The Eastern Regional Health Authority (ERHA) has noted an article entitled “Nurses: Gov’t not making NIS payments” published on page 18 of Trinidad Newsday newspapers dated today September 6, 2024.

The ERHA categorically states that the organisation fulfils its statutory obligation as employer by submitting all required National Insurance contributions for its employees to the National Insurance Board on a monthly basis, in advance of the 15th of each month. This practice is implemented in full compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements governing such deductions and payments.

The ERHA takes the opportunity to remind all stakeholders to obtain verified information which will provide accurate representations of the Authority’s adherence to its statutory obligations.
