Statute overview

About this statute

Regulates how medical leave and fit-to-return certificates are issued, confirmed, and reviewed for temporary incapacity benefits. Health services, employers, and workers must exchange and file medical leave/return certificates within set deadlines, and employers may face sanctions if they do not comply. Doctors handling temporary incapacity checks must base them on the medical leave and confirmation records, plus later examinations and opinions. People who access the resulting data must keep professional secrecy and may not use the data to discriminate, harm the worker, or for other purposes. La gestión y el seguimiento de la prestación por incapacidad temporal corresponden a las Entidades Gestoras o a las Mutuas, que también pueden comprobar que sigan existiendo los hechos y la situación que dieron derecho al subsidio. Las entidades gestoras o mutuas pueden proponer el alta médica motivada; los servicios médicos deben responder en 10 días, y la inspección médica puede acordar el alta si no hay respuesta o hay discrepancia.
