Summary/Abstract: The report analyzes the provision of Art. 40, para. 5 of the Social Security Code, according to which the insurer owes the insured person compensation for the first three days of temporary inability to work instead of the social security body. An attempt has been made to answer some questions that cause difficulties in practice, such as whether insurance contributions are due on this payment and whether persons who do not have the legally required insurance experience are entitled to such payment. The author concludes that the compensation owed by the insurer should be dropped, since apart from the contradictory interpretations and difficulties in practice that the considered provision gives rise to, it is unfair in its essence and contradicts the philosophy of social security law.
