All companies and self-employed workers with employees governed by the collective bargaining agreement for the construction industry in Barcelona and in any other province in Spain must make monthly contributions to a sectoral employment pension plan on behalf of their employees, as set forth in the new general collective bargaining agreement for the sector, which was published on September 23, 2023 in the Official State Gazette (BOE).<\/span><\/p>

Article 56 of the VII General Collective Bargaining Agreement for the construction sector, in its article 56, agrees the formalization at state level of <\/span>a simplified employment pension plan in the construction sector<\/b>, under the terms and conditions set forth in Book Three of the agreement.<\/span><\/p>

This Third Book transcribes the Regulation of Specifications of the Pension Plan for the Construction Sector and, among other things, considers that all companies, both individuals and legal entities, included in the scope of the VII CGS, with hired workers are promoter entities and defines the participants as any worker linked to any of the promoter entities to which the VII CGSC is applicable.<\/span><\/p>

The National Construction Confederation (CNC), CC.OO. del Habitat and UGT-FICA have chosen VidaCaixa for the management of this Simplified Employment Pension Plan for the Construction Sector, so this entity will be the only one to manage this pension plan.<\/span><\/p>

VidaCaixa through the Pension Fund “Pensions Caixa 112, F.P” has admitted the integration of the Simplified Employment Pension Plan for the Construction Sector on February 1, 2024.<\/span><\/p>

  1. Access the VidaCaixa Aporta+ portal and register as a user:\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li>
  2. Register in the Pension Plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  3. Register all your employees, whether they are entitled to have contributions.<\/span><\/li>
  4. Make the contributions established in the amount established in the applicable provincial collective bargaining agreement.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    Steps 2, 3 and 4 cannot be carried out on the same day, since at least 24 hours must elapse between them, as the data collected in the promoter and employee registrations must be validated.<\/span><\/p>
