Spain: Domestic Workers' Vacation Rights Explained In Spain, the rights of domestic workers regarding paid vacations are often unclear. A recent video by labor lawyer, Abogado Víctor Arpa, clarifies this issue. The video, uploaded on June 4th, 2025, has already garnered significant views and engagement, highlighting the need for clear information on this topic. According to Arpa, "regardless of whether you have a contract or not, or if you work full-time or part-time, if you work more than 120 hours per year, you're entitled to 30 days of paid vacation." He further emphasizes the importance of requesting these vacations in writing, stating that "WhatsApp is a valid way to do so." This advice is crucial for protecting the rights of domestic workers. The video's popularity underscores the importance of disseminating this information. Arpa's expertise and clear communication make the video a valuable resource for domestic workers and employers alike. His offer to assist those whose rights are not respected provides a further layer of support for those who may need it.
