The new remuneration for this type of workers has retroactive effects as of September 1, 2021

Social Security has announced what the salary will be for domestic workers, according to the new Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI) announced and approved by the Government of Spain.

That is, this salary cannot be less than 1125.83 euros/month for people with a full-time employment contract.
