Management of Temporary Disability due to Common Contingencies

At FREMAP, we are there to help you if you suffer from a common illness or injuries from a non-work-related accident and are unable to work, actively collaborating with the public health service (SPS) and using our own resources in your recovery:

  • Medical appointment and consultation from the receipt of the report.
  • Evaluation and monitoring by our healthcare staff.
  • Request for diagnostic tests to expedite treatments.
  • Telephone or in-person consultations depending on the situation.
  • Motivated proposals for discharge in coordination with the SPS and the INSS.

Thanks to the FREMAP Contigo website/app, you can find out about your appointments, diagnoses, access your medical history, medical tests, download reports and electronic prescriptions at any time. 

If your primary care physician has issued you a sick leave certificate, we are responsible for the financial benefit for this temporary incapacity, and the amount you are entitled to is:

 

Days on sick leave Amount of the benefit Responsible for the benefit
Days 1 to 3 There is no benefit  
Days 4 to 15 60% of the regulatory base Company
Days 16 to 20 60% of the regulatory base Mutual Society
From day 21 until the end of the benefit 75% of the regulatory base Mutual Society

 

Days on sick leave Amount of the benefit Responsible for the benefit
Days 1 to 3 There is no benefit  
Days 4 to 8 60% of the regulatory base Employer
Days 9 to 20 60% of the regulatory base Mutual Society
From day 21 until the end of the benefit 75% of the regulatory base Mutual Society

This financial benefit is paid directly by FREMAP in these situations:

  • Termination of the employment relationship or suspension in the case of fixed-term intermittent workers (while you are on sick leave, you will receive the same amount that corresponds to you for unemployment and you will consume unemployment time).
  • The benefit payment is not received from the company.
  • Having exhausted the 545-day period of sick leave.
  • This refers to a worker who is legally excluded from receiving this payment from their company, such as, for example:
    • Trade Representatives
    • Artists
    • Bullfighting professionals
    • Agricultural workers
    • Domestic workers (from the 9th day of leave)
    • Workers in groups 2 and 3 of the Special Regime for Seafarers.
    • Being on furlough/temporary layoff
    • Being in a situation of partial retirement.
    • A relapse occurs while unemployed.
