Delegation of National Assembly Deputies of Ninh Thuan Province: Discussion at the Hall about the Draft Law on Employment (amended)

On the morning of November 27, at the National Assembly House, continuing the 8th Session Program, the National Assembly discussed in the hall the draft Law on Employment (amended).

Speaking at the discussion at the Hall, delegate Chamaléa Thi Thuy, member of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee, and the National Assembly Delegation of Ninh Thuan province agreed with the need to consider amending the Law on Employment to ensure consistency in the legal system on employment policy, while orienting the development of the labor market in accordance with the needs and economic development trends in the country, the region and the world. Contributing opinions on the draft Law on Employment, delegate Chamaléa Thi Thuy recommended that the drafting agency consider supplementing and amending a number of issues as follows:

Firstly, it is necessary to review and research to supplement the draft Law with regulations to ensure responsibility for state management of employment. In Chapter VIII, which regulates state management of employment, including 3 Articles: from Article 90 to Article 92, the drafting agency needs to continue to research and supplement, because the provisions in the draft Law do not clearly define responsibility.

Delegate Chamaléa Thi Thuy, member of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Commission, National Assembly Delegation of Ninh Thuan province spoke at the discussion at the Hall.

Clause 4, Article 90 stipulates the content of state management of employment as "Inspection, investigation, settlement of complaints, denunciations and handling of violations of the law on employment". However, through studying the draft Law, only the policy on unemployment insurance has provisions on complaints, denunciations and handling of violations (in Section 10, Chapter VII), but how will other policies be resolved if there are violations?

Second, it is necessary to study and supplement measures to handle violations of policies and laws on employment. The draft Law has stipulated many policies related to employment, but as mentioned above, the determination of state management responsibilities for employment according to the draft Law is very general and there are no regulations on how to handle violations of laws on employment. Delegate Chamaléa Thi Thuy proposed to study and supplement the draft Law with forms of handling violations of laws to perfect the state management function on employment.

Third, the issue of Unemployment Insurance. At point d, clause 3, Article 60 of the draft Law stipulates that the unemployment insurance payment period is not retained to calculate unemployment benefits for the next time: "Unemployment insurance payment period is over 144 months". At clause 2, Article 65 of the draft Law stipulates: "The unemployment benefit period is calculated based on the number of months of unemployment insurance payment. For every 12 months to 36 months of payment, you will receive 03 months of unemployment benefits. After that, for every additional 12 months of payment, you will receive 01 more month of unemployment benefits, but not more than 12 months".

Delegate Chamaléa Thi Thuy recommended that the drafting agency should review and re-study these regulations because the provisions in the draft Law will cause disadvantages for those who have paid unemployment insurance for a longer period (over 144 months); it should be adjusted in the direction that employees will receive unemployment insurance equivalent to the payment period (for every additional 12 months of payment, they will receive an additional month of unemployment benefits); or if the regulation "for every additional 12 months of payment, they will receive an additional month of unemployment benefits, but not exceeding 12 months" is still maintained, it is necessary to stipulate that the payment period of unemployment insurance for over 144 months will be reserved to calculate unemployment benefits for the next time, as mentioned by delegates in Dong Thap and Binh Phuoc ; thus, the regulation will be more appropriate, ensuring the maximum legitimate rights of those who pay unemployment insurance, which is "paying, receiving" in a proportionate manner.

Delegate Chamaléa Thi Thuy said that this is one of the issues that workers are really concerned about, because it directly affects the lives of workers, especially those who are unemployed and in difficult times.
