i am sure he will have no answer, but WHY do i not qualify for the 2.500 baby cheque. the new law says all babies born in Spain get 2.500 euros. with a catch...the mother has to have been legally in Spain for two years. I can see not giving the cheque out if both parts of the couple are not legal citizens. after all, then people could just flood over the border, have a baby, and take their check back home. but i am legally married to a spaniard, who has legally been a resident for 34 years. it is nuts.
of course, if i were the spaniard and my husband were the american, then I would qualify for the cheque. apparently the only way the mother can forfeit the cheque to her husband is if she dies in childbirth. lovely.
so, angry minds want to know!
saludos

 to add one more social injustice: Why isn't my Canadian driver's license valid in Spain? It is valid in England and English licenses are valid in Spain. So if 'a'='b'and 'b'='c', 'c' must equal 'a', no? Maybe we should stop quejando about issues of foreigners living in Spain and talk about Spain en el extranjero . What is the funniest situation he has ever come across with other country's misconceptions of Spain? Um, ... anyone else (mine is kind of lame)? I am not sure if this is like a Q and A period or what. ps. congrats Candy!!! |

It's not illegal, you can do both. However, you will have to pay double the social security...the mandatory payments as a freelance worker as well as whatever they take out of your nomina while working under contract. Debbie, I would be interested in taking a look at your CV. Would you want to send it to me? You can email me it through the board. Congratulations Candy! Who would have ever guessed?! I completely second what my "tocaya" said, get ready to fall in love as you have never fallen in love before! Your child, for you, will always be the most handsome, the smartest, the most adorable, the most the most the most...!

careful Ola, it is not the same to be autónomo/a as it is to have a company (s.l., s.a., etc...). if you were autónoma before being hired by a company, you can still stay autónoma but you will still have to keep paying your autónomos ss. Chica wrote... quote: It's not illegal, you can do both. However, you will have to pay double the social security...
there is a better way to go so you need not pay twice. start an s.l. but as a non-ss paying one. we have done this for the magazine since me and my partners all have other "things" going as well. ask a "gestor" about the non-social security paying type of s.l. as i do not know the details, only that you are not obligated to pay ss for the s.l. partners nor admin. so, you can be autónomo and also owner of this type of s.l. and you will only be paying the ss once (under your autónomo status). you can bill via the s.l. but still have the other responsibilities of any s.l. (paying the i.v.a. quarterly, yearly income taxes, etc...). saludos, jer...

Hmm, interesting. We do something like this in the US... I wonder if you can do this and bill for work and then also work for a company and pay SS there. About autónomos--Debbie, a lot of people only go autónomo for the month when they have to bill for something. You don't have to stay autónoma all the time. |

Thats illegal??? Damn... I´m both autonomo and a "normal", full time employee at another company. My abogado didn´t say anything when I established my company but then at that time I didn´t have a full time job...
