Important
Government contribution control does not apply to the following contracts:
- Contracts whose total accumulation as of the date of control exceeds 10 times the annual gross minimum wage; and
- Contracts including irregular payment.
What is irregular payment?
If the contribution due after January 1, 2016, is not deposited within three (3) months after the date of payment, it is considered irregular payment under the relevant contract. For contracts that fall within the scope of irregular payments, participants are informed within five (5) workdays after the start of the irregular payment period.
When all overdue contributions are paid under an irregularly paid contract, it is accepted that regular payments have begun for that contract.
No state contribution control exists over deductions for contracts with irregular payment status.
