Consequently, the Social Security has approved a decree that requires all companies, regardless of sector, to submit additional information about their workers' tasks before February. The Elma Saiz department aims to gain a clearer understanding of the specific tasks undertaken in order to consider the retirement petition requests for the construction sector and other industries.
