HR Enbek: What an CEAI notification means
Тhe Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan informs employers about the procedure for generating notifications on the HR Enbek portal regarding the need to conclude or renew a compulsory employee accident insurance contract covering accidents occurring in the performance of employment (official) duties (hereinafter referred to as the compulsory employee accident insurance contract).
Under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, employers are required to ensure that their employees are insured against accidents occurring in the performance of their employment (official) duties. Concluding a compulsory employee accident insurance contract is a mandatory legal requirement. Failure to conclude the required insurance contract may result in administrative liability under the law.
Notifications on the HR Enbek portal are generated automatically when the information system identifies that no information is available on a valid compulsory employee accident insurance contract.
Notifications are generated using information on active employment contracts registered on the HR Enbek portal, as well as information on compulsory employee accident insurance contracts received from the Unified Insurance Database and integrated with the digital systems of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
At the same time, receipt of a notification does not automatically mean that an employer has been found to be in breach of the law. The notification informs the employer of a discrepancy identified by the system in the available information and is intended to enable the employer to verify the information in a timely manner and, where necessary, take appropriate action.
Discrepancies may arise, among other reasons, because information on a recently concluded or renewed compulsory employee accident insurance contract has not yet been received or updated in the relevant information systems.
Where an employer receives a notification, the following action is recommended:
If a compulsory employee accident insurance contract has not been concluded or has expired, the employer should contact an insurance organisation to conclude or renew the contract in accordance with the procedure established by law.
If a compulsory employee accident insurance contract has been concluded and remains valid, the employer should check its validity period, whether all employees are covered, and whether the contract details correspond to the information held in the relevant information systems. If any discrepancies are identified, the employer should contact the insurance organisation to clarify and update the information.
If a compulsory employee accident insurance contract has recently been concluded or renewed, employers should bear in mind that the relevant information is entered into the information systems after it has been submitted by the insurance organisation and processed accordingly. As a result, there may be a certain time lag before the information is updated on the HR Enbek portal.
Notifications received are retained in the employer’s personal account.
If an employer receives a repeated notification, it is recommended that the employer contact the insurance organisation to clarify the status of the submission and updating of information concerning the compulsory employee accident insurance contract.
The Ministry emphasises that these notifications are informational and preventive in nature and are intended to ensure that employers are informed in a timely manner of the need to comply with legal requirements and provide appropriate insurance protection for their employees.
Employers are advised to regularly check that their compulsory employee accident insurance contracts are in place and remain valid, and that the information concerning employee insurance held in the relevant information systems is up to date.
