What to keep in mind
- A job title does not determine the agreement.
- Find the text and updated pay tables.
- An end date does not mean every provision stops applying.
General guidance for employees in Spain. The collective agreement, employment relationship and circumstances can change the answer. Seek employment advice for a specific dispute or deadline.
From its name to the text you need
The same occupation may appear in companies covered by different collective agreements. In Campo de Cartagena, saying “farming”, “cleaning” or “warehouse work” is not enough: identify the employer, activity and scope.
1 · Identify
Ask for name, code and publication. Check activity, geographical and personal scope; a company agreement may also exist.
2 · Find
Consult REGCON and the relevant official publication, including BORM for regional texts. Look for later revisions and agreements.
3 · Compare
Match actual duties to the professional group and check annual pay, hours, supplements, holidays and probation.
Identify the agreement
Check the contract or employer information and ask for the name and code. The job title alone does not identify it: functional, territorial and personal scope and precedence rules matter.
Read the text and updates
CCNCC provides an indicative map and access to REGCON. Search results alone do not determine the agreement for your case. Check official publication, pay revisions and validity rules.
Prepare an enquiry
Take your contract, employer activity, location and actual duties to staff representatives or an adviser. Confirm applicability before claiming an amount calculated under a different agreement.
Explore a worked example
Two people are administrative assistants, one in a hotel and the other in industry. They want to use the same pay table.
How to interpret it
Sharing a job title does not prove that the same agreement applies. Activity, employer and application rules also matter; choosing the highest table does not resolve this.
A useful next step
Ask each employer for the exact reference and confirm doubts with worker representatives or an adviser.
