Unemployment Insurance Law Relaxed

Ho Chi Minh 4251

Previously, with the unilateral termination of the labor contract the employee had to be certified by the employer in order to be eligible for unemployment insurance (UI).

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact HR2B Staffing services.

The new Decree forces employers to provide the employee written certification of the unilateral termination, and to close the Social Insurance books of the person, even if the employer does not accept the resignation. This protects employees from employers who hold their Social Insurance paperwork to ransom.

Also from 15/1/2013 the UI registration deadline will be extended from 7 days to 3 months from the date of termination of the labor contract. This longer time period makes it easier for employers and employees to comply with the law.
