Q & A

What is the annual bonus for those receiving pension benefits?

The annual bonus, also known as 'abono anual', is a 13th salary due to those receiving pension benefits, such as retirement or disability aid, but it is not due for those receiving family allowance or salary during the grace period without contributions to Social Security.

How does the non-contribution period affect the right to benefits?

The non-contribution period, such as when someone is unemployed or on a leave of absence, does not grant the right to benefits automatically. However, maintaining the status of an insured person during this period allows for benefits like sickness aid if needed.

What is the principle of irredutibility in the context of pension benefits?

The principle of irredutibility ensures that the value of pension benefits is at least adjusted to the real value, which means it should at least cover inflationary losses to maintain the purchasing power of the retiree.

What is the role of the National Consumer Price Index (IPC) in pension benefit adjustments?

The IPC is the official index used for adjusting pension benefits to ensure that retirees' purchasing power is maintained over time.

What is considered a typical work accident according to the script?

A typical work accident is one that occurs due to the exercise of the worker's usual activity, causing bodily injury or functional disturbance that results in death or permanent or temporary loss of work capacity.

How are occupational diseases differentiated from work-related diseases?

Occupational diseases are specific to certain professions and are caused by exposure to certain agents during the work performed. Work-related diseases, on the other hand, are not specific to the profession but occur due to the manner in which the work is carried out.

What are the situations that can be considered as equivalent to a work accident?

Situations that can be considered equivalent to a work accident include incidents occurring at work during work hours, as well as certain situations outside of work hours or location, such as when an employee is on a business trip or commuting to and from work.

What is the legal requirement for the communication of a work accident?

The law requires immediate communication of a work accident to the INSS, especially in cases of the insured person's death. If the employer does not communicate the accident, it can be done by the insured person, the attending physician, or the dependents.

How can a high number of work accidents affect a company's social contribution?

A high number of work accidents can increase a company's social contribution rate, known as the FAP, as it is an indicator of the company's safety and prevention measures.

What are the conditions for a work accident to be considered as such?

A work accident must result in temporary or permanent incapacity that affects the worker's labor capacity. Incidents that do not cause any work capacity reduction, such as a minor slip without consequences, are not considered work accidents.

What is the legal stability period for an employee after suffering a work accident?

The law guarantees a minimum stability period of 12 months after the cessation of the sickness aid due to a work accident, during which the employee cannot be dismissed without just cause.
