(not subject to) waiting period


Explanation:
I am pretty sure that the term "carencia" means "waiting period".

However, the construction of the sentence does not indicate clearly whether the worker has already completed the 180 days required to be entitled to insurance, or not. Hence my low degree of confidence.

Maybe the rest of the text will help you decide.

minimum period


Explanation:
In this context, "carencia" is the minimum period of time for which the worker must have contributed to the social security system in order to receive any benefit from this insurance (as implied).

So I would phrase this as follows:

This means that the worker is on sick leave, though as the minimum contribution period of 180 days has not been reached, no further action is required.
