There was an error on the Maternity Insurance law

Editor, I’m a CSR lawyer and the one who has worked on draft law of Maternity. Insurance. I noticed, as I read the article in last Friday’s publication (18th September), that the Head of Media and Public Relations in CSR was quoted saying “...the employer will contribute 0.5% whereas the employee will contribute 1.5 of gross salary...”

An expentant woman. The draft law on maternity insurance is aimed at benefiting women

Editor,

I’m a CSR lawyer and the one who has worked on draft law of Maternity

Insurance. I noticed, as I read the article in last Friday’s publication (18th September), that the Head of Media and Public Relations in CSR was quoted saying "...the employer will contribute 0.5% whereas the employee will contribute 1.5 of gross salary...”

But it’s the employee who will contribute 0.5% of his/her gross salary and the employer 1.5%. That’s how it is provided for in the draft law.
