Labor Federation said, 00:02:42.022 --> 00:02:45.002 In the past time, in the face of prolonged hot weather in the area, 00:02:45.342 --> 00:02:48.557 potential risks affecting the health, labor

00:02:53.802 --> 00:02:56.718 working conditions, implementing measures to prevent and combat heat 00:02:56.718 --> 00:02:58.662 waves for union members and workers. 00:02:59.122 --> 00:03:02.821 Among them, some companies used fire trucks to spray water onto the roofs of 00:03:02.821 --> 00:03:04.142 factories to keep workers warm. 00:03:04.542 --> 00:03:07.782 at the same time buying lemon, sugar and ice to make cooling water, 00:03:08.082 --> 00:03:10.662 brought directly to production workshops to serve workers. 00:03:13.065 --> 00:03:15.821 Ladies and gentlemen, reducing the minimum social insurance contribution 00:03:15.821 --> 00:03:18.885 period to reduce pensions from 20 years to 15 years 00:03:18.885 --> 00:03:22.756 According to the 2024 Social Insurance Law, it is attracting many people to 00:03:22.756 --> 00:03:24.245 participate in voluntary social insurance. 00:03:24.605 --> 00:03:25.945 The following is a reporter's record. 00:03:27.666 --> 00:03:31.874 The 2024 Law on Social Insurance has many important new points contributing 00:03:31.874 --> 00:03:35.732 to expanding the benefits and increasing the attractiveness of voluntary social 00:03:35.732 --> 00:03:37.486 insurance policies for self-employed workers. 00:03:37.626 --> 00:03:41.980 Ms. Ho Thi Thanh Ha in Kim Lien ward said that after learning and being 00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:44.883 consulted about the benefits of voluntary social insurance, she found 00:03:44.883 --> 00:03:47.786 that the new policy is suitable for her own conditions. 00:03:47.786 --> 00:03:51.109 In particular, the minimum social insurance contribution period to receive 00:03:51.109 --> 00:03:55.763 a pension is reduced from 20 years to 15 years, creating conditions for many 00:03:55.763 --> 00:04:00.084 people with not long participation to still have the opportunity to receive a 00:04:00.084 --> 00:04:01.746 pension when reaching retirement age. 00:04:02.063 --> 00:04:05.001 If I don't participate in social insurance now, like this society in old 00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:06.583 age, I may not have a pension. 00:04:07.003 --> 00:04:11.043 And when my working health is still there, I will have no other infusions. 00:04:11.523 --> 00:04:16.070 Before, I knew that social insurance for 20 years was just right, now it's about 00:04:16.070 --> 00:04:17.283 15 years, just right. 00:04:17.283 --> 00:04:22.689 Then I think this policy is very good for people, because they are older 00:04:22.689 --> 00:04:27.323 people, if they want to buy social insurance, they can also participate. 00:04:27.843 --> 00:04:29.043 Because after 15 years, he was also taken. 00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:33.464 Over the past time, Dong Da Social Insurance has coordinated with wards, 00:04:33.464 --> 00:04:36.272 collecting service organizations and associations and unions to implement 00:04:36.272 --> 00:04:39.080 many forms of propaganda suitable for each target group. 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.597 Propaganda work focuses on freelancers, individual business households, small 00:04:42.597 --> 00:04:46.260 traders and those who have never participated in compulsory social insurance. 00:04:46.545 --> 00:04:50.605 Looking at it from a long-term perspective, voluntary contributions are 00:04:50.605 --> 00:04:54.665 a practical social security policy for the pioneers of freedom. 00:04:55.745 --> 00:05:00.505 Currently, this policy is being further improved in the direction of expanding benefits, 00:05:00.505 --> 00:05:05.197 especially supporting maternity benefits and reducing the minimum number of 00:05:05.197 --> 00:05:06.605 years of contribution, 00:05:07.385 --> 00:05:09.565 that is from 20 years down to 15 years. 00:05:09.565 --> 00:05:15.782 Therefore, the first person should proactively learn carefully about social 00:05:15.782 --> 00:05:17.025 insurance policies. 00:05:17.025 --> 00:05:20.725 to choose a contribution level that suits your conditions 00:05:20.725 --> 00:05:25.685 and gradually prepare long-term social security resources for the future. 00:05:26.528 --> 00:05:31.143 With the new points according to the 2024 Social Insurance Law, along with 00:05:31.143 --> 00:05:33.628 promoting propaganda and direct counseling at facilities, 00:05:34.088 --> 00:05:37.240 The voluntary social insurance policy is creating more motivation for 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.077 self-employed workers to participate, contributing to ensuring social security 00:05:40.077 --> 00:05:41.968 and stabilizing life after old age. 00:05:43.812 --> 00:05:46.789 Ladies and gentlemen, in today's legal advice, there is a question from a 00:05:46.789 --> 00:05:48.392 reader sent to the program as follows. 00:05:48.912 --> 00:05:53.440 What is the responsibility of local authorities in ensuring full and timely 00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:56.082 payment of allowances for non-specialized commune-level officials 00:05:56.082 --> 00:05:57.592 who quit their jobs? 00:05:58.032 --> 00:06:01.434 Lawyer Dao Nguyen Thuat, Hanoi Bar Association, will have answers to 00:06:01.434 --> 00:06:02.672 this issue right after. 00:06:04.015 --> 00:06:07.631 Also according to Decree 154-2025 of the Government, local agencies are 00:06:07.631 --> 00:06:10.260 responsible for organizing the implementation of streamlining staffing 00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:11.575

00:06:21.809 and this implementation must ensure compliance with regulations to prevent 00:06:21.809 --> 00:06:23.695 shortcomings and delays in payment. 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:30.620 We will continue
