Did you know?
- The Spanish word tiempo shares a common ancestor with the English word 'temperature'. Both derive from the Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'to stretch'.
- In Spain, the right to tiempo libre is heavily regulated by collective bargaining agreements, meaning the amount of paid leave varies wildly by industry rather than just by company.
- The word remunerado comes from the Latin 'munus', meaning a 'gift' or 'duty', suggesting that payment is a return for a service rendered.

- Solicito permiso por asuntos personales el día XI request personal time off on X day.
