The Kurdistan Regional Government intends to improve the Social Security Law for workers, despite the obstacles that surround it, represented by the lack of awareness on the part of this segment and the non-payment of the specified amounts.  

The director of the Department of Labor and Social Security in Erbil, Mariwan Bukuk, told Al-Sabah: The guarantee process aims to approve retirement dues, compensations and bonuses for the benefit of workers after the end of service, and they can benefit from this guarantee and obtain their full dues through bank checks.

He stressed the serious role of the Kurdistan Regional Government in securing all the rights of workers who will be included in the social security system.

In turn, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in the region, Arian Ahmed
Mustafa, told Al-Sabah:

There is a problem represented by the workers' lack of confidence in the social security system and their refusal to go to the Social Security Department to pay the specified rates, which are 5 percent of the salaries at the expense of the workers and 12 percent at the expense of the employer.

He explained that there is a situation that occurs sometimes, represented by the presence of those concerned to pay the guarantee and then return to retrieve the amount that they paid to the Social Security Department on the pretext that they do not want to obtain the guarantee and they do not know the extent of its usefulness after the allotted period of 25 years in paying the allocated amount until the worker receives a pension every month. Like the rest of
the retired district employees.
