EMPLOYERS RESPONSIBLE Duty of Paying Weekly Premiums De- volves Upon Masters. Who May Re- cover Part from Workers—Some of the Provisions of the Law. The National Insurance Act has come into operation in Great Britain, so far as the puyment of contributions is concerned. With the exception of what is called “sanitorium benefit,’’ claimable on that date, no other benefits are claimable until January 15, 1913. The framing of this legis- lation was a work of considereble magnitude and its application will probably be a still greater labor. It does not appear that employers have rendered them- selves familiar with the proce- dure of the act, This is more in- teresting in view of the fact that the penalty for offences against the legislation or the regulations under itis a fine not exceeding £10. ; As pointed out by The Times the duty of paying contributions is under the Act placed upon the employer in the first instance, He is, save in exceptional cases, entitled tu recover part of the contribution from the worker, but it cannot be too clearly under- stood that the employer pays the full contribution in the first in- stance, and that he cannot re- cover the worker’s share by de- duction from wages or other- wise, unless he has first paid it, Every employer is reqaired to pay contributions under the Act in respect of all persons eraploy- ed by him who are between the ages of 16 and 70, unless the employment falls within one of the classes which are expressly excluded from the compulsory provisions ‘of the Act. These ex- cluded classes are elearly set forth in the explanatory memo- randum above referred to, which should be consulted. They in- clude apprentices without wages, and so forth, It does not matter For how short atime the worker is em- ployed, nor for how many em- ployers he works, nor whether he is paid by time or by the piece. contributions must be paid whether the worker is an alien or British subject. In case where responsible for the payment of er of a cab who lets it out to a cabman is responsible as em- ployer for the payment of the contributions in respect to. the cabman; and the employer of-a waiter whose earnings depends entirely onthe ‘‘tips’’ he receives ia under the same liability. | In short the Act reruires that, with certain exceptions, easily ascertainable, every person in the service of an employer must be insured, if between the ages of 16 and 70, and must:— (1) Get a contribution’ eard before July 15th, either from the approved society of which he or postoffice; and (2) produce it to his or her employer before J uly 15th, to be stamped on the first pay day. Every employer must (1) require contribution cards YUP UP SAN Laundry: and and Baths Suits Cleaned Next dow to Sam ‘Lee | B cE - Hakelton,, B. io = card, } ; | which may be obtained from any | . postoffice: (2) obtain health in- surance stamps at the postoffice; and (8) stamp the cards hefore paying wages, from every person in his employ- ment (save those who are ‘ex- cepted by the Act; or, if the em- ployed person fails to produce a use. dn emergency -¢ard Should employ- formance. of these “obligations they will do so at their’ peril; since, as stated above, the pen- alty for each offence against the Act or the regulations is a fine not exceeding £10. co, The Insurance Commissioners are prepared to make arrange- ments with large employers of labor for the stamping of the! cards of their regular employees quarterly instead of week by week, The Act requires that the full contribution shal! first be actually paid before the employ- er can deduct the employee's share of it from his or her wages and consequently any employer with whom the above-mentioned arrangement is made will kave to remit to the Commissioners, in advance, a cheque sufficient ta cover the contributions payable in respect of the employes to whom the arrangement applies, These remittances may be made either quarterly or weekly in ad- vance. The arrangement, can only apply to employees who have agreed to deposit their cards with thelr employer during the quar- ter, because in the absence of such agreement the employee must be given his card each pay day, duly stamped to date. It will also be necessary for the employer to stamp to date the card of any employee who re- quires his card during the quar- ter either for production to his society in order to claim benefit or on leaving the employer's ser- viee, When a quarterly stamp- ing arrangement has been made with an employer, the latter will be able to stamp the cards at the end of each quarter’ (the quarters run for 18 weeks, begin- ning July 15), and the necessary stamps will be sent by the com- missioners to the employer in return for the remittances made, Stamps for 1, 2, 10and 18 weeks’ for this purpose, There are cer- tain other conditions with which employers to whom these special facilities are granted will be: :re- quired to comply, MINISTERS RETURN Premier and Taylor Inspect C.
