Article 82 of Social Insurance Law

The pensions and gratuities prescribed under the provisions of Part Three of this Law for insured persons in the private and oil sectors shall offset the employer's obligations under this insurance only to the extent equivalent to the statutory end-of-service gratuity at the rates set out in Article (54) of the aforementioned Law No. 38 of 1964. Employers bound by more favourable pension, gratuity or savings schemes shall be liable for the value of the difference between what they bore under those schemes and the statutory end-of-service gratuity calculated on the basis referred to in the preceding paragraph. This difference shall be calculated for the entire period of service of the insured persons, whether periods of service preceding or following participation in the Institution, and shall be paid to the Institution in full within thirty days of termination of the insured person's service, without any reduction. It shall be paid to the insured persons or their beneficiaries even if the employer has not paid it within the aforementioned period.
