My work

I work at a small office in a lovely Spanish town close to Valencia and the Mediterranean seashore. The office provides various services such as: company formation, support in payroll policy, accounting and tax advice.

My main duties are filling in and registering of work contracts, preparation of payslips and social security communications, among others. Generally speaking, I am in charge of all administrative formalities related to employees. That requires a good organisation and timing.

Our office’s structure is very simple. Basically, it contains of (or 'consists of') the Human Resources Department and the Finance and Accounting Department. There are only four employees, so we all are responsible FOR customer attention and marketing.

Most of our clients are small-business owners like such as restaurants owners, hairdressers, dentists and grocers, although we also have a few bigger companies such as a petrol station and an exportation company.

I really like my job, I have learnt a lot about Spanish hiring policy and how the Spanish labour market works. It gives me important work experience as well as language training. I appreciate the fantastic relations we have among the employees. A positive work environment makes me feel good about coming to work and keeps me motivated throughout the day.

I only wish I had more contact with foreigner clients or could work in a more international environment.
