Cap. 318 ст. 126Unpaid contributions deemed as paid in cases where employee has no blame.

Where a claim for benefit, pension or allowance is made by an employed person under this Act, for the purposes of establishing whether he has been in insurable employment during any period prior to his claim, any contributions due but not paid in his respect, under article 7, may be deemed by the Director to have been paid if he is satisfied that such non-payment was not due to any fault or connivance on the part of the employed person concerned; but such contributions shall, for all other purposes, be treated as unpaid: Provided that where an employed person fails to pay any contributions in accordance with article 8(5), such non-payment shall, where such employed person has received the wages due to him, always be deemed to be due to the fault on the part of the employed person.
