Modernization of ZUS IT system creates delays in payments to pension funds
Pension funds are expressing shock after discovering upcoming delays in
transfers of social security premiums from newspapers. On Tuesday, the
Social Insurance Company (ZUS) announced that between June and September its
transfers to pension funds could be some 10% lower than they should be, due
to the modernization of ZUS's IT system. "It looks like this improvement [of
the IT system] is going to make things worse. This is rather dangerous,
considering that things are not good at present to begin with," a president
of one of the pension funds told Prawo i Gospodarka. ZUS president Ale
ksandra Wiktorow claims that the pension funds were informed of the an
ticipated complications in advance. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 2) T.J.
