National Assembly (NA) deputies discuss contents of the draft amended social insurance law on May 27.
On May 27 morning, many deputies laid emphasis on ensuring the rights of laborers amidst the increase in evasion, late payment and of social insurance premium payment, late payment and debts.
Vuong Thi Huong Giang, a deputy from the northern mountainous province of Ha Giang, said the bill needs to clearly stipulate the role and responsibility of State management agencies and enforcement forces to prevent social insurance payment evasion and delay.
Le Thi Danh Lam from the Mekong Delta province of Hau Giang proposed the bill contain specific regulations on the responsibility of inspection of social insurance collection and payment.
She opined that the Government should require enterprises to set up a social insurance reserve fund in order to ensure health insurance, social insurance, unemployment insurance, and work accident insurance coverage for their employees. She also suggested that the Government can assign the social insurance sector to inspect the collection and payment of social insurance premiums and punish or conduct lawsuits against violators.
The legislators also looked into lump-sum payout of benefits for laborers who have paid social insurance premiums for less than 20 years.-(VLLF)
