The Ministry of Labour, in answer to question no. 33/2013 made by the National Council of Labour Consultants, pointed out that when a "cause impediment" (referred to in table A attached to Ministerial Decree of October 24, 2007) the DURC (“Unique Document of Contribution Regularity”) is not released from the assessment date of the violation. In addition, the Ministry clarified that the suspension of regulatory and contributions benefits, under a "cause impediment", occurs from the expiration of the effectiveness term of 120 days of the Durc already obtained by the company.
