However, in the reality of the locality, the implementing and applying Social Insurance Law still have a lot of shortcomings as well as inappropriate regulations.

On behalf of Committee on Social Affairs, Ms. Mai acknowledged efforts pf Dongnai Social Insurance in implementing social policy. Compared with the country’s social insurance, Dongnai Social Insurance has got a lot of progress in term of dealing with regime for labors. As to Ms. Mai, Social Insurance Law has been in effect for over one year. In deployment process, there are still a lot of inappropriate matters, but they will be repaired day by day, basing on reality.

The first thing is to reconsider where the shortcomings come from, due to ineffectiveness of law or mechanism. Anyhow, right of labors should take priority. Besides, it is necessary to balance right of employees and employers in order to ensure  serious enforcement of Social Insurance Law for both employees and employers. She also said that keeping 2% of social insurance fund to pay labors was a humane regulation and should be implemented thoroughly. However, in reality, units should be flexible when unexpected problems come up by advancing labors some money.
