Spanish Workers Face Financial Risk Due to Overlooked Legal Deadlines, Expert Warns

"Legal Expert Warns of Costly Deadlines in Spanish Labor Law" Madrid, Spain – A recent online video from legal professional ‘Empleado Informado’ has brought to light the critical importance of adhering to strict deadlines when filing labor claims in Spain. The expert highlighted a case where a client reportedly lost a significant sum of 40,000 euros due to failing to initiate a claim within the legally mandated timeframe after a dismissal. According to the video, a fundamental principle of law dictates that all claims are subject to a legal period. Specifically, in cases of dismissal, employees have only 20 working days to file a claim. The legal advisor emphasized a crucial detail often overlooked: "In the labor sphere, August is a working month, and deadlines continue to count, unlike in other branches of law." The expert recounted a specific instance from September of the previous year where a client, dismissed in July, contacted them too late. "I had to give him the very hard news that his case was lost before it even began, because the deadline to claim had passed," the expert stated. This anecdote serves as a stark warning about the financial repercussions of not knowing one's rights and acting promptly. The video concludes by urging workers to be aware of these deadlines and seek timely legal counsel to prevent similar losses.
