New Spanish Pension Law: Understanding Part-Time Work's Impact on Retirement
A recent video by Spanish labor lawyer Un Tío Legal has provided essential clarification on pension contributions for part-time workers, addressing a widespread misunderstanding. The lawyer, known for his informative content, explained that a day worked part-time now counts as a full day towards the total number of days required for retirement eligibility. This represents a significant change from previous regulations, which disproportionately affected part-time employees. Before the reform, a part-time day was often counted as only 0.5 days, meaning individuals had to work twice as long to accumulate the same number of qualifying days as their full-time counterparts. "This is not true," stated Un Tío Legal, referring to the idea that part-time work contributes identically to full-time work. He elaborated that while the days are now equated for eligibility, the actual pension amount remains tied to the worker's contribution base, which reflects their earnings. Therefore, a part-time worker's pension will still be lower than that of a full-time worker with a higher contribution base. The reform aims to mitigate discrimination, particularly benefiting women who are statistically more likely to be in part-time employment. The lawyer concluded by advising viewers to understand these nuances to avoid being misled about their retirement benefits.
