"Employee Pension Regulations" were drawn up by the Company and pension contributions are continuing to be made each month based on the following criteria: 15% of salary for employees on the old system, and 9% of salary for employees on the new system that chose to retain their years of service under the old system. The regulation covers all full-time permanent employee. According to the pension regulation, the criteria for payment is that two bases are given for each full year of service rendered.
