1. Social Insurance
Social insurance is a form of social insurance organized by the State to ensure the replacement or compensation of a portion of the income of workers when they are reduced or lost due to illness, maternity, occupational accidents, occupational diseases, retirement, or death, based on contributions to the social insurance fund.
There are two forms of participation in social insurance: mandatory and voluntary. However, to enjoy maternity benefits when giving birth, it is only available in the mandatory social insurance form. This type of insurance requires both employees and employers to participate. If you work for a company, you will be covered by social insurance, with both employees and employers contributing. You will receive full benefits as regulated by the State. Maternity benefits for giving birth are one of the benefits that female workers are entitled to when they fully and correctly contribute to the social insurance fund according to the Social Insurance Law.
The conditions for enjoying maternity benefits for expectant mothers are to contribute to social insurance for at least 06 months within the 12 months before giving birth. The social insurance contribution rate is 34%, with employees (for example, pregnant women) contributing 10.5%, and the rest contributed by employers is 23.5%. The mandatory monthly social insurance contribution is not less than the minimum regional salary. Normally, employees will contribute at the rate of the latest minimum regional salary, which is currently 4,180,000 VND (Region I). The specific contribution amount deducted from the salary is 4,180,000 x 10.5% = 438,900 VND.
Thus, female workers when giving birth not only have the right to take a 6-month maternity leave but also enjoy maternity benefits when giving birth: The benefit amount for one month is equal to 100% of the average monthly salary that was contributed to social insurance for 6 months before taking maternity leave. For example, the average salary for the 6 months before maternity leave is 4,180,000 VND, so when giving birth, the expectant mother receives maternity benefits of social insurance, which is 4,180,000 x 6 = 25,080,000 VND.
Furthermore, in social insurance, there are sickness, healthcare benefits, so expectant mothers still enjoy sickness and hospitalization benefits and medical examinations throughout the pregnancy.
