That said, it is important to stress that we must also consider <strong>the right way to structure that growth<\/strong> and <strong>the obligations it may entail<\/strong>, because Spanish law contains a regulatory turning point that often stays off the radar: the 50-employee threshold.<\/p>\n<p>Once a company exceeds 50 employees in Spain, a set of legal obligations of varying nature is triggered (labour, anti-discrimination and <em>compliance<\/em> obligations, among others), and failure to meet them may lead to penalties that can go well beyond a simple fine. With these obligations in mind, at <strong>Navarro Llima Abogados<\/strong> we wanted to briefly outline each of them, so that those in charge can anticipate and manage them properly.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, companies that reach 50 employees should bear the following points in mind:<\/p>\n<h3>Equality Plan and Pay Audit<\/h3>\n<p>They will be required to have an <strong>Equality Plan<\/strong> negotiated with the employees&#8217; representatives and publicly registered in the REGCON system of the Ministry of Labour. This plan must also be reviewed every four years and entails carrying out a <strong>pay audit<\/strong> intended to demonstrate that no gender-based pay gaps are arising.<\/p>\n<h3>LGBTI Plan<\/h3>\n<p>They will be required to have a set of measures in place (or a formal plan, depending on the circumstances) to guarantee equality and non-discrimination for LGBTI individuals in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>These measures include, among others: anti-harassment protocols, together with training and a review of internal human resources processes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10849 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/10847340-e1780057185449-300x274.png\" alt=\"Obligations of a subsidiary for exceeding 50 employees in Spain.\" width=\"300\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/10847340-e1780057185449-300x274.png 300w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/10847340-e1780057185449-1024x936.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/10847340-e1780057185449-768x702.png 768w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/10847340-e1780057185449-700x640.png 700w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/10847340-e1780057185449.png 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Whistleblowing Channel \u2014 Internal Reporting System<\/h3>\n<p>As a result of the transposition of the European whistleblower protection directive <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/en\/TXT\/?uri=CELEX%3A32019L1937\">(<em>Whistleblowing Directive<\/em>)<\/a>, it will be mandatory to have an <strong>internal whistleblowing channel<\/strong>, so that employees can report\u2014confidentially and, where appropriate, anonymously\u2014irregularities, fraud and, in general, any conduct contrary to ethics or sound business practice.<\/p>\n<p>The company must therefore appoint a designated officer, and the system must set out matters such as acknowledgement deadlines, resolution deadlines, confidentiality measures and safeguards against retaliation.<\/p>\n<h3>Reserved Quota for Persons with Disabilities<\/h3>\n<p>An obligation arises for at least <strong>2% of the workforce<\/strong> to be made up of persons with a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%.<\/p>\n<p>That said, on an exceptional basis and provided the regulatory requirements are met, this quota may be replaced by alternative measures, such as contracting services from Special Employment Centres or making donations to foundations in the sector.<\/p>\n<h3>Collective Representation: Works Council and Health and Safety Committee<\/h3>\n<p>The collective representation of employees takes on a qualitatively different dimension.<\/p>\n<p>The company is now required to facilitate the establishment of the <strong>Works Council<\/strong>. This body holds statutory rights of information, consultation and negotiation over business decisions, as it will have a bearing on matters such as collective redundancy procedures, substantial changes to working conditions and even business transfers or changes to the production structure.<\/p>\n<p>For subsidiary executives accustomed to Anglo-Saxon or Northern European labour frameworks, this point deserves particular attention, because the Works Council is not a merely consultative body in any formal sense. Its involvement is mandatory in certain procedures, and failing to engage it may render the decisions adopted null and void.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10468 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-300x214.jpg\" alt=\"Works council for subsidiaries with more than 50 employees in Spain\" width=\"356\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-2048x1463.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-700x500.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.navarrollimaabogados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/close-up-hands-holding-paper-people-scaled.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Pay Register and Data Protection Officer<\/h3>\n<p>An annually updated <strong>pay register<\/strong> must be maintained, reflecting\u2014broken down by sex, professional category and type of contract\u2014the average values of salaries, supplements and non-wage benefits across the entire workforce.<\/p>\n<p>As for the <strong>Data Protection Officer<\/strong>, this requirement is not triggered directly by the number of employees, but rather by the nature and volume of the data processing carried out by the organisation.
