Incentive Analysis and Prevention of Legal Risks
As lucrative as it is to benefit from incentives, it is just as risky to submit a declaration with the wrong law number without meeting the conditions. In the audits to be carried out by SSI inspectors, the incentive amounts that are found to have been unfairly benefited, collected back from the employer together with the delay increase and penalty. In addition, situations such as fraudulent insurance or violations of debt restructurings can result in the company being stripped of all incentive rights for 1 year (incentive ban). To avoid this catastrophic scenario, incentive calculations should not be performed using traditional methods, but using specialized software and an expert payroll services department every month according to the current legislation. cross-checked must be done.
