The Nation Newspaper NASS calls for amendment of employees compensation Act
The National Assembly has called for an amendment to the Employees Compensation Act 2010 in order to strengthen the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund . So, we still have a leg in pension but not for those who retired from work but for those who are disabled at work. We still pay them some pension.
“Definition of at work means physically at work, or when they go for official assignments like we are here now, it’s work we are in, or where we have our meals, where we regularly have our meals, or when we go to the bank to collect our salaries and money and do bank transaction, that is, what we call work within the context of the ECA.
“There are people that are on our payroll every month. As we are paying our salaries, we are paying their disability pensions on a monthly basis. Also, for all persons who died at work or in the cause of work, we pay their dependants a portion of their salary. For example, if someone died at work and their spouse is fully dependent on the person and has two or more children, that person will get 90% of the last payment that the person was receiving at work.
