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.
Skill (Expertise)
For enterprise business continuity, companies need employees who have special expertise. for example, in the field of information technology, the company hire the information technology experts who mastered computer technology.

The more heavy working conditions faced by workers, the higher the protection programs are implemented.
Government (Government Regulation)
Government as a regulator usually make regulations requiring employers or companies to provide adequate protection for workers.
