Outline table: Responsible Declaration CPC, inactivity value communicated to the worker, (*) application of the exemption as detailed below.

Inactivities relating to the Responsible Declarations CPC 067 and 068 (under sections 1 and 2 of Article 2 of RDL.30/2020, as well as CPC 062 under section 2 of the first additional provision of RDL 30/2020): The exemption applies only for the periods and days the activity is suspended (ERTE).

For this reason:

(*1) Total suspension of activity:

B4 - B8 - C1: Exoneration part in ERTE suspension: 90% - 100%, depending on the number of employees in the company.

C7 - D2: Exoneration part in ERTE suspension: October 90% - 100%, November 80% - 90%, December 75% - 85%, January 70% - 80%, depending on the number of employees in the company.

(*2) Partial suspension of activity: 

B5 - B9 - C2: Exoneration part in ERTE suspension: 90% - 100%, depending on the number of employees in the company

C8 – D3: Exoneration part in ERTE suspension: October 90% - 100%, November 80% - 90%, December 75% - 85%, January 70% - 80%, depending on the number of employees in the company.

(*3) Full restart of activity: B6 - C3 - C9: No exemption

(*4) Partial restart of activity: 

B7: Exoneration part ERTE suspension: 90% - 100% depending on the number of employees in the company.

D1: Exoneration part in ERTE suspension: October 90% - 100%, November 80% - 90%, December 75% - 85%, January 70% - 80%, depending on the number of employees in the company.

Responsible declarations CPC 069, 070, 071, 072, 073 (based on the First Additional Provision of RDL 30/2020) and the inactivities corresponding to them: They are exempted during periods of suspension for the part and working day suspended and during periods of reactivation for the part worked.

The criterion upheld, as in previous RDLs regulating exemptions from employer contributions for ERTE, applies the exemptions for the part worked only in respect of workers who have returned to work.
Therefore, in the inactivity values (D5 – D9 - E2 – E6 - E8 – F3 – F5 – F9 – G2 – G6) identifying situations of partial ERTE, exoneration is only applicable in respect of the suspended part of the working day.

For this reason:

(*5) Full suspension: D4 – D8 - E1 – E5 – E7 – F2 – F4 – F8 – G1 – G5: Exoneration part in ERTE suspension: 75% - 85%, depending on the number of employees in the company.

(*6) Full restart: D6 – E3 – E9 – F6 – G3: Exemption of part worked, 75% - 85%, depending on the number of employees in the company.

(*7) Partial suspension: D5 – D9 - E2 – E6 - E8 – F3 – F5 – F9 – G2 – G6: The System only applies the exemption to the suspended activity part, 75% - 85%, depending on the number of workers in the company.

(*8) Partial restart: D7 – E4 – F1 – F7 – G4: The System applies the exemption to the suspended activity and the restarted part, 75% - 85%, depending on the number of workers in the company.

NEW VERSION OF SILTRA:
 
A new version of SILTRA(version 2.3.1) will be released tomorrow, 2 December.
Please remember that SILTRA will automatically update during delivery and no manual update is necessary. However, it will also be available for download from the software area of the RED System.
 
This version of SILTRA contains the new feature that both the installation and update software is signed with the digital certificate of the GISS (Social Security IT Management), which allows the user to verify the integrity and authenticity of the installation/update package.
 
This version also resolves the issues detected in version 2.3.0 related to printing (massive RNT printing by NAF, printing negative amount of RLC and error when printing RNT if the path has tildes).
 
Further information is available in the section Notas acerca de la versión 2.3.1. The Installation Manual has also been updated so that users know how to verify the source of the software.

CUTTING OF SERVICES

Please be informed that due to updates, the SLD  and RED Directo services will be closed from 30 November at 20.00 until 3 December at 12.00 hours.
 
This stoppage will not affect the receipt of contribution files, but will affect their processing. Files received after 20:00 today will not be processed, and a reply will therefore not be sent until 3 December.

