"Abasebenzi beshishini lethu banokufumana ithuba lokujonga phambili kwikamva eliya kubakhusela bona kunye neentsapho zabo."
“Sibuyele endleleni kwaye siwagqibile amalungiselelo nomphathi wengxowa-mali iSagicor kunye nomphathi wengxowa-mali uGuardian Life. Nge-1 kaJanuwari abasebenzi abakhenkethi abamalunga nama-350,000 banokuqala ukubhalisa, ukuze bafumane ikamva lezemali elivakalayo nelingenaxhala,” utshilo.
I-Tourism Workers Pension Scheme sisicwangciso esichaziweyo segalelo esixhaswa ngumthetho kwaye siya kufuna igalelo elisisinyanzelo ngabasebenzi nabaqeshi. Ngaphambi kobhubhane, iiseshini ezininzi zokwazisa zabanjwa kunye nabasebenzi bokhenketho kwisiqithi sonke ukufumana impendulo kunye nokucacisa ukuba le nkqubo iza kusebenza njani.
“Inkqubo yomhlalaphantsi iza kufuna imirhumo enyanzelekileyo ngabasebenzi nabaqeshi. Ibandakanya bonke abasebenzi ababudala buphakathi kwe-18-59 yeminyaka kwicandelo lezokhenketho, nokuba basisigxina, bekhontrakthi okanye baziqeshile. Izibonelelo ziyakuhlawulwa xa uneminyaka engama-65 nangaphezulu,” Ukhenketho lwaseJamaica UMphathiswa uBartlett wachaza.
