It is possible to report the admission of employees working for an employer under the General Social Security Scheme via the employee record electronically through Segurança Social Direta or the employee registration service on the Interoperability Platform. This service allows you to report employment relationships for new employees working as self-employed contractors outside the General Scheme and on very short-term contracts.
When using the employment registration service, you can notify the authorities of the employee’s admission directly from the ERP system when creating the employee’s file, without needing to access Segurança Social Direta. This avoids inconsistencies, as it brings together the registration and reporting of the new employee on a single platform.
Conditions
To report the admission of employees to Social Security via the employee record, you must carry out the following steps:
1. Specify type of scheme
If you are an employee with Employment Statuswhich is Temporary (and not part-time), you must select the Temporary employee option under Human Resources | Salaries and fees | Resources | Tables |Employee data | Staff types.
2. Specify working hours
You must specify whether the employee works part-time or full-time using the Working Hours Regime available in the Employee File|Schedules.
3. Set employment status
Specify the employment type associated with the Employee Record, in the Current Employment Type field on the Contract tab. In addition to those mentioned above, the following options are also available:
- Intermittent work;
- Very short-term work;
- Teleworking;
- Secondment.
4. Enter the type of contract to be reported
By cross-referencing the previous information, the system will automatically populate the field Contract type to be reported available in the Protection schemes tab of the Employee Record with one of the following values:
- A - Permanent, Full-time
- B - Permanent, Part-time
- C - Intermittent, Full-time
- D - Intermittent work, part-time
- E - Fixed-term, full-time
- F - Fixed-term, part-time
- G - Open-ended, Full-time
- H - Open-ended, Part-time
- I - Very Short-term Work
- J - Teleworking, Full-time
- K - Teleworking, Part-time
- L - Secondment, full-time
- M - Secondment, part-time
- N - Fixed-term, work Temporary, Part-time
- O - Fixed-term, Work. Temporary, Full-time
- P - Open-ended, Work. Temporary, Part-time
- Q - Open-ended, Work. Temporary, Full-time
- R - Indefinite period, Work. Temporary, Part-time
- S - Indefinite period, Work. Temporary, Full-time
To do this, click on the button with the two-gear icon next to the Contract Typefield. Subsequently, one of the following scenarios occurs:
Scenario 1:
If the system is unable to determine the contract type due to a lack of necessary information or if it disagrees with the suggested type, you may complete it mannually to classify the employee correctly.
Scenario 2:
Regardless of whether you have filled it in manually or automatically, when you click Save on the employee record, the system will ask whether you wish to report the employment relationship on the Social Security Interoperability Platform. and request access credentials (if you have not yet logged in):
- If you select Yes, you will be asked to register the employment relationship with Social Security, which will then display a message showing the result of that request. If the entry is successful, this information is recorded in the Communication date field on the Protection schemes tab of the employee’s file;
- If you click on No, the notification is not sent, but it is still possible to notify the Social Security of the employee’s appointment, via the Notify option in the Employee record, under the Protection Schemestab.
5. Enter employment status for Social Security
In this regard, you should specify the employee’s employment status within the Social Security Institution.
If the type of work to be reported is Part-time teleworking, the contract must be reported via Segurança Social Direta.
History
All attempts to register the link are recorded, and via the History option, you can view:
- How many registration attempts were made;
- On what date and at what time did they occur;
- Which user made the request;
- Which method was used;
- What was the result and the relevant details.
Report Employment Relationship with Job Classification
To report the admission of employees, the Report Employment Relationship with Job Classification service will be used.
In this type of admission/readmission notification, the Social Security Department requests a set of additional information regarding the employee and the contract:
Additional information about the employee(s)
In addition to the data already provided (Date of admission, Contract end date, NISS, Name, Contract type, Place of work – Social Security Establishment Identification Code, depending on the Establishment associated with the employee), the following is also required:
1. Date of birth: defined in the Date of birth field on the Identification tab of the employee record.
2. Occupation: field code Unique Report Code from the "Occupations" table, based on the occupation associated with the Employee record (field Profession in the Prof. Information tab).
3. Basic pay: the value of the Monthly Salary field in the Payroll tab of the employee’s record.
4. Length of service: value of the Monthly seniority field in the Processing tab of the employee record. This information is only displayed if the field has been filled in correctly;
5. Social Security Number (NISS) of the employee being replaced: this corresponds to the Social Security Number of the employee being replaced by the new employee whose admission is being reported.
In the new employee’s record, in the Replaced Employee field on the Contract tab, you must specify which employee the new employee is replacing; in this case, the NISS associated with the replaced employee’s record must be provided;
This field must be completed when the reason selected for recruitment corresponds to:
- Direct or indirect replacement of an absent worker or one who, for any reason, is unable to work;
- Direct or indirect replacement of an employee in respect of whom a dismissal actionis pending in court;
- Replacement of an employee on unpaid leave;
- Replacement of a full-time employee who is beginning to work part-time for a fixed period.
If this field is left blank, an error will occur when submitting this data.
Additional information for part-time contracts
It is mandatory to provide a series of details relating to part-time contracts, i.e. when the option Part-time is selected in the Duration Type field of the "Duration Regimes" table, namely:
1. Percentage of working hours
This corresponds to the percentage of working hours in relation to the normal weekly periodfull-time. It is calculated as follows:
Total weekly hours of the working hours schedule associated with the employee’s record in force on the date of admission / Weekly hours defined in IRTx100 (%)
2. Working hours
This corresponds to the number of weekly working hours scheduled. This is calculated based on the working hours in force on the date of admission, and the hours are calculated on a weekly basis.
3. Working days
This corresponds to the number of working days scheduled for a month. It is calculated as follows:
Total working hours based on the working hours in force on the date of admission divided by 5 days.
It should be noted that if the daily average is:
- equal to or greater than 6 hours, the days worked are reported on the basis of 30 days;
- less than 6 hours, the total hours for a 30-day month are calculated and one day is declared for each block of 6 hours.
Additional information for fixed-term contracts
In the case of fixed-term contracts, it is mandatory to provide the specific reason code for admission to the Soc. Security.
To indicate that a contract is a fixed-term contract, the option Fixed-term or Indefinite-term must be selected in the Type field of the "Contract Type" table. In v9, this corresponds to the Current Employment Type field on the Contract tab of the employee’s record.
This automatically populates the Code field. Soc. Security from the "Reasons for Admission" table via a mapping carried out for each of the existing reasons for admission:
