Spanish Lawyers Clarify Unfair Dismissal Rights

**Spanish Employment Law: Understanding Unfair Dismissal Claims** Madrid, Spain – In a recent video posted online, two Spanish lawyers offered clarity on the rights of employees facing unfair dismissal. The lawyers explained that the timeframe and maximum compensation an employee can claim depend heavily on their contract's start date. For contracts signed before February 12, 2012, employees have a longer period to file a claim and may be eligible for a higher payout. "If your contract is prior to February 12, 2012, you can claim for 45 days' salary per year worked, up to a maximum of 42 monthly payments," one of the lawyers explained. For more recent contracts, the period is shorter, at 20 working days, with a maximum of 33 days' salary per year, up to 24 monthly payments. The lawyers emphasized the importance of seeking legal counsel if facing dismissal. Their video has garnered significant views and engagement, highlighting the widespread interest in understanding these legal rights. The information provided is valuable and directly relevant to a significant portion of the Spanish workforce. This clarity serves as a helpful resource for many.
