Iguality compensates collaborators according to Levels defined by track (Clinical, Executive, or Operational) and seniority (Junior, Medior, or Senior). Rates are published in the Levels table and apply to all engagements.
Independent Contractor Status
All collaborators work as independent contractors:
- Flexible schedule — you organise your own time; no fixed hours or online requirements.
- Own equipment — you provide your own hardware and workspace. Specific tools required for the work can be discussed case by case.
- Multiple clients — you are free to work with other clients simultaneously. A diverse portfolio is encouraged.
Current base rates per role
Base hourly rates are set by track and seniority. All rates are in euros and apply to Band 1 hours (0–15h/week) at 100%.
Clinical
Clinical roles carry direct professional and ethical responsibility for the wellbeing of service users. Rates reflect the formal qualifications, supervised practice hours, and ongoing professional accountability required.
- Junior Clinical — €23.00/hr
- Medior Clinical — €24.00/hr
- Senior Clinical — €25.00/hr
Executive
Executive roles carry organisational responsibility for strategy, partnerships, and institutional continuity. Rates reflect the leadership experience, cross-sector knowledge, and autonomous decision-making required.
- Junior Executive — €23.00/hr
- Medior Executive — €24.00/hr
- Senior Executive — €25.00/hr
Operational
Operational roles are the backbone of programme delivery and community engagement. Rates reflect hands-on experience and coordination skills, while remaining competitive within the Barcelona NGO market.
- Junior Operational — €21.00/hr
- Medior Operational — €22.00/hr
- Senior Operational — €23.00/hr
The Band System
Iguality uses a progressive pricing structure: the more hours you commit per week, the lower the marginal rate on additional hours. Each band rate applies only to hours within that range — crossing a threshold never reduces what you've already earned.
- Band 1 (0–15h/week): 100% of your base rate on all hours.
- Band 2 (16–25h/week): hours 1–15 at 100%, hours 16–25 at 40%.
- Band 3 (26–35h/week): hours 1–15 at 100%, hours 16–25 at 40%, hours 26–35 at 30%.
Maximum commitment: 35 hours/week. Monthly invoices use 4.33 weeks/month.
Example — Senior Executive at €25/hr:
- 15h/week: 15 × €25 = €375
- 25h/week: (15 × €25) + (10 × €10.00) = €475
- 35h/week: (15 × €25) + (10 × €10.00) + (10 × €7.50) = €550
TRADE Contracts
If your work with Iguality represents 75% or more of your total income, we may propose a TRADE contract (Trabajador Autónomo Económicamente Dependiente) — a legal status that provides enhanced protections (regulated notice periods, dispute resolution) while maintaining your independent contractor status. If eligible, we will discuss this with you.
Overage & Ad-Hoc Work
- Overage (within the same month): if you deliver beyond your agreed weekly commitment, additional hours are billed at your pro-rated equivalent — monthly invoice ÷ (weekly hours × 4.33). Example: €1,039/month at 10h/week → €24.00/hr for any additional hours.
- Ad-hoc (no base contract): treated as a standalone week; the full band system applies from hour one. Example: 25 standalone hours → first 15h at 100%, next 10h at 40%.
Review & Updates
This policy is subject to periodic review to ensure it remains fair, competitive, and aligned with Iguality's growth. Any changes to compensation structures, bands, or Levels will be communicated transparently and discussed with affected team members well in advance.
