If you are an employee, we advise you to read a new publication of the General Union of Workers (UGT): the Temporary Incapacity Guide (IT). A very complete document that updates and includes all the requirements to apply for this Social Security benefit.
From the website of the General Union of Workers, we can access this useful guide and know all the administrative procedures that could derive from said situation of incapacity.
Basically, a Temporary Incapacity, also known as IT, is a daily subsidy that covers the worker’s loss of income when they are in one of these situations:
- Not being able to work because they are receiving health care due to a common illness or non-occupational accident, occupational disease, or work accident
- Being on sick leave due to being in a period of observation for an occupational disease.
Requirements and procedures on the Temporary Incapacity Guide
To receive this subsidy, you must meet a series of general and contribution requirements and also follow a formal procedure. The Temporary Incapacity Guide is a 52-page document that explains all these aspects:
- Rights and obligations in Temporary Incapacity
