In the event that the employer has not contributed such 2 1/3% in addition to said 12%, his contributions shall only replace 72% of the employee's severance pay;

(b)          To the Insurance Fund are at a rate of no less than one of the following:

(1)        13 1/3% of the Exempt Salary, if in addition thereto, the employer makes contributions for his employee for securing monthly income in the event of disability to a plan approved by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings at the Ministry of Finance, at the rate required to secure at least 75% of the Exempt Salary or a rate of 2 1/2% of the Exempt Salary, whichever is lower (“Disability Insurance Contributions”); or

(2)       By no later than three months of the commencement date of the Employer's Contributions, a written agreement is executed between the employer and the employee that includes:
 
(a)        The employee’s consent to the arrangement pursuant to this approval in a form specifying the Employer's Contributions, and the Pension Fund and Insurance Fund, as applicable; such agreement shall also include the form of this approval;
 

(b)         The employer’s advance waiver of any right he may have to a refund of monies from his contributions, unless the employee’s right to severance pay has been revoked by virtue of Sections 16 or 17 of the Law, and to the extent so revoked, or the employee has withdrawn monies from the Pension Fund or Insurance Fund other than by reason of an Entitling Event; in such regard “Entitling Event” means death, disability or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 or after the age of 60 or more.
