5. Insurance contributions have been paid for you as prescribed by law

• Salaried employee - The payment of insurance contributions for you is the duty of your employer, and a debt owed by your employer to the National Insurance Institute will not impair your old age pension (salaried employees are not responsible for payment of the insurance contributions, except for times during which they are not receiving a salary, such as during an unpaid leave that lasts longer than two months). The employer must continue to make insurance contributions for you until the date on which you are entitled to an old age pension.
• Self-employed worker - You are responsible for making your own insurance contributions. If you continue to work and are receiving an old age pension, you must make insurance contributions to the Work Injury Department only.
• If you do not work (neither a salaried employee nor self-employed) - You must make the insurance contributions yourself, until the date on which you are entitled to an old age pension.
