The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments on Articles 2, 5, 8 and 11 of the Convention and wishes to draw its attention on the following points.
Article 2. Employees in micro-enterprises. The Committee notes the adoption of the Micro-enterprise Tax Act of 1 September 2010, according to which employees working for such enterprises may opt to join voluntarily the State Social Insurance. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would explain in its next report whether these employees are excluded from the mandatory social insurance and provide statistics on the number of workers employed in such enterprises.
Article 7. Additional compensation. The report states that when a person needs additional assistance according to the opinion of the State Medical Commission of Health and Labour, the State Social Insurance Agency (SSIA) can either increase the persons’ benefit up to a maximum of 50 per cent or allow the beneficiary to employ a person up to this amount for assistance (Section 20(6) of the Act on State Social Insurance). The SSIA shall not refuse additional compensation when the State Medical Commission decides that special care is necessary, but shall consider the other income of the person concerned when evaluating the amount of such additional compensation. Please indicate what criteria or specific regulations apply to assessing the other income of the person concerned and whether additional compensation could be refused because of his or her financial situation.
