- Adding the regulation under which, if persons working part-time at communes, wards or towns are signers of labor contracts, they will be classified as signers of labor contracts when participating in social insurance.
(Persons working part-time at communes, wards or towns must pay 8% of their base wage into the retirement pension and death benefit fund. Meanwhile, signers of labor contracts must pay 8% of their wage rate used as a basis for payment of SI contributions into the retirement pension and death benefit fund).
- In case where an employee quits due to any disease on the list of diseases requiring long-term treatment, adding the regulation whereunder the maximum rate of sickness insurance benefit for the number of days that does not reach a complete month is equal to that for a complete month (current regulations do not state such maximum rate).
- In case a female employee with twin or multiple pregnancies suffers the death of her babies before or after labor, her benefit period, maternity benefit and one-off benefit after childbirth will be calculated according to the number of babies that she has, including those that die after or before labor.
(Current regulations laid down in clause 3 of Article 10 in the Circular No. 59/2015/TT-BLDTBXH prescribe that maternity benefits are paid per babies alive).
