Is there a National Minimum Wage in Spain like there is for the UK? If so, how much is it?

Wow...........when I relocate to Spain next year then it's best that I try to work for my current UK employer but from home in Spain. Not that I am on the UK minimum wage - far from it, but I was interested to know!

Most industries have what are called "Convenios" these are agreements for minimum rates, hours of work, holidays etc. They vary depending on trade and province.

The government has announced a 5.5 per cent increase in the minimum wage from January 1, bringing it to 570.60 euros a month. That means 29.70 euros more per month for minimum-wage workers.

It is the third increase in as many years, with a cumulative three-year jump of 23.9 per cent. A similar 30-euro bump is expected in 2008 to bring the wage up to the administration’s promised 600 euros.

Remember that there are 14 payments a year so the annual figure is now just under €8000.

So that equates to around £3/hr?

Most people we knew who were working the bars/cafe's and villa cleaning were earning 6 euro an hour. Whether that was declared or not......
