As of April 1, it will not be the workers who must deliver to the company the medical reports related to temporary disability leave, either due to common illness or non-work accident. With the entry into force of Royal Decree 1060/2022, a new communication system is established in which the doctor will deliver a copy to the patient and send another electronically to the National Social Security Institute, which will be the one that provides the information to the company.
To expedite the processing of the parties (both cancellation and confirmation or registration), the new system will also reduce the information that the public health services and mutual societies must include in the reports. From now on, it will be enough for doctors to fill in the field corresponding to the job with the information provided by the worker himself.
This information will then be contrasted with the data provided by the company, which must also provide Social Security with the rest of the information previously provided by the doctor, such as their National Occupational Classification (CNO) and the description of the functions performed by the worker. and details of your job. In addition, you have the obligation to send, within a maximum period of three business days and through the RED System, the economic data of the medical leave, although later it will no longer be necessary to do the same with the confirmation and discharge data.
All this information will be available in the company file of the National Institute of Social Security and will also be accessible through the electronic headquarters of the Social Security.
Household employees
When the company does not have an obligation to join the RED System, communications will be made by ordinary mail and by SMS. In this way, domestic workers will not have to make these communications directly to their employers either; When you start a medical leave, it will be the Social Security who will notify the employer through a message to the mobile phone and a letter, also giving you the possibility of consulting all the information on the Importass website.
