Recently, Lawyer Nguyen Trung Tin, Managing Director of Tin & Associates Law Firm, shared his insights with Thanh Nien News regarding a concerning reality: Many young employees remain unclear about their statutory rights and obligations concerning Social Insurance (SI) and Health Insurance (HI). This knowledge gap inadvertently creates loopholes that leave workers in a disadvantaged position within the employer-employee relationship. A prime example is the controversy surrounding employers withholding wages to “pressure” employees into insurance contributions - an act that Lawyer Tin affirms is inconsistent with current labor regulations.
Through the interview, Lawyer Tin stated: “The law does not permit employers to arbitrarily withhold employee wages as a form of ‘security’ for other obligations, including insurance contributions”. He further noted that a comprehensive understanding of insurance regimes not only helps young professionals protect their financial interests but also serves as the foundation for building a sustainable and secure career.
“Any outstanding insurance obligations, if any, should be resolved through reconciliation mechanisms, arrears collection, or clear mutual agreements, rather than serving as a pretext for delaying or refusing wage payments”, Lawyer Nguyen Trung Tin emphasized.
