Need a suitable financial plan between driving technology and business
Talk more with Reporter Dan VietMember of the National Assembly Pham Van Hoa, member of the National Assembly’s Law Committee, said that nowadays, not only technology drivers but all employees in any business, employees are entitled to the right policies. Social Security is essential.
Member of the National Assembly Pham Van Hoa said that it is very necessary for employees to enjoy social security policies.
However, this delegate wondered whether businesses want to pay insurance for employees or not, there are businesses with thousands of workers, but whether that business will buy insurance for thousands of workers or not. ?
According to delegate Hoa, as employees working anywhere, they also want their rights to be guaranteed, even technology car drivers also want to have insurance. However, whether the business and the company agree or not, or if so, how the company will calculate the cost from the driver so that the driver agrees and responds to paying insurance.
From the above analysis, delegate Hoa believes that there is a need for inspection from the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, the health agency, the state management agency on labor (the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs)… in amending the Law. Recently, many National Assembly deputies have expressed their opinions on ensuring the rights of workers in enterprises and establishing trade unions in enterprises.
“Therefore, a binding and mandatory mechanism for employees to buy social insurance and businesses to have the responsibility to contribute insurance to society is a very important issue,” delegate Hoa emphasized.
Agreeing with delegate Hoa, Member of the XIII National Assembly Bui Thi An very welcomes proposals and recommendations of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. The Constitution stipulates that everyone has equal rights driving technology are also Vietnamese citizens, for many reasons they do not have the conditions to work in state agencies, large enterprises … so this proposal of welfare policy is very good, demonstrating the humane policy of our state that is ” leaving no one behind”, giving them peace of mind to work.
According to Ms. An, currently, motorbike taxi drivers have a large number and also serve society in the condition that public transport is not enough, so this proposal is of great significance.
Regarding how to put the proposal into practice, Ms. An said that it is advisable to review and re-evaluate the number of drivers, follow the drivers closely, to ensure the right support, hit the target, the target… If they are supported, they will be excited and work better.
The above proposal, based on the results of the study “Surveying the current situation and enhancing the participation of driving technology Grab access to social security programs, improve working conditions”, implemented by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor in collaboration with the Center for Health Consulting and Community Development.
