Nearly 58,000 turns of labour benefit

As of July 19, the People’s Committee in Bac Giang city and districts of Viet Yen, Yen Dung and Hiep Hoa where industrial parks are located received proposals from 383 turns of companies to support more than 121,700 turns of labours with total amount of nearly 61.7 billion VND (2.6 million USD).

Staff instructs housing rent support policy for workers at SungWoo Vina Company Limited in Dinh Tram industrial park.

After verification, localities approved for 302 turns of businesses to support more than 104,800 turns of labours with total payment of nearly 53 billion VND. Now, nearly 58,000 turns of employees benefited from the Decision with total paid amount of nearly 29.3 billion VND.

Though the supported amount was not much and only in short period, it helped labours ease the difficulties. The survey showed that Bac Giang has more than 190 turns of labours benefiting from this policy with estimated payment of about 100 billion VND.

Vice Head of the provincial Industrial Park Management Board (IPMB) Nguyen Xuan Ngoc said the implementation progress in Bac Giang is much higher than many provinces and cities nationwide. Now nearly 60 percent of approved cases have received the payment.

However, there remain several difficulties to review and make the list of beneficial cases, complete the companies’ document before sending to Social Insurance for confirming and People’s Committee of districts and city for verifying. Thus, many workers still wait for approval or payment though they submitted document early or were approved.

The implementation was delayed due to many reasons, mostly prolong verification time, wrong data in labour proposal such as address of boarding house, name, identification number, bank account leading to request for supplementation and adjustment several times.

Moreover, some businesses with many labours in the approved list want to save the bank transfer charge so they decide to pay for the labour after two or three months.

Actively removing obstacles and prioritizing disbursement

To facilitate the verification process and speed up implementation schedule, since early May, the provincial People’s Committee decided to authorize district level to approve for the list and supported expense. The Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (DoLISA) established inspection group to seize the execution progress at localities to timely urge them; assigned two staff in charge of Viet Yen district; operated hotline to answer any arising issues so as to speed up the document handling schedule.

Vice Head of DoLISA Tran Van Ha said: “The first and most important step is to receive and sum up the proposal list from business to Social Insurance. Thus, DoLISA continues cooperating with IPMB and provincial Social Insurance to effectively maintain five standing groups at 5 industrial parks, regularly support to timely remove the obstacles from companies, prevent submitting huge volume of document at the same time as well as pressuring organizations in verification that results in disbursement delay”.

Particularly, localities need to balance the budget, prioritize the source for timely payment and share the difficulties with the labour when waiting for the Central expense allocation.

August 15, 2022 will be the deadline for proposal submission so all sectors, localities and enterprises must accelerate to complete the document. The trade union, districts and city should boost up communication and request owners of boarding houses to collaborate and facilitate workers to complete the document as regulation.
