What does the bill do?

The bill amends the National Insurance Law to add indemnification for employers for pension contribution payments (provident) that they pay to provident funds for employees serving in reserve duty in emergency circumstances. The indemnification will be given by the National Insurance Institute as an addition to the regular compensation, for periods of service of at least 30 days. The condition applies to emergency service during one year from October 7, 2023, and the indemnification will not be considered part of the compensation for the purposes of the laws of this chapter.
