Employer is not obliged to pay

A contractor had been sued before the Labor Court because the Social Insurance Institution didn’t pay her daily allowances on time during maternity leave. The employee complained that the employer must pay the daily allowances directly and immediately to her.
The court granted the employer justice, as he had marked on the form that the SVA should be paid directly to the employee. It was not his fault that the SVA was paid too late.
