What, didn’t you live there before?

What, didn’t you live there before?
I did, for 13 years, and that concrete batching plant is just up the road from where I want to go back to.
But I wasn´t looking for driving jobs then.
If I was still there now, I´d probably apply, grudgingly 
. But a move from UK back to there? Nopè, too much hassle and expense.
(And uncertainty as to what´s happening with DCPC)
Over here and I presume Spain is probably the same, you get a set hourly rate for a “guaranteed” 38 hour week, if you work less than the 38 you will still get the wage, anything over that 38 is on an overtime rate on a graded system, first ■■ hours 25% next ■■ hours 50% , then obviously higher set rates for w/ends and Bk/hols.
Not sure about Spain but here in France you get allowances that are “TAX FREE” : breakfast, lunch, evening meals, night allowance and others.
Wages can be low in Europe, but if you stay below a certain threshold on the taxable income, you wont get taxed, money is made up on the tax-free allowances.
Here the tax year is Jan - Dec and last year I earned for 9 months, salary around € 18,000, brought up to € 34,000 with my allowances.
Before you knock it, find out what extras/add-on’s are added.
That´s good info, thanks 
I´ll fire off an email in my godawful Spanish and see what the score is
Nope, nothing, nada.
