Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. Wage earners covered by the Special Agrarian Social Security system, and the employers they work for, are integrated into the General Social Security system. The same applies to workers who do farm work in the future.
  2. It creates the Special System for Agrarian Wage Earners, where contributions are paid both during periods of activity and periods of inactivity. To stay in the system during inactivity, workers need at least 30 real work days within 365 consecutive days.
  3. If casual or discontinuous permanent workers are hired on the same day they start working, the registration can be filed until 12 noon that day, if it was not possible earlier.
  4. During periods of activity, contributions follow the General system rules, with a 28.30% rate for common contingencies. During inactivity, only the worker contributes, on the minimum base of group 7 and at an 11.50% rate.
  5. During periods of activity, the employer is responsible for paying contributions and deducts the worker's share from their pay. During inactivity, the worker is the responsible party.
  6. Contributions already paid to the old Special Agrarian system count as paid into the General system, both to qualify for benefits and to calculate their amount.

Who it affects

  • Agrarian wage earners: They move into the General Social Security system and join a special system with contributions also during inactive periods.
  • Agrarian employers: They also join the General system and are responsible for paying contributions during periods of activity.
  • Casual farm workers in Andalusia and Extremadura: They keep access to the farm subsidy or farm income benefit under the rules of the third additional provision.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
