If a court treats your engagement as disguised employment, an unfair dismissal costs 33 days' salary per year of service, capped at 24 monthly salaries — Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 56.1, as of 2012.
An objective (economic) dismissal costs 20 days' salary per year of service, capped at 12 monthly salaries, plus 15 days' prior notice — Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 53.1.b), as of 2015.
Without a collective agreement the probationary period may not exceed 6 months for qualified technical staff (2 months for other workers) — Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 14.1, as of 2015.
Statutory maximum working time is 40 hours per week on an annual average — a fixed, directed schedule is an indicator of disguised employment — Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 34.1, as of 2015.
The employer must keep a daily record of every worker's start and end times (registro diario de jornada) — Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 34.9, as of 2019.
Statutory minimum paid annual leave is 30 calendar days, not replaceable by a cash payment — Estatuto de los Trabajadores art. 38.1, as of 2015.
A freelance services contract (arrendamiento de servicios) is governed by the Civil Code, not by employment law — Código Civil art. 1544, as of 1889.

Both sides read the same contract — in their own language

Generic template shops give you a Spanish-only or an English-only agreement. DUOLEXX generates both versions in a single document, grounded in Spanish law — both parties understand exactly what they agree and the contract stays enforceable in Spain.

Governing Language Version

This document consists of two language versions. In the event of any discrepancy or question of interpretation, the version in the governing legal language (Español) shall prevail; the English version is a translation provided for convenience.

Why DUOLEXX instead of just asking an AI?

An AI writes text fast. That doesn't make it legally sound, bilingual and ready to sign. That's exactly the difference.

Grounded in local law

Every document follows the law of the chosen country — researched clauses, not a generic template from the web.

Authoritative language + translation

The binding version in the legal language, alongside an understandable translation. A chat rarely delivers both, soundly, at once.

Verifiable signature

Two-party signature with a SHA-256 integrity proof — provable that both signed the same wording.

Finished, not just text

PDF, signature, archive and share link in one flow — an AI chat only hands back raw text.

Choose a template

Choose a region and document type — every template follows local law.
