Recently, Social Security Offices of provinces and centrally-run cities (hereinafter referred to as provincial Social Security Offices) have adhered to directions of Vietnam Social Security and taken different solutions to urge the collection and reduction of the amount of late payment of social insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance premiums (hereinafter referred to as social insurance). To be specific: disseminating the interests, obligations and rights of participating in social insurance for employers and employees; sending a notice on social insurance contribution results on a monthly basis; assigning officers to strictly follow and grasp information about the enterprises’ operation, production and business, especially those with large number of employees and huge revenues; actively analyzing collected data to promptly detect cases with abnormal signs on the number of employees, the salary used as a basis for social insurance contribution; conducting inspection and examination of units with outstanding debts of 3 months or more; reporting to the party committees and local government on the contribution of social insurance by enterprises in the localities, etc. Therefore, by the end of 2022, the late payment rate of such units accounted for only 2.91% of the receivable sum, which is the lowest rate of late payment ever.
