On May 29, 2020, the Government issues the Decree No. 61/2020/ND-CP on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Government’s Decree No. 28/2015/ND-CP dated March 12, 2015 on detailing a number of articles of the Law on Employment regarding unemployment insurance.
Accordingly, the Government supplements many types of documents to be used in the dossier of request for unemployment allowance. To be specific: in addition to the labor contract or the decision on work cessation, a worker may submit an original or a certified true copy or a copy enclosed with an original for comparison of one of the following documents to certify about the termination of a labor contract or working contract:
Firstly, the confirmation of an employer, which contains specific contents on information about the worker; type of the signed labor contract; reason and time of termination of a labor contract with the worker.
Secondly, the confirmation of the competent State agency about the dissolution or bankruptcy of an enterprise or a cooperative or the decision on dismissal or demotion of titles appointed in case the worker is the manager of the enterprise or cooperative.
Especially, if the worker does not have documents confirming the termination of the labor contract because the unit employing such worker has no legal representative and the person authorized by the legal representative, the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs or the provincial Social Security shall send a written request to the Department of Planning and Investment for certifying and response about the above-mentioned contents within 10 working days.
This Decree takes effect on July 15, 2020.
