New Handling of Taxes and Social Insurance for Workers at Sea

Scope of Functions

As of release 4.6A, the HRMS Spanish Country Version will be enhanced with the new handling of the specific requirements of workers at sea related both to taxes and Social Insurance. This new handling complies with Spanish Law as described in the document 'Régimen General de los Trabajadores del Mar'.

The new functionality covers the following requirements of workers at sea:

• Assignment: The personnel management part of the Spanish Country Version now allows to assign workers at sea to a special personnel area/subarea (in this case 'Régimen General de los Trabajadores del Mar' or 'Registro Canario').

• Taxes: The tax calculation now includes the reductions to which workers at sea adscribed to the 'Regimen Económico y Fiscal de Canarias' are entitled.

• Social Insurance: The Social Insurance calculation now includes the reductions to which workers at sea are entitled.

• Evaluations: The special SI forms required by workers at sea (models TC 1/16 and TC 2/5) are now available as part of the range of Social Insurance forms for Spain. The new forms are suitable for magnetic data interchange according to the specific requirements of the Sistema RED both for TC2 messages (S.I. contributions) and AFI messages (hiring, termination, changes of contract, etc.).
