Spanish term or phrase: una incapacidad expedida por el Seguro Social
Si durante el periodo de vacaciones el empleado llegara a tener una incapacidad expedida por el Seguro Social, estos días no impactarán su saldo de vacaciones.

Is this referring to disability benefit? And am a little unsure as to what 'estos dias' refers - days taken off as a result of disability?

Many thanks :)

agree  Marsha Way: Right, and "estos días" refers to the days the person was sick over vacation (which really sucks!)In Mexico at least, if you have "sick leave" during holiday or on a weekend, you get that many days off at the end of the break or weekend.

disability (certification) by the Social Security


Explanation:
I believe they are referring to a SS dictum. The days of disability, do not affect the regular vacation days.

There are regular benefits for sick days and the long term disability benefit that, if prolonged, it is paid by Social Security. These days should not affect vacation days.

a 8sick) certificate issued by teh SS


Explanation:
Looking at teh expression used in similar contexts (e.g. see end of page 3 in this PDF http://www.naalc.org/migrant/spanish/pdf/mgmexwpr_sp.pdf),

it seems quite clear that it's what the Spanish call a baja.

Si durante el periodo de vacaciones el empleado llegara a tener una incapacidad expedida por el Seguro Social, estos días no impactarán su saldo de vacaciones.

If an employee is issued with a (sick) certificate from the SS during his/her holidays, these days will not be counted as holidays.

OR

Vacation period days for which a (sick) certificate has been obtained from the SS will not be counted as holidays.

OOps!

Title: a (sick) certificate issued by the SS

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 57 mins (2007-05-14 08:33:31 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

In other words, if you can prove you were ill, by means of a proper cert obtained from the SS, then these days will not be counted as holiday - seems only fair and logical:-)

It's goy nothing to do with 'incapacity'. Refer to the PDF: it's a pregnant woman's right to be paid her salary when she is "certifiably" sick during her pregnancy.

The "estos dias" refers to the days of sick leave. If you took 30 days hols, and 4 of them were certified as sick, then after you came back, you would still be entitled to those 4 days.

¿Y si necesito ausentarme del trabajo
durante mi embarazo?
Durante tu embarazo puedes obtener permisos
para ausentarte, siempre y cuando se justifiquen
con una incapacidad, expedida por el IMSS, a
fin de que no te descuenten el día de tu salario.
