GUIDE ON PROCEDURES FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

When quitting, the employee will receive a resignation decision and the social insurance book has been closed up to the time of resignation from the Company.
1. Application time:
You have to register to receive Unemployment benefit within 3 months from the leaving date. (Unemployment insurance contributions were paid for at least 12 months or more before being unemployed.)
Example: Leaving in July 15, 2019 → October 15, 2019 is the deadline to apply.
(After 3 months, if you don’t apply, it will be no longer valid to receive the benefit.)
✽ Note: In case of not applying for unemployment benefits, the period of paying unemployment insurance will be reserved (not lost). When you start a new company, sign an official contract, continue to pay unemployment insurance and then leave the job, you can apply for unemployment benefits again. Â
2. How to calculate unemployment benefit:
| Monthly unemployment benefit | = | The average salary in six months before being unemployed | x | 60% |
|---|
3. Unemployment benefit duration:
Unemployment benefit duration is calculated by the number of months of contribution to Unemployment insurance.
| Contribution time | Unemployment benefit duration |
|---|---|
| From 12 months to 36 months | 3 months |
| From 4 years to under 5 years | 4 months |
| From 5 years to under 6 years | 5 months |
| ... | ... |
| Above 12 years | 12 months |
The remaining time (the number of odd months) will be reserved as a basis for calculating the unemployment benefit duration for the next time.
✽ Note: Maximum value cannot be accumulated for more than 12 consecutive months.
