The National Insurance Scheme (NIS) has recently concluded three one-day educational workshops for clerks who prepare NIS documentation.
A release from the NIS said that the workshops were held to offer organisations the opportunity to upgrade and improve their knowledge of NIS tasks.
The seminars were held on April 17, 23 and 24 at NIS Roof Garden, Brickdam and Winter Place, Georgetown, and facilitated a better working relationship between NIS and contributing entities.
Topics covered during the workshops included, NIS in perspective, registration and compliance issues, electronic submission of contributions, benefits and quality conditions, Caricom Reciprocal Agreements and factors affecting payment of benefits.
The workshops trained over 100 clerks from 48 government agencies and private companies, including the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, the Guyana National Industrial Corporation, regional educa
tion offices, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, Guyana Forestry Commission, Republic Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Didco Trading Company, Demerara Distillers, Banks DIH, New GPC, National Hardware, St Joseph Mercy Hospital and National Milling Company, among others.
