Salary supplement €812 for disability centers in Aragón: what must be paid in 2025 and 2026

Key data

Contracted disability care centers in Aragón have a new remuneration obligation effective January 1, 2026. The sectoral agreement, published in the BOE on July 23, 2026 through the Resolution of the General Labor Directorate, establishes a Remuneration Supplement of the Autonomous Community of Aragón of non-consolidated nature for certain professional categories in the sector.

The supplement is not a voluntary improvement: it arises from an agreement between employers' and union organizations in the sector, officially registered and published. Its amount, conditions and termination are fixed, and its future disappearance is not considered a substantial modification of working conditions nor grounds for contract termination.

What does this regulation establish?

The agreement creates the «Remuneration Supplement of the Autonomous Community of Aragón», a regional salary supplement of non-consolidated nature. This means it does not integrate into the worker's permanent base salary: it can be terminated without constituting a substantial modification of working conditions or giving the right to contract termination.

The amounts set are as follows:

The essential condition: payment by the centers is conditional on the Aragón Education Department previously transferring the funds to the contracted centers. If the Administration does not make that transfer, companies are automatically exempt from paying the supplement.

Economic and operational impact

For a center with several workers in the affected categories, the impact is direct and quantifiable. In 2026, each eligible worker represents an additional cost of €58 gross per month, plus the proportional part of extraordinary pay. Taking two extraordinary payments as reference, the annual cost per worker amounts to approximately €812 gross (identical to the single payment of 2025).

From an operational perspective, centers must:

• Verify whether the Aragón Education Department has made the fund transfer before proceeding with payment.
• Identify which workers belong to the affected categories and update payroll records.
• Manage the 2025 payment as a single retroactive payment (if not already paid), with the deadline of March 31, 2025.
• Incorporate the monthly supplement of €58 into the payroll structure for 2026.

The non-consolidated nature of the supplement reduces the risk of future litigation if it is terminated, but requires properly documenting its conditional nature in contracts and salary slips.

Who does it affect?

The supplement applies exclusively to workers of contracted disability care centers in Aragón who belong to the following professional categories:

• Administrative and General Services Personnel — Subgroup V.1
• Administrative and General Services Personnel — Subgroup V.2
• Educational Technical Auxiliaries
• Caregivers

Non-contracted centers and workers in unlisted categories are outside the scope of application. The reference agreement is the XVI General collective agreement for centers and services for care of persons with disabilities.

Practical example

A contracted center in Zaragoza has 12 workers in the affected categories: 4 caregivers, 5 educational technical auxiliaries and 3 administrative staff from subgroups V.1 and V.2.

For 2025: The center must pay €812 gross for each of the 12 workers, which represents a total disbursement of €9,744 gross, provided that the Aragón Education Department has previously transferred the corresponding funds. The deadline was March 31, 2025.

For 2026: The center incorporates €58 gross monthly per worker in payroll, plus the pro-rata extraordinary pay. The additional monthly cost is €696 gross (12 workers × €58), and the approximate annual cost amounts to €9,744 gross for this supplement.

If the Aragón Education Department does not transfer funds in any month or fiscal year, the center is exempt from payment for that period, without generating any obligation for deferred payment or liability to the worker.

What should companies do now?

1. Confirm fund transfer: Contact the Aragón Education Department or review communications received to verify if funds have been transferred. Without that transfer, there is no payment obligation.
2. Identify affected workers: Review your workforce and locate all employees classified in subgroups V.1 and V.2 of Administrative and General Services, Educational Technical Auxiliaries and Caregivers.
3. Regularize 2025 payment: If the single payment of €812 gross was not paid before March 31, 2025 (and the Administration did transfer funds), consult with your labor advisor about the situation and possible contingencies.
4. Update payroll structure for 2026: Incorporate the supplement of €58 gross monthly plus pro-rata extraordinary pay in the payroll system, labeled «Remuneration Supplement of the Autonomous Community of Aragón» and non-consolidated nature.
5. Document the conditional and non-consolidated nature: Ensure that salary slips correctly reflect the nature of the supplement to avoid future claims if it is terminated.
6. Monitor future transfers: Establish a process to monitor transfers from the Aragón Education Department to activate or suspend payment as appropriate in each period.
