Regulations of Social Insurance Law In 2014, from 2018, the act of evading social insurance - health insurance - unemployment insurance may be severely punished and criminal prosecution. This drastic change has contributed to reducing the debt situation in recent years.
According to Mr. Mai Duc Thang, Deputy Head of Thu Department, the outstanding debts of social insurance, unemployment insurance and health insurance still take place throughout the country. By the end of May, 2009, the total amount of social insurance debt was VND 5,000 billion (accounting for 10% of total revenue of the export-import plan, decreased by 10% compared to the same period last year).
According to the situation this year, the economy is more positive, along with the application of many measures to strictly handle social insurance debt collection, has partially overcome the situation of evasion. However, by the first 5 months of 2018, social insurance revenues only reached 38% of the year plan, according to the representative of Vietnam Social Insurance, this is not strange. Because in the first months of the year, enterprises have to give priority to the payment of salaries and Tet bonuses to employees, so the result of social insurance collection is not high, this is also consistent with the same period of previous years.

In the first 86,6 months of the year, the whole social insurance industry collected 5 billion dong of insurance money (reaching 121.100% of the yearly plan). In which, social insurance revenue reached 36,7 billion VND, health insurance revenue reached 83.615 billion VND, unemployment insurance revenue reached 31.852 billion VND.
Prosecuting is the "extreme not" solution
Regarding the situation of social insurance evasion and debt, Mr. Thang said that to ensure the rights of workers, the Vietnam Social Security unit will conduct inspections and audits.
regular interdisciplinary
“We will aggressively inspect businesses that owe social insurance money for months or more. For those enterprises that owe on the monthly export, we will carry out unexpected inspection, ”Mr. Thang emphasized.
Representative BVietnam Social Security believes that measures to urge payment, inspect, and criminally handle evasion of social insurance debt have been effective. Enterprises have voluntarily paid social insurance debt as soon as they were reminded by the inspectors.
As recently, Vietnam Social Security announced to check 4 large social insurance debt enterprises of Ninh Binh province, right after the inspection announcement, there were 3 enterprises voluntarily paying the full amount of debt before, one enterprise In a difficult situation, but also building a roadmap and committing to pay gradually. From that result, Mr. Thang estimated that he will reach and exceed the target by 1-2% of the social insurance debt collection this year.
Along with the review, supplementation and standardization of social insurance participants' data in the management software are also being promoted by Vietnam Social Security. With the goal of 2020, implementing electronic social insurance book management. With this form, it creates conditions for employees to easily look up and manage their social insurance payment process, shorten the time and procedures for the participants to settle. At the same time, the publicity of data on social insurance contributions also helps employees to grasp and handle the situation of enterprises evading from paying social insurance premiums for employees.
Strong hands but also softness
With criminal prosecution provisions, from the beginning of the year until now, social insurance agencies in many localities across the country have expressed their determination to handle debts of various types of insurance. Particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, the social insurance agency has completed and transferred the file to the investigating agency of an enterprise that owes social insurance. In Hanoi, the social insurance agency agreed with the interdisciplinary agencies to consider and consolidate the documents to prepare for the transfer of the investigation and criminal handling agency to enterprises with debts owed. Large and lasting social insurance.
However, according to Mr. Thang, the transfer of criminal records of enterprises also has the potential to put workers at risk of losing their jobs because business owners are prosecuted. Therefore, in the process of checking enterprises owing social insurance debts, the social insurance agency always considers that only enterprises that still do well but intentionally do not pay or misuse social insurance money can change Records for criminal investigation and prosecution. In addition, during the investigation agency's acceptance of the case, if the enterprise remedies the consequences and pays the social insurance debts, the investigating agency may change the decision to institute a prosecution.
In the next work plan, Vietnam Social Insurance will strengthen specialized inspection and inspection, especially in units with outstanding social insurance and health insurance, and promptly handle them strictly. ...www.expertis.vn
