ArmInfo. On October 5, Armenian Parliament passed the second reading
of a bill on introduction of alterations and amendments to the Law
'On Allowances'. Moreover, Armenian parliamentarians made alterations
and amendments in the Law 'On Tax on Income' and the Law 'On Compulsory
Social Insurance'.
As deputy Minister on Labour and Social Issues of Armenia Artyom
Asatryan said, thus the government intends to intensify the fight
against false disability certificates. In particular, it is supposed
that not the state but the employer will pay for the first three days
of temporary disability.
The bill provisions do not cover servicemen and the people equated with
them, since they do not receive salary but a military compensation,
that is, they do not pay social fees from these funds.
The package of the state's legislative initiative aims at exclusion of
cases of unfair use of leaves because of temporary disability, that
is, execution of false disability certificates. It is supposed that
thus an employer may prevent abuse of this kind of absence from a job.
However, it does not mean that the state refuses to pay. The point
is that an employer will pay for the first three days. Moreover,
a provision is introduced according to which citizens of foreign
states will have to pay compulsory social fees. Currently, they are
relieved of this kind of payments.
