When is 100% of the sick leave charged?

Either by suffering from disease or for suffering a accidentone of the issues that most concern workers when a medical leave is issued is the collection of salary.

Since the worker you will not be able to perform your job during the time As the Public Health Service (SNS) deems appropriate, the amount of financial benefit received while on sick leave varies depending on various parameters. In the same way, it will be the company itself or the Social Security Who should pay these amounts?

– When the loss is due to a common illness or a non-work accident, 60% of the regulatory base will be received between the fourth and the twentieth day. After the 20th day of sick leave, 75% of the salary will be received. In this case, the amount to be received is obtained by dividing the contribution base for common contingencies of the worker for the month prior to the date of leave by the number of days to which said contribution corresponds.

-In cases of temporary disability due to occupational disease or work accident 75% of the regulatory base is charged from the day after the withdrawal. In this other case, the amount to be received is obtained by dividing the worker’s contribution base for professional contingencies for the month prior to the date of leave by the number of days to which said contribution corresponds.

Leaves due to common illness or non-work accident must be paid by businessmen during the first days of sick leave (between the fourth and fifteenth day of sick leave, both inclusive), and from then on the payment is the responsibility of the National Institute of Social Security or the Mutual Company collaborating with Social Security.

On the other hand, leave due to professional illness or work accident must be assumed by the company.

The reason is that, by virtue of what is established in them, the amounts to be received can be increased (even reaching that 100%), as well as the collection periods of this temporary disability benefit.
