New Government Changes PASI (SPF) and Individual Document Attestations
PASI (Public Authority for Social Insurance) has changed its name to the Social Protection Fund (SPF), Royal Decree 52/2023. The aim is to enhance the social welfare framework by creating a single and unified social protection fund to improve financing and to provide a wide range of benefits to workers and families. To achieve this, all the pension funds are unifying under one system and the consequence is that system modifications may take up to another 3 months to complete. Invoices and receipts are now obtainable but employee changes such as salary reviews etc. are not.
