### WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED

Wage debts become time-barred one year after they fell due (article 59.2 of the Workers' Statute). The calculation is done under the collective agreement, not the contract where the contract underpaid.

What it includes: calculation of the amount owed under the applicable collective agreement; conciliation request before the mediation body; claim and hearing before the employment court. What it does not include: it does not include a claim to the wage guarantee fund where the employer is insolvent, handled separately.

#### DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED

- Payslips for the period claimed and the employment contract.
- Time records or evidence of the hours worked.
- Applicable collective agreement if you know it.

#### INDICATIVE TIMING

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 3 and 7 working days.

Claims for amounts owed are time-barred after one year (from when they could be claimed). Conciliation is scheduled within weeks and the hearing within months; if the employer is insolvent, the wage guarantee fund (FOGASA) route opens.

See [the pricing page](https://iberfacil.es/en/pricing) for how we charge this kind of matter.

### How it works

1. **MERITS AND DEADLINES** We calculate what you are owed under the applicable collective agreement: wages, overtime, extra payments, untaken holidays.
2. **PROFESSIONAL AND QUOTE** We ask for the contract, the payslips, the rotas or working-time records and the transfers received. Price in writing.
3. **PLEADINGS AND EVIDENCE** We file the conciliation request with the mediation body and, without agreement, the claim before the employment court.
4. **HEARING AND JUDGMENT** We attend the trial and explain the judgment. If the company cannot pay, the claim to the wage guarantee fund is handled separately.

#### What to have at hand

- Payslips for the period claimed and the employment contract
- Time records or evidence of the hours worked
- Applicable collective agreement if you know it

### Frequently asked questions

CAN I CLAIM WITHOUT LEAVING THE JOB?

Yes. And if you are dismissed for claiming, that dismissal is treated specifically.

PART OF MY PAY WAS UNDECLARED.

Harder to prove, but not impossible. We look at what evidence you have.

THE COMPANY HAS CLOSED.

The claim remains and then the guarantee fund, within its limits. We explain how much it covers.
