Dismissed in Barcelona? Start with the letter and the exact date.
Keep the complete dismissal letter, note exactly when it was notified and preserve the documents provided by the employer. We can review the situation with you.
Dismissal claims can be subject to short statutory time limits. Check the exact dates early.
The first question is not “is this fair?” It is “what exactly was notified, and when?”
- Dismissal letter: keep the complete document and notification evidence.
- Effective date: distinguish the notification date from the date the employment ends.
- Money: keep the settlement and compensation proposal.
- Employment file: contract, amendments, payslips and relevant messages can matter.
As a general rule, a dismissal challenge is subject to a 20-working-day deadline. The exact calculation depends on the date and procedural circumstances of the case.

Dismissal letter
Check the stated reason, effective date and how the dismissal was communicated.
Settlement and severance
The final settlement and legal compensation are related, but they are not the same thing.
Act early
Do not calculate the deadline from memory. Start with the exact notification date and the relevant procedural rules.
What should you send first?
You do not need to decide whether the dismissal is fair, unfair or void before contacting the firm. Start with the dismissal letter, notification date, contract and latest payslips.
