How to get out of work life

<>

There are times when, as a worker, you may be in doubt as to whether a company has registered your contract. Or you want to know how many years you have been contributing to Social Security. All of this is obtained through Working life REPORT.

Not many know that this faith in work life can be drawn in many different ways. And that is what we are going to clarify for you today because, although in the past you could only have access to it by going personally to a Social Security office, now you have more facilities and methods to achieve it.

What is the certificate of working life?

The work life certificate, also known as work life report, It is a document that reflects the companies that have hired us, the type of contract that they have made, the hours quoted and the total period that we have been "active" for Social Security.

In fact, it is a very important document because it helps you establish how many years you have been contributing and, facing retirement, you will be able to know if you have the right to a pension or, on the contrary, you should contribute more time to receive it.

In spite of everything, it also has another function, and that is to verify that the company you work for has indeed registered you as a worker, that your contract is active and that it also corresponds to what you have signed. Otherwise, you can claim that this contract appears (that does not come out does not mean that your company has not registered you in Social Security, it may happen that there is a delay of several days or weeks, that it has been lost in Social Security , etc.).

What data does work life contain?

A working life certificate contains several important data for an employee, already be por cuenta propia o por cuenta ajena. Y es que en él encontrarás:

• The companies that have hired you. Or, in the case of self-employed, it will say that you have registered as a self-employed person in the RETA (Special Regime for Self-Employed).
• Unemployment. Yes, unemployment also contributes to employees, therefore you can see it reflected in this certificate.
• The date of registration with Social Security, whether you are an employee or self-employed, will come on the day you registered, and must coincide with the day that comes in your contract.
• The termination date, especially in those companies for which you no longer work or contracts that have already expired.
• Type of employment contract, if it is indefinite, temporary, partial ...

In any case, it will also carry other data (such as personal ones) as well as explanatory notes that can help you to know what each entry corresponds to.

Ways to get out of work life

The work life report no longer requires the person who wants it to go to a Social Security office. You can continue to do this, but there are also other methods that streamline all procedures. Do you pretend to know them?

In person

We will start by talking about taking work life in person, in other words, in person and going to a Social Security office.

This requires, in several cases, that Make an appointment, since you run the risk that, when you go, there will be none and you will have to waste time that day, at the same time as the time you have for the appointment. In spite of everything, in other offices the process of the work life certificate does not need an appointment.

Eso sí, eso no quiere decir que vaya a estar por llegar y que te atiendan. Lo más seguro es que deberás de esperar, y puede ser bastante tiempo, dependerá de la cantidad de funcionarios y persons frente a ti.

By phone

If going to the office is difficult for you, why not use the phone? Today you have a phone number with which you can get a working life certificate.

For this:

• Call the number 901 50 20 50. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 in the morning to 7 in the afternoon. In principle, you will be attended by a recording and a system that will recognize your voice and interpret what you want.
• The work life report is option 4 (if they do not change it). So when it asks you what you want to do, choose that option.
• Later they will ask you for some personal information, such as your ID (or passport), your address and postal code, name and surname, and Social Security number. You will have to give them to them over the phone.
• El paso siguiente es seleccionar el reporte que desea, puesto que hay varias opciones. Por una parte, tienes el reporte de toda tu vida laboral (que es el más recomendado), y después lo puedes acotar para que solo te sea entregado en determinadas fechas o con otros filters.
• Finally, we will just have to wait, since this report is not immediate, but will be sent to you by mail and it can take between one and two weeks.

Online through Social Security

Another alternative you have to get out of work life is to use the Internet and Electronic headquarters of the Social Security. Actually, today it is the most effective and fastest, at the same time giving you different ways of doing it. Here I leave them all:

With PIN Cl @ ve

In case you have the PIN, there is not much problem because it will redirect you to the password gateway where you must select an identification method (electronic ID, cl @ ve pin, permanent cl @ ve). In the last two cases you need to be registered. If you give the PIN code, you will need your ID, your effective date, and have an application on your smartphone that is where they send you a code to activate the password (Approximately 10 minutes).

No certificate

When you do not have a certificate, nor do you want to do it with any of the other options, what you can do is give the option of obtaining the report without the need for a certificate.

In this case, you will be able to fill in your personal information: name, surname, ID, address, security number, email ... and the certificate will be sent to your address by postal mail. But beware it will take between one and two weeks.
