What this document is

“Certificado de empresa” is the official form of Spain’s State Public Employment Service (SEPE). In it the employer confirms its own details, the worker’s details, the reason the job ended, was suspended or reduced, and the contribution bases for the last 180 days.

According to the form itself, it proves the legal situation of unemployment (situación legal de desempleo) and determines the amount of the benefit. False data is penalised under Real Decreto Legislativo 5/2000.

Who files it and where

  • the employer — a company or an individual the person worked for — fills it in and signs it;
  • according to the form, companies send this data to SEPE through the Certific@2 application (Orden TIN/790/2010) on the day the job ends or, at the latest, the day after the worker asks for it;
  • if the data was sent through Certific@2, the worker does not need to attach the certificate to the benefit claim; if not, the paper certificate goes with the claim to SEPE;
  • check the procedure for your case with SEPE.

What the form asks for

  • who signs and in what position;
  • employer: name, Social Security scheme, contribution account code (CCC), address, business activity (CNAE);
  • worker: full name, DNI or NIE, Social Security number, contribution group, contract type and duration, occupation, start date;
  • distribution of working days — part-time contracts only;
  • reason code and wording from the 01–35 table on the back, termination or suspension dates, ERTE number and reduction percentages;
  • monthly contribution bases for the last 180 days and unused paid holidays.

What to have at hand

  • recent payslips (nóminas) — the days and contribution bases come from them;
  • the employment contract and the dismissal or end-of-contract document;
  • the contribution account code (CCC) and the employer’s Social Security registration details;
  • the worker’s DNI or NIE and Social Security number.

Frequently asked questions

Who fills in the certificado de empresa — the worker or the employer?

The employer: it signs the certificate and is responsible for the data. The worker may prepare a draft, but the employer signs.

Is a paper certificate needed if the employer used Certific@2?

No. According to SEPE, if the employer sent the data through Certific@2, the worker is exempt from attaching the certificate.

How soon must the employer send the certificate data to SEPE?

According to the form, through Certific@2 on the day the job ends, is suspended or reduced or, in any case, the day after the worker asks for it.

Where do I find the reason code?

In the 01–35 code table on the back of the form. For example, 11 is the end of a fixed-term contract and 21 is voluntary resignation.

Where do the contribution bases come from?

From payslips for the 180 days before the job ended: one row per month with year, month, days and the unemployment contribution base.

Why is the TOTAL row left empty?

In the original PDF the sum was calculated by an Acrobat script. FoxDocs does not enter a calculated total: add up the rows and write it by hand.

Is the form used for an ERTE?

Yes, the form covers suspension and reduction under an ERTE: code 17 or 18, the ERTE number, the percentage and the dates.
