Employer Social Security Obligations

Social security responsibilities for employers can arise from several factors, particularly concerning surcharges on benefits due to work accidents and occupational diseases. This involves a surcharge of 30% to 50% on social security benefits if worker injuries result from:

The Concept of Law: Objective and Subjective

The law is traditionally taught in two senses. It can be understood in an objective sense, as the rule of law addressed to recipients to prescribe or impose a certain behavior. Alternatively, it can be understood in the subjective sense, as the possibilities for citizens to exercise powers for the satisfaction of certain interests, according to their own devices.

Technical Structure of Subjective Rights

• Subject: The presence of a subject is required for every right; that is, the person to whom the power belongs when the law is applied. The quality of the membership of the subjective right to a particular person is the title.
• Object: This is the holder of the outside world on which their power rests.
