Company does not accept digital work cards: what should I do?

When a company doesn't accept digital work cards, it's a real problem.

This is because many younger workers do not have the physical version.

And even professionals who have been in the market for a longer time may have lost their little blue notebook.

In this case, what can be done? Can the company refuse to accept it? After all, what is it and how to issue it? Digital CTPS?

There are a lot of questions, but the good news is that they will all be answered in today's material! 

So, to stay on top of the subject and know how to act in this situation, check out the content below! 

What is the digital work card?

The digital work card is a real controversy in the professional market.

This is because, on the one hand, we have those who loved the new feature and found the model practical.

On the other hand, the main opinion is that this resource is difficult to deal with.

To reach a conclusion, it is necessary to understand what the digital CTPS is.

As we well know, the Employment and Social Security Card is considered an identity document.

This is because it contains your personal information, signature and official photo.

But, in addition to being an identity document, the CTPS also serves to record information relating to employment and social security contracts.

This way, all your professional records are included in the CTPS, as well as information about unemployment insurance, terminations and many other items.

Therefore, for those starting their professional life, the CTPS is very important.

This is because it is necessary to register the start of the employment contract and all subsequent updates.

The Digital Work Card came as an alternative to replace the old model.

This way, all the functions of the physical CTPS can now be performed through the application.

The idea is to facilitate processes, in addition to avoiding losses related to loss, theft or damage to the physical wallet.

This is because the digital version can be easily accessed via the internet and any compatible mobile device.

So, what you need to know at this point is that the digital wallet is nothing more than the physical version of the classic blue notebook. 

And, regarding what to do if the company doesn't accept digital work cards, we'll see the answer soon! 

Company does not accept digital work cards: is it allowed?

By now you already know what the digital CTPS is, and you understand that this is the virtual version of the physical card.

But, there is one piece of information that needs to be added, which is: the digital CTPS replaced the physical version.

This means that the traditional blue booklet is no longer issued.

Therefore, if you need to create a CTPS, you will have to do it through the app, and you will only have the digital version.

This makes the process much easier, as it is no longer necessary to go to a specific agency to obtain the CTPS.

Just download the app, fill in the information and your registration will be completed in no time.

Furthermore, usage is also simpler, as the information and records are made online.

This makes everything more practical and encourages frequent updating of information.

However, it is not uncommon to see cases where the company does not accept digital work cards.

Is this allowed? 

Considering that the Digital CTPS replaces the physical one, therefore, it is currently not possible to issue the physical document, this refusal cannot occur.

This is because the CTPS is an official document, which cannot be refused.

Furthermore, as we have already said, many workers do not have the possibility of having the physical version.

Therefore, this refusal excludes these professionals, which cannot happen.

Furthermore, companies must update themselves and comply with the latest developments from the Ministry of Labor.

The digital CTPS currently represents the current model and is recognized.

Therefore, no company can refuse to use it.

Can the company request a physical version? Yes! But they can't refuse a digital version! 

What to do when the company doesn't accept digital work cards?

By now you already know that the company cannot refuse to accept the digital CTPS.

This is because this is currently the current model, therefore, it must be accepted as a priority.

However, even though this is the official information, it is not uncommon for companies to refuse the digital version of the CTPS.

In general, the reasons given for this are either a lack of knowledge about how to use the version, or even because they are unaware that this is the new model in force.

But, what should we do in this situation? We'll see right now!

If you have the physical version 

If you have your physical CTPS, it may be easier to deal with the situation when the company doesn't accept the digital work card.

This is because, all you need to do is present your physical wallet, as the rest is the company's responsibility.

As we've already said, the company will need to register the information in the digital CTPS system anyway, so not accepting it at first won't change anything.

But, for your part, you just need to present your physical wallet in order to obtain the registration, as the company will have to resolve the rest.

If you only have the digital 

However, we know that in most cases the person does not have the physical version, either because they lost it, or because when it was issued the blue booklet no longer existed.

In this case, the solution must start with an attempt to inform the company that it cannot refuse to accept the digital version, as it is the current model.

This practice usually helps, because when they realize they are acting in a non-compliant manner, many companies seek to adjust.

However, if the company still refuses, it is worth filing a complaint with the Ministry of Labor, claiming that the company does not accept digital work cards.

This will be enough for the company to receive notification of what happened and thus be able to change its conduct.

Finally, this is the information about digital CTPS, so now that you know about the subject, you can finally resolve in case of refusal to accept the version.
