Working In Spain, Hours And Holiday Pay

If you Work in Spain you will enjoy a strict protection of your rights, all your rights are detailed in your contract. You should therefore make sure you are provided with a legal contract (in fact it is illegal to work without one, and those caught doing so will be deported back to their home country). Work contracts will be provided in Spanish and it is advisable to have it translated.

The two main contracts are:
# Indefinite term contract
# Fixed term contract

Generally most work contracts are different because it depends on the type of work you are carrying out for each individual company. Most contracts allow for a siesta period between 14.00 and 17.00 in the afternoon.

Mainly one year contracts are provided with 14 or 15 monthly payments including extra pay at Easter and Christmas. Standard practice is to give an extra vacation payment in August.

At the termination of a contract, depending upon the length of employment, employees may generally be granted a severance payment, which is related to the length of employment and wage.

Should you be unhappy and feel that your contract has been wrongfully terminated, you are entitled to present a demand for conciliation within 20 days. The outcome is reliant on the agreement between the parties. If no agreement is reached, you may place a suit before the Labour Court (Juzgado de lo Social) within 20 days. If the court finds in your favour, you will receive 45 days compensation for every year of your employment. If you remain unsatisfied, you have five days to file for recourse.

Cost of living and Quality of life (vida)
You have to bear in mind that wages tend to be lower in Spain but the living costs are relative to what you earn, when compared to the UK where living costs and the standard of living is considerably higher. Spain does enforce a minimum wage, which from July 2004 was set at 15.35 euros per day, or 490 euros per month.

Working hours and holidays
The Spanish have a standard working week consisting of 40 hours, with overtime this can reach 43 hours. The normal working day includes a two or three hour afternoon siesta and a later finishing time. In the summer months working hours may change. There are no scheduled coffee or tea breaks, but employees take these around their working schedule.

Overtime is not compulsory in Spain but can never exceed 80 hours a year. Overtime should be paid at the normal rate plus a minimum of 75% of the normal hourly rate. Time off may be given in lieu of overtime but there must be a written agreement beforehand.

If you are a full time employee you will be entitled to one month’s paid annual holiday (20 days) and a minimum of one and half days off per month. Spain has 14 national and local paid public holidays a year. If your holiday falls on a weekend, another day is not usually granted unless the number of public holdiays that falls below a certain number. It is advisable to check with your employer what the allowances are in your workplace.

Benefits of working in Spain
The employer deducts all the employment taxes and Social Security contributions and pays them directly to the official offices. Deductions come to around 8.4%, which breaks down to 2% IRPF (tax) and 6.4% Social Security contributions. Fringe benefits for contracted employees include health coverage under social security, workmen’s compensation, unemployment and retirement.

Travel Vacation Business Opportunities Reviews

Standard Travel Industry practice is to book big blocks of rooms, cruises, resorts, and air travel during the peak travel times throughout the year. This practice makes it virtually impossible for the little guy to get a great deal booking a vacation. Travel Industry exerts leverage in this way to maximize inventory and profits. The individual is hard pressed to find any deals even in areas with excess inventory since availability is controlled by this standard industry operating procedure. Since most people can’t travel whenever they want this Travel Industry’s model is very effective and continues to work well for the industry bottom line.

Now if you have the ability to travel at the drop of a hat you can get a better deal but you are still in the grasp of the travel industry’s business model, the Travel Discounters, you know the names. When a drop dead expiration date approaches for the larger travel sellers then this same excess inventory is released into the next part of the food chain which are your Discount Travel Brokers. These brokers pass on some savings to the consumer; yet still control large travel blocks insuring profit and control for their business model. This cycle is repeated week after week and there is always inventory that is perishing. This perishing inventory is sizable and creates a great opportunity, but this opportunity is not open to John Q Public. Well at least that was the case till now.

It is situated to become a leading player in the travel industry which by the way is a 7 Trillion dollar industry. Primo Vacations Club was founded by Rob Hanley and Dave Garven who are also the co-founders of the hugely successful Your Net Biz business opportunity.

There are many travel business opportunities out there that range in price from $2,995 upwards to $9,995. Some of these businesses are Global Resorts Network, MOR Vacations, Resorts 360, and Cruise To Cash; they really are not in the travel business but rather in the opportunity business. What I mean by that is that none of these opportunities allow you to sell a travel membership to the consumer directly like Primo Vacations Club does. Here are the costs associated with these business opportunities: Global Resorts Network $3,500.00 plus $149 monthly, Resorts 360 $3,995.00 or $399 and $249 monthly lifetime, MOR Vacations $1,998.00 plus $149 annual, and Cruise To Cash $977.

None of the above mentioned businesses are set up to sell travel but rather sell opportunity with a travel product. Therefore none of the above mentioned business models actually allow you to carve out a niche in the 7 trillion dollar travel business. Furthermore, internet data shows that there are about 23 million people globally looking to start a home based online business. Data collected from surveys reveals that those people say they are only willing to spend $1,000 to start business. That means that if you chose an opportunity like; Global Resorts Network, MOR Vacations, and Resorts 360, you would have lost 99% of the global opportunity seekers market. Why market to 1% of the global business opportunity seekers and shut yourself out completely from the 7 trillion dollar travel industry?