CLARIFICATIONS ON TD/CHILDBIRTH/CHILDCARE AND ERTE SITUATIONS FOR THE SETTLEMENT PERIODS FROM OCTOBER 2020 TO JANUARY 2021

With the aim of clarifying and improving the management in situations of TD/childbirth/childcare and ERTE, regardless of their nature, for the settlement periods from October 2020 to January 2021 and onwards, the system will apply the following compatibility criteria:

Temporary Disability
For workers in a TD and ERTE situation, in general, the system makes the worker's contribution characteristics relating to ERTE and exoneration prevail, therefore:

• Worker in full ERTE that is followed by a TD situation:  The system will give preference to the characteristics relating to ERTE, suspension and, where appropriate, exoneration, over those relating to TD.
• TD worker that is followed by an ERTE situation:   The system gives preference to the characteristics relating to ERTE, suspension and, where appropriate, exoneration, when what is to be applied are only the characteristics of TD until its termination.  It is therefore necessary to request (*) the regularisation of the characteristics to eliminate those of ERTE and exoneration and apply those of TD until medical discharge, generating those of ERTE and, if applicable, exoneration after the end of the TD.
• In partial ERTE, the system will simultaneously apply the characteristics of ERTE and, if applicable, exoneration together with the characteristics of TD. 

Birth and childcare

• Full ERTE followed by full Maternity/Paternity leave:  The contribution characteristics of the ERTE worker and, if applicable, exemption, prevail.
• Full Maternity/Paternity leave followed by a full ERTE:  The system applies the characteristics of ERTE and, where appropriate, exemption, when childbirth and childcare should prevail. It is therefore necessary to request (*) the regularisation of the worker's contribution characteristics so that the characteristic for the childbirth and childcare is applied.
• Full ERTE followed by partial Maternity/Paternity leave:  The system would make the worker's contribution characteristics compatible, but the situation seems incongruous, so in this case, before reporting partial Maternity/Paternity leave, the employer should check with the bodies on which these benefits depend to see if they are appropriate.
• Partial Maternity/Paternity leave followed by a full ERTE:  The situations are compatible, and the system makes the worker's contribution characteristics compatible.
• Partial ERTE followed by full Maternity/Paternity leave:  It will be necessary to request (*) the regularisation of the worker's contribution characteristics to allow, where applicable, the exoneration of workers who access a full childbirth and childcare benefit from a partial ERTE situation.
• Full Maternity/Paternity leave followed by a partial ERTE situation:  In this case the characteristics of childbirth and childcare must prevail, which the system will apply.
• Partial ERTE followed by partial Maternity/Paternity leave:  The situations are compatible, and the system makes the worker's contribution characteristics compatible.
• Partial maternity/parental leave followed by partial ERTE:  The situations are compatible, and the system makes the worker's contribution characteristics compatible.

(*) The request for regularisation of the worker's contribution characteristics in the aforementioned cases will be made by the authorised RED via the RED Online System, registering a Case in the Authorised Person's Assistance Service (CASIA). As Case Type select "Process", as Subject select "Registration and Deregistration of Active Contributor Status", as Category select "Change workers employed by another person details", as Subcategory select "ERTE-Special Situations and 406".

It should also be noted that the Social Security Treasury General (TGSS) can only provide information on the obligation to present the contribution, either by the employer or the employee, when this presentation is the responsibility of the employer. Queries regarding the payment of benefits to the worker and/or the presentation of the corresponding contribution, when these are not paid by the employer, either due to temporary incapacity, childbirth and childcare or ERTE, should be addressed to the bodies on which these benefits depend.

The RED News Bulletin 18/2020 is now available in the RED news area. It contains the following items:

In the RED Authorised Person Service, CASIA (Coordination, Attention and Integral Support for the RED Authorised Person), the documentation relating to the RED Authorisation Management Procedures has been updated in the CASIA Procedures Documentation and the Technical Matters case form section .

The updated documentation relates to the following procedures:

• Application for Change of Transmission Medium.
• Application for Change of Main User of a RED Authorisation.
• Application for Change of Type of RED Authorisation.
• Application for Change of Address of RED Authorisation.
• Application for Change of Company Name of a RED Authorisation.

In the documents for each procedure, there is a link to the appropriate form to make the corresponding application.

The Usage manual for the CASIA service has also been updated and is published on the Social Security website at the following address: Useful Information/RED/CASIA system: Coordination, Attention and Integral Support to the RED Authorised Person/Manuals and Dissemination.

As a continuation of what is indicated in BNR 17/2020, of 25 August, on the waiver of the exemptions in the company contribution established for the COVID ERTEs due to the company having opted to distrIbute dividends, and the requirement of the annotation of the CONTRIBUTION CHARACTERISTIC CAUSE CPC 064 in the complementary file of accounts, we inform that, to simplify the management, a process will be carried out daily from day 2 that will automatically register CPC 064 in ALL CCCs associated as main-secondary of the CCC that currently had it mechanised, as long as these CCCs have the same NIF.

