“Libro de Visitas” No Longer Obligatory in the Work Place

Business Owners , , , Sabrina L. Williams

After my supposed holidays (all business owner’s nightmare trying to get time off to clear the cobwebs away) and quarterly taxes this month, I am catching up on my writing so this article is reaching you a little later than it should.

Since last month, business owners no longer have the obligation to have the “Libro de visitas” or Work Inspection Book at their premises. This book is used by Work Inspectors for Social Security as they carry out their duties, checking the legalities of employees in the work place and up until recently, it was an obligatory material to have onsite either in its common paper format or in the newer digital version. Social Security have now seen fit to release business owners from this additional burden and forego the purchase of this book.

Justice is Served: Company Administrators Entitled to Reduced Social Security Contribution

Business Owners, General Spanish Regulations , , Sabrina L. Williams

Ever since the “big shake up” of 2013 when Social Security finally started to pay attention to business owners and decided to make it a little easier to set-up a business by reducing monthly contributions during the first 18 months, corporate administrators have demanded to be heard as said reductions did not apply to them.

What is a Dependent Sole-Trader?

Business Owners , , , , , , , Sabrina L. Williams

In this day and age with the way the economic situation is, it is not uncommon for business owners to insist that prospective employees register themselves as self-employed instead of giving them a work contract. There are some employment categories that simply won’t allow for this such as wait staff, chefs and similar but others facilitate this type of registry. What does it mean when somebody registers as self-employed but only has one “client”?

Social Security Error: Pension Pay Outs to the Deceased

Spanish News , , , , , , , , , Sabrina L. Williams

In a shock discovery by the Tribunal de Cuentas (Accounts Tribunal), it would appear that not even death is cause enough for Social Security to stop pension payments. It has been reported that in the year 2014, Social Security erroneously made monthly payments to some 29.321 persons who had already been registered by the Civil Registry as deceased. This means that an approximate sum of 25,2 million euros was paid out each month to the accounts of people who should obviously not be receiving it. The situation was not resolved by 2015 as 27.860 continued to be registered as pensioners on Social Security’s database.
