Supporting employees (Hỗ trợ người lao động) at 1.8 million/person because epidemic Covid-19
The covid-19 pandemic has been badly affecting the global economy, and Vietnam is no exception. Falling sales, stagnant production, delayed or even canceled orders have led to a financial burden for businesses, especially manufacturing enterprises – a group of enterprises with a lot of workers and employees (Hỗ trợ người lao động). As a result, businesses have difficulty in ensuring the lives of their employees while balancing their financial position.
In such difficult period, Resolution 42 / NQ-CP was issued in a timely manner, reassuring enterprises and reassuring workers to continue to feel secure in production and business. Accordingly, Resolution 42 has a very important content that both businesses and employees are interested in, that is: “Supporting employees who have their labor contracts suspended, unpaid leave at 1.8 million / person, maximum time of 03 months.”

However, the resolution was issued but there was no specific guidance, making localities stuck in the implementation of the resolution.
On April 25, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc issued Decision No. 15/2020 / QD-TTg regulating the implementation of policies to support people facing difficulties due to COVID-19 epidemic.
Accordingly, the above content will be implemented as follows:
1. The employee who is entitled to the policy must meet the following requirements (Hỗ trợ người lao động)
+ Unpaid leave, postponement of employment contracts for 01 month or more in a row
+ Currently attending compulsory insurance
+ Working at a business with no revenue or no financial resources to pay salaries.
Therefore, in the condition of No. 3, enterprises will need to prove their financial difficulties through books and vouchers so that employees can enjoy this policy.
2. The order of procedures (Hỗ trợ người lao động)
+Firstly: The enterprise makes a list of employees who meet the above conditions according to the form in Annex 1 issued with this decision, requesting the grassroots trade union to certify this list.
+ Secondly: The enterprise submits the list of above certifications to the social insurance agency in suspicion of certification within 3 days from the time of submission.
+ Thirdly: After receiving the confirmation from the social insurance agency, the enterprise submits the list and proofs mentioned above to the one-stop section of the district People’s Committee where the head office is located. Within 3 days, the district People’s Committee will carry out the procedures to approve the list and support budget, and direct the payment of support.
Thus, the policy is both a right and an obligation of the business. Enterprises implement procedures so that the new employees can enjoy the policy. Because the policy shares with businesses about taking care of the lives of workers during the epidemic. Since then, it helps workers feel more secure, accompanies businesses through difficulties. Later, when the epidemic is over, workers are ready to return to work to help businesses stabilize production and business.
