The gross salary of the worker and the cost of Social Security will mark the total cost of hiring

El sueldo bruto del trabajador y el coste de la Seguridad Social

When hiring a worker for your company, you must take into account that their remuneration will be based on the one hand, on the gross salary of the worker and, on the other, on the cost of the employee’s Social Security,at the expense of the company.

Gross worker’s salary

What the company pays to the worker is the gross salary, which is constituted by the salary perceptions in money and the extra-wage perceptions. While wage receipts contribute to Social Security, extra-wage contributions do not.

That said, you must be clear that you can not pay a worker the amount you decide, but you must pay him based on the provisions of the Collective Agreement of your sector and Autonomous Community or province,where the minimum wage is established for each professional category.

In any case, you can pay a higher salary if you think it necessary, depending on aspects such as the qualification or experience of the worker, and the competence that exists to perform a certain job.
