(b)To the Insurance Fund are not less than one of the following:

 

(1)131/3% of the Exempt Salary, if the employer pays for his employee in addition thereto also payments to secure monthly income in the event of disability, in a plan approved by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Department of the Ministry of Finance, in an amount required to secure at least 75% of the Exempt Salary or in an amount of 21/2% of the Exempt Salary, the lower of the two (hereinafter: "Disability Insurance");

(2)No later than three months from the commencement of the Employer's Payments, a written agreement is executed between the employer and the employee in which -

 

(a)   The employee has agreed to the arrangement pursuant to this approval in a text specifying the Employer's Payments, the Pension Fund and Insurance Fund, as the case may be; the said agreement shall also include the text of this approval;

 

(b)   The employer waives in advance any right, which it may have to a refund of monies from his payments, unless the employee has withdrawn monies from the Pension Fund or Insurance Fund other than by reason of an entitling event; in such regard "Entitling Event" means death, disability or retirement at after the age of 60.
