Workers who suffer an illness, injury or illness that makes it impossible for them to carry out their professional activity are forced to take a leave, the colloquial form of what is called what for official purposes is a temporary disability. This situation can be delayed over time, although the General Social Security Law establishes a maximum number of days and later the worker is obliged to reincorporate. In the event that he could not resume his activity, the process will begin to open a file of permanent disability.
As the name itself indicates, being a temporary disability, it lasts a maximum of 365 days.
