Read the article above and answer the questions that follow this scenario. Hon. Anna is a minister of education whose salary’s is above N$800 000 per annum, and Mrs Geingos is a cleaner at NUST whose salary’s is N$ 50 000 per annum. The Namibian government have constituted the Social Security Commission (SSC) to cater for the social welfare of citizens. With this information answer the following questions. 

Work out the individual monthly contribution to SSC for the two ladies? 

Calculate the monthly contribution of a self-employed person, with N$ 42 000 per annum? 

How much would the three individuals get from SSC when they take 3-month maternity leave 

Discuss the economic impact that these three individuals are likely to face regarding their social benefit from SSC?        

Benefits and Expenses are reported on
submission of the annual income tax
remittance form per employee, together
with the relevant supporting
documentation. This is due by 30th
June annually. Moreover, women who
are employed lose part of their pay
cheque when they take maternity leave,
because of the N$13 000 per month
ceiling in the current maternity, sick
leave and death benefit fund. Only those
women who earns less than 13 000 per
month are not affected by the ceiling
because they get their full monthly
salary as before the maternity leave.
The onus is on the employee to remain
responsible for accounting for
business-related expenditure, which may
be claimed from certain allowances
granted. It is best practice for employers
to also have relevant records of such
expenses for their ease of reference.
