He College of Social Graduates of Catalonia has denounced that the new sick leave protocol for temporary disability is not working properly and the Social Security Accumulate delays of up to five days when notifying companies that the worker is sick. This was made public at a press conference held in Barcelona and in which the president of the entity, James Franceschand the vice president Montserrat Searchhave criticized the overload of paperwork and bureaucracy that the Administration has progressively placed on the figure of the social graduate.
The offices of social graduates are in charge, among others, of managing the procedures between companies and the Administration, making payrolls, notifying the termination of the contract to Social Security or the paperwork related to medical leave. In this last aspect, from the April 1st A regulation has entered into force through which the Government intends to modernize procedures and relieve workers of responsibilities.
Before, an employee who went to the doctor and the doctor gave him leave had a period of three days to formally notify the company that he was on temporary disability. Now this procedure is no longer mandatory and it is necessary for the Social Security, which within a period of three calendar days You must notify the company that the employee is on leave and will not be coming to work. The problem, as denounced by social graduates, is that these times are not met and Social Security ends up notifying corporations of the employee’s absence after four or five days.
This causes concern among the companies, since in that interregnum they do not know if the employee is effectively on leave or if his absence is due to disciplinary reasons. And it is that not showing up at the job for three days in a row can constitute grounds for termination. On many occasions, this delay is saved with informal communication between the worker and the company -a WhatsApp or a call-, but if that trust does not exist, it is when conflicts arise, according to the graduates.
“Imminent risk of collapse”
Social graduates, some 20,000 members throughout Spain and 2,200 of them in Catalonia, have warned of a “imminent risk of collapse” in their offices in the face of the progressive increase in the workload. Social graduates are in charge, among others, of remitting social contributions or personal income tax paid by companies and workers to the administration.
