A PricewaterhouseCoopers forum has called for the establishment of a separate social security regime for short-term expatriates describing the current system as “not favourable” to the workers. Although the Pensions Act requires that short-term expatriates also contribute to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust , the same law requires that to be eligible for benefits in times of death or invalidity, they should have contributed at least 12 months out of the past 36 months.
