Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. Employment contracts signed by ONCE (the Spanish organization of blind people) with workers with disabilities will get a 100% discount on the employer's Social Security contributions, including those for workplace accidents and occupational illnesses. The same applies when a temporary contract becomes permanent.
  2. Workers in the agri-food sector who stopped working from May to July 2011 because of the E.coli bacteria crisis can sign a special agreement with the General Treasury of Social Security for those days not worked. The State Public Employment Service pays the contribution directly.
  3. Salaried farm workers who meet the requirements can request a refund of contributions paid for the periods of inactivity from May to July 2011, or registration in the agricultural census for those months. There are also unemployment measures, such as not using up the duration of the benefit or making it easier to get the farm subsidy with a minimum of 20 contributions days.
  4. Both the ONCE discounts and the measures for the E.coli crisis are paid from the budget of the State Public Employment Service. The rule takes effect on the day of publication, although the discounts have economic effect from January 1, 2012.

Who it affects

  • Workers with disabilities hired by ONCE: Their contracts qualify for a 100% discount on employer Social Security contributions.
  • Agri-food sector workers affected by the E.coli crisis: They can sign a special agreement with Social Security for the days not worked, paid by the State Public Employment Service.
  • Salaried workers under the Special Agricultural System: They can request a refund of contributions or registration in the agricultural census for the inactive months of May to July 2011.
  • People who received unemployment benefits or subsidies because of that crisis: The duration of the benefit may not be used up, or access to the farm subsidy may be made easier.
  • ONCE: It gets the contribution discount as long as it is up to date on its Social Security payments.

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.
