ARMENIAN STATE INSTITUTIONS MADE DEDUCTIONS FROM WAGES WITHOUT INFORMING STAFF
02.04.2014 16:14 epress.am
A portion of the monthly salaries of employees of state institutions
(schools, universities, ministries, and medical institutions) were
withheld in January. Some employees of state institutions informed
Epress.am that when they attempted to find out what happened, they were
told that mandatory pension payments stipulated by law were withheld.
Recall, the Constitutional Court suspended application of the law
until it issues a final ruling in March, but RA Minister of Labor
and Social AffairsArtem Asatryan yesterday stated in parliament that
by the Court's decision only employees are exempt from sanctions,
while the obligations of employers have not changed.
A majority of employees of state institutions were not informed of
the deductions and were not asked which of the two pension funds
they preferred their payments to go to. In one of the universities,
employees were informed through a special decree that the withheld
amount will be returned if the Constitutional Court on Mar. 28 decides
to repeal the law.
