When should social security be quoted?

The obligation to quote social security begins when a worker starts his or her workactivity, regardless of wither starting an activity on his own or as an employed person. Thus, the contribution arises when the requirements that determine the inclusion in one of the regimes established in the corresponding system are given.

The obligation to quote Social Security it is maintained throughout the working periodin which a worker is active, even when the requirements of registration, affiliation, discharge and without prejudice to the four-year requirement for the requirement of non-compliance obligations have been breached.

It will also be mandatory to quote Social Security when a worker is in one of the following circumstances:

  • Temporary disability.
  • Maternity or paternity leave.
  • Risk during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Trial periods.
  • Performance of public duties.
  • Exercise of union representation charges.
  • Permits and licenses that do not result in leave at work.
  • Special conventions.
  • Contributory or welfare unemployment.
  • In cases that lay down the regulatory rules for each regime.

In the case of a person debtor who had complied within the time limit with the obligations inmatters of settlement of assessments, without having made his income within the regulatory period, or where he had issued a debt claim or settlement act against him, the General Treasury of Social Security may only demand such debt from another jointly and severally liable by claiming debt by referral.
