fulcrum for labourers and employers.

Meanwhile, 38,235 labourers are entitled to a benefit of between 1.8 million to
3.3 million VND per person, with the total amount estimated at 92 billion VND.
In addition, the provincial social insurance agency is planning to support
7,500 workers who have stopped paying unemployment insurance premiums due to
the termination of labour contracts from January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
As of October 14, the agency has sent notices and lists of 38,235 workers
eligible for financial support to 1,467 employers, completing 100 percent of
the target. It has made payment of benefit to 1,723 workers with total capital
of over 4.3 billion VND.
The provincial social insurance agency has established a special working group
to remove difficulties for businesses and employees.
The working group is responsible for inspecting and supervising the payment of
benefits by social insurance authorities at district- and provincial social
insurance offices. It is also assignedto study problems arising in the
implementation to have timely solutions, prevent mistakes in the implementation
process and report it to the Vietnam Social Insurance.
With a professional and modern software system, a centralised and unified
database of the industry, the provincial social insurance agency is determined
to complete the programme on schedule, contributing to reducing obstacles for
businesses and employees./.
