Employee benefits in
Spain

Spain has a range of laws to support people with disabilities. From the perspective of employers, the most important law requires employers to hire disabled workers at a rate of 2% of their total workforce, regardless of workforce size. There are some alternatives if this target can’t be met, for example, employers can subcontract disabled workers or donate to certain approved organizations.

Disability benefits are paid in the case of disability impacting an employee’s ability to work, with varying payments depending on the nature of the disability. This is covered by the country’s social security system.
