Labour
Payroll & Social Security
Accurate, on-time payroll processing and full Social Security compliance for businesses in Elche and the Alicante region.
What is it?
Payroll management is one of the most technically demanding obligations a business faces. Every month, salaries must be calculated with precision, taking into account applicable collective agreements, personal income tax (IRPF) withholdings, Social Security contributions, overtime, bonuses, absences, and any other variable elements. Errors here do not just cause employee dissatisfaction — they trigger penalties from the Tax Agency and the Social Security system.
Social Security compliance goes hand in hand with payroll. Every employer must register workers before their first day, file monthly contribution reports (TC1 and TC2 equivalents under the RED system), and keep all registration and deregistration paperwork up to date. The rules change regularly, and the consequences of falling behind — surcharges, interest, and even temporary trading restrictions — can be severe.
At GCT1, we have been handling payroll and Social Security for businesses of all sizes in Elche and the wider Alicante province since 1995. We manage the entire cycle on your behalf, so you can focus on running your business while we ensure every figure is correct and every deadline is met.
Who is it for?

- Start-ups hiring their first employees and needing to set up Social Security from scratch
- Companies with seasonal or variable workforces where payroll complexity changes month to month
