TA.2/S-0138 — hiring, termination or change of data for a domestic worker

TA.2/S-0138 is the official form of Spain’s General Treasury of Social Security (TGSS) for the Special System for Domestic Employees. A private person who employs a cleaner, nanny, carer or gardener in their own home uses it to register the worker with Social Security (alta), deregister them (baja) or report changes to hours, pay or contract type (variación).

• the employer — a private individual (persona empleadora) — files it; both the employer and the worker sign;
• the alta must be processed before work starts and no more than 60 days in advance; it is the employer’s duty, as is paying contributions;
• the worker needs a Social Security number (NAF/NUSS) and the employer a contribution account code (CCC) for domestic employment; without them, file TA.1 and TA.6-0138 first;
• file at an Administración de la Seguridad Social or online via Import@ss, which also handles alta, baja and changes; a baja must be reported within 3 calendar days after the job ends.

• worker: surnames, name, NSS, date of birth, NIF/NIE/passport, address, phone and e-mail;
• type of request (alta, baja, variación), date and reason; on termination, the end date of paid untaken holiday;
• employer: surnames, name, NSS, ID document, CCC, address of the home where the work takes place, contacts;
• work and pay: hours per week and month (full time is 160 hours a month), contract code, hourly and monthly pay, pay in kind, presence and overnight hours;
• on hiring: care for a large family and degree of kinship between the parties;
• bank account (IBAN) and debit mandate for contributions; address for notifications.

• NIF, NIE or passport of the employer and the worker — the form lists them as mandatory;
• a Spanish bank account: contributions are paid only by direct debit, so the account is mandatory;
• if the account is not in the employer’s name, the account holder’s details and signature.

If the application is incomplete, TGSS gives 10 days to correct it. The form sets a maximum of 45 days for a decision; without a reply in that time the application may be deemed approved.

1. Tell the chat in any language whom you are hiring or letting go, from which date, the hours and the pay.
2. The assistant fills the boxes in capitals, splits dates into boxes and the IBAN into 22 cells, ticks the boxes and repeats NSS, CCC and the date on the receipt.
3. Download the PDF, check it, print it, sign it together and file it with TGSS.
