Legal Alert: Why You Should Never Sign Your Payroll Without Receiving Full Payment
Madrid, Spain – A prominent Spanish labor lawyer, Juanma Lorente, has issued a crucial warning to employees across the country: do not sign your payroll if you have not received your full salary. In a recent online video, Lorente emphasized the potential legal pitfalls of signing a payslip when wages are outstanding, stating that such an action could complicate future claims for unpaid earnings. According to Lorente, several court rulings have considered a signed payroll as sufficient proof that an employee has received their due compensation. This legal precedent can make it challenging for workers to later prove that they were not paid, even if the funds were never transferred. "You can get into trouble if you sign it," Lorente advised. "Both if you haven't received anything from the payroll, and if you haven't received the full amount, you should not sign it." For employees who find themselves in a situation where they are pressured to sign a payroll without having been paid, Lorente offered alternative solutions. He suggested either refusing to sign the document outright or, if signing is unavoidable, making a clear notation on the payroll itself indicating the exact amount that remains unpaid. This step, he explained, could serve as vital evidence should legal action become necessary. Lorente's advice highlights a critical aspect of employment law, urging workers to be vigilant about their rights concerning salary payments and documentation.
