The base figure of unemployment benefit is used to calculate the amount of that provision, while the basis of contribution for common contingencies is that the public employment service Estatal (SEPE) takes into account for contributions during the period may receive unemployment benefits.

The base figure of unemployment benefit is derived by calculating the average basic contribution by the contingency of unemployment for the past 180 days worked, taking into account the calendar days of each month ( 30 on november, 31 on december...).

In the case of termination, the basis of Social insurance payments will be the same as the base figure for the provision.

In the case of regulation of employment of temporary suspension of the employment relationship or reduced working hours, the basis of Social insurance payments during the perception of the provision of those workers due to the existence of legal obligation to contribute, will be equivalent to average of the foundations of the past six months of occupation quoted for common contingencies and occupational accidents and occupational diseases prior to the legal situation of unemployment or at the time of the end of the legal obligation to pay contributions.

During the suspension of the employment contract or reduced working hours, the company is obliged to enter the corporate contribution of Social insurance payments.
