This protection by providing a sense of security, both in the financial, health, and physical safety as workers, so workers can move quietly and can contribute positively to the enhancement value of the company. the protection of workers is a necessity for companies that are required by the government through rules and laws. In implementing protection programs, many employers are working with insurance companies that provide cover to possible health problems, financial or other problems encountered or experienced by workers and his families in the future. Practically, the granting of this protection is not the same quality for each worker, depending on each position and their work’s responsibility.

Factors That Determine Protection Provision of protection between each employee is influenced by various factors namely:

Responsibility

The higher the position an employee in a company, the greater the responsibility upon him. A CEO, a top leader in the enterprise, carry the greatest responsibility to the viability of business enterprises. The higher the responsibility carried by one, the higher the insurance coverage provided by the company. For example, a Manager of Treasury or the Branch Manager of the Bank have a higher responsibility than the Dealer who served in the Dealing Room. Therefore, the degree of protection provided by the company to the Manager of Treasury or the Branch Manager is higher than the Dealer, for example of the quality of health benefits.
