About this statute

This provision says the Order sets funeral expenses and death allowances for an employee, and how they are paid. An employer must pay funeral expenses to a deceased employee’s family when the employee dies while still in service. If an employee dies while still in service, the spouse or heir receives death allowances equal to three times the employee’s last monthly gross salary. Funeral expenses and death allowances are paid before the funeral ceremonies, and death allowances must be paid within 30 days of the employee’s death if there is any delay or the authorised recipients are not immediately available. This article repeals Ministerial Order n° 01 of 02/07/2010 on funeral indemnities, and any prior provisions contrary to this Order.
