Spain employment transparency reforms

Entities: Málaga City Council · Vox · Más Cerca · Sara López · Ayuntamiento de Málaga

Overview

In early July 2026, the Spanish government announced a new requirement that firms with 50 or more employees must disclose salary information, signalling a national push for greater pay transparency.

Later that month, municipal authorities began adapting to the broader regulatory climate. In Soria, the city council corrected job posting documents after the Vox party highlighted procedural and data‑protection errors, while in Malaga the council approved a €4.8 million payment to the public company Más Cerca to align its workers’ salaries with municipal staff following a court‑ordered collective bargaining agreement. These local actions illustrate how the national transparency mandate is being implemented and contested at the municipal level.
