The rest of the leave weeks can be distributed at the employee's discretion; therefore, this time frame is directly linked with Add period, since the rest of the absence time (by law, up to the first year of the baby's life, in full weeks) will be reflected in this section.
• Daily forced regulatory base: in this field, you can specify the worker's contribution base, to be considered for the calculation of disability and the resulting delegated payment. It can be forced daily (for example, if there are no records from previous months), by entering the corresponding amount in euros.
