First Soderin Veintiuno agreement: 35 hours and three years of validity

The Official Gazette of the Province of Seville publishes this Thursday, October 29, 2026, in issue number 210, the full text of the first collective agreement for the personnel of Soderin Veintiuno Desarrollo y Vivienda M.P., S.A.U., the municipal housing company of the La Rinconada City Council. The agreement, which takes effect from July 1, 2026, once approved by the company’s Board of Directors, establishes the working day, professional classification, contracting, and remuneration conditions for the entire workforce. The publication occupies 39 pages of the gazette and is identified by the official reference BOP-SE-2026-210031.

Framework: Alignment with the City Council Agreement

The agreement is developed based on the 2008 collective agreement of the La Rinconada City Council, including its current inclusions, modifications, and agreements, with the express intention of equalizing the labor conditions of the municipal labor staff with those of the company’s workforce. Its functional scope covers the company’s real estate promotion (CNAE 6812) and building construction (CNAE 4101) activities, and extends to the functions or delegations that the City Council may mandate to it in those sectors.

The validity extends from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2029, with an annual tacit extension and retroactivity of economic conditions from the initial date. Excluded from the scope are senior management personnel, cases excluded by the Workers’ Statute, and personnel incorporated through collaboration agreements signed directly by the company.

Working Day, Vacations, and Overtime

Personnel will have a general working day from Monday to Friday, 35 hours per week throughout the year, with the labor calendar set according to the holidays of the State, the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, and the City Council. Overtime will be paid with surcharges of 75% on working days, 100% on holidays or during night shifts, and 125% when both circumstances coincide, unless double compensatory rest is chosen by the worker.

• Vacations: 22 working days, extendable by one additional day for every three years of service up to a maximum of 26.
• Night shift bonus: 25% of the base salary for hours worked between 22:00 and 6:00, except for those contracted for a fixed night shift.
• Leave: five working days for the death or serious illness of a first or second-degree relative, and seven days for the death of a spouse or domestic partner with children under 12 years old.
• Breastfeeding: one hour of absence per day, divisible into two fractions and replaceable by a reduction in working hours.

Stable Employment and Professional Classification

Permanent hiring is established as the general modality. Temporary contracts are limited to those based on production circumstances—with a maximum duration of six months, extendable to one year—and substitution contracts, in addition to the two training modalities. The probationary period will be six months for qualified personnel and two months for administrative staff and operators. Vacancies will be filled by the reinstatement of surplus staff, internal promotion through a competitive process, and, lastly, through the means provided by labor regulations.

The classification is organized into five groups: A1 (degrees and superior architecture), A2 (diplomas and technical architecture), C1 (drafter and administrative), C2 (administrative assistant, construction official, bricklayer, and machinist), and OAP (construction laborer). A Joint Parity Commission for interpretation and oversight is created, with meetings held at least annually.

Remuneration and social conditions

The monthly base salary ranges from 1,374.86 euros for group A1 to 906.64 euros for the laborer, with a specific supplement per position and triennials of 4% of the base salary. Remuneration is paid in 14 installments, with two extraordinary payments of 30 days on June 30 and December 20. Remuneration will be updated according to the increase set by the General State Budget Law for public administration personnel.

Notable social improvements include:

• Group life insurance with a capital of 36,060.73 euros per worker.
• Marriage allowance of 300 euros, extendable to registered domestic partnerships.
• Advance fund of up to 7,200 euros, with a maximum of 2,400 euros per request.
• School grants of 78.76 euros for nursery school and 112.52 euros for compulsory education and baccalaureate.
• Early retirement bonuses between 14,000 and 24,000 euros, depending on age.

The text also incorporates the I Equality Plan, approved in November 2024 for the 2024-2028 period, with twelve objectives and measures regarding selection, promotion, training, reconciliation, and harassment prevention.

Impact

The publication makes Soderin Veintiuno the first municipal company in La Rinconada with its own collective agreement and equates, through collective bargaining, the conditions of its staff with those of the City Council personnel, providing legal stability to the workforce and a fixed remuneration framework until 2029.