This new process will make it unnecessary to communicate the waiver individually for each of the company's CCCs, and it will be sufficient to request it through CASIA for the main CCC. The waiver shall be understood to have been made with respect to all the associated CCCs that have the same NIF. Only in the event that there are secondary CCCs with a different tax number than the main CCC, must an individualised waiver request for each CCC with a different tax number be submitted through CASIA.

In line with this change, the CASIA waiver form FC.064has been amended.

We inform you that CASIA services will be closed today due to technical problems, we are sorry for the inconvenience.

The RED News Bulletin 17/2020 is now available in the RED news area. It contains the following items:

Users will be able to send/download files but will not be able to obtain responses until the service – and therefore the processing of the files – is restored.

This shutdown will not affect the online SLD and RED Directo services, which will remain operational.

New controls have been implemented in the RED Authorised Person Service, CASIA (Coordination, Attention and Integral Support for the RED Authorised Person) aimed at guaranteeing the quality of the additional data communicated, thus avoiding the opening of cases with insufficient or erroneous information that require new information be requested, implying a delay in their resolution.

The controls established are based on the obligation to fill in certain additional data depending on the type of case, subject, category and sub-category, the correspondence between them and the format validations. In addition, in cases of type "Process", a single line will be displayed to report additional data, so that the automatic filing of the documentation in the electronic file corresponding to the CCC/NAF is made possible.

To consult the additional data that must be reported in each case, you can consult the Manual para la utilización del servicio CASIA published on the Social Security website at  the following path: Useful Information/RED/CASIA System: Coordination, Attention and Integral Support to the RED Authorised Person/Manuals and Dissemination. However, it is recommended that as much data as possible be provided.

The RED News Bulletin 15/2020 is now available in the RED news area. It contains the following items:

• Royal Decree-Law 24/2020: Title I - II - Social agreement in defence of employment: social measures to reactivate employment
• Royal Decree-Law 24/2020: Article 4.1. Responsible declarations and communications.
• Notification of the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate in relation to company obligations linked to COVID-19 ERTEs.

For self-employed workers who are still protected by the economic benefit for temporary disability with the INSS, the Tenth Additional Provision of Royal Decree-Law 15/2020 establishes a three-month period from the end of the State of Emergency to opt for a collaborating Mutual Society, which will end on 21 September 2020. This change from INSS to Mutual Society shall take effect from 1 November 2020.

To make it possible to opt for a collaborating Mutual Society under the terms indicated, the Service already available on the RED System has been adapted to request the annual change of coverage in the RETA. This adaptation will allow the Service indicated to be used both to request a change of Mutual Society for a different one for the following year, and to proceed with the option for a Mutual Society by the self-employed person who is with the INSS, with the System itself, in both cases, automatically assigning the effective date as follows:

• Where the self-employed person to whom the change request refers is included in the FGA with the Mutual Society as 777 (INSS), the System will assign 1 November 2020 as the effective date of the option.
• Where the self-employed person to whom the change request refers is registered in the FGA with a Mutual Society other than 777 (INSS), the date of the change will automatically be 1 January 2021.
  

As the state of emergency decreed in RD 463/2020 ended on 21 June, the National Social Security Institute  will, as of 1 July, once again summon workers for medical examinations when it is foreseeable that 365 days of TD may be exceeded, in exercising the powers attributed in Art. 170.2 of the Consolidated Text of the General Law on Social Security.

Where the exercising of the powers set out in the aforementioned article agrees to extend the TD or prolong the effects of the TD, the obligation to make the delegated payment of the TD benefit shall cease under the terms set out in the notification made for this purpose.

Where workers who are currently receiving the TD benefit in a delegated payment in a process of more than 365 days as a result of the TD extension decisions issues being suspended during the state of emergency, they must remain in the same situation until the end of the TD process.

A new error has been created for the rejection of TD reports in the RED system. The wording of this new error is: "155 INCORRECT CONTINGENCY".

It will be returned where the intention is to transmit a TD report whose contingency does not match the one held at that time in the Social Security databases.

This error has been in operation since 8 June.

In the design of the INSSEMPRESAS (FIE) file, the wording of field 1170 has been modified to become: SPS, MCSS, INSS, RED with possible values: S or blank space.

In this field, the cancellations of sick leave reports made by the Public Health Services, the MCSS, the INSS or via the RED system shall be communicated. Possible values shall be "S" (when the deregistration report has been cancelled) or blank. The cancellation of this sick leave report will mean that the TD process, whose date of sick leave is indicated in field 1020, will be eliminated from the INSS database.
