Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Social Security
Spanish term or phrase: cotización
I know that normally this can normally mean variations of "subscription" or "share price" but in this context of Social Security, do others agree that it would be "contribution" or "payment", or is there another term I should be using. Any specialists out there, please?
"En los supuestos en que por razones de riesgo durante el embarazo o durante la lactancia natural, la trabajadora en virtud del artículo 26 de la Ley 31/1995 de 8 de Noviembre de prevención de riesgos laborales sea destinada a un puesto de trabajo o función diferente y compatible con su estado, se aplicará con respecto a las cuotas devengadas durante el periodo de permanencia en su nuevo puesto de trabajo o función, una reducción a cargo de la Seguridad Social del 50 % de la aportación empresarial en la cotización a la Seguridad Social por contingencias comunes."
Many thanks
