In which, the prevention phase: Hanoi Social Insurance exchanges guidelines, policies, and violations of the law (if any), focusing on effective propaganda by inviting businesses that delay, are slow to pay, or evade social insurance and health insurance contributions (not yet administratively sanctioned for evading social insurance and health insurance contributions) to work and propagate the provisions of Article 214, Article 215, Article 216 of the 2015 Penal Code as well as laws on social insurance and health insurance. Before transferring dossiers to the Police Agency, Social Insurance provides information, exchanges and works with Hanoi Police to classify and handle them.
Handling stage: Hanoi City Social Insurance, grassroots Social Insurance and Hanoi City Inspectorate, during inspection and examination, detect cases of law violations, signs of criminal offenses of evading social insurance and health insurance contributions (employers who have been administratively sanctioned for evading social insurance and health insurance contributions but continue to show signs of evading social insurance and health insurance contributions), then transfer the file to the investigating agency to propose initiating a criminal case according to their authority.
Social insurance is responsible for completing dossiers and documents to transfer to the Police agency for units that have acts of evading social insurance contributions for employees.
Hanoi City Police investigate and prosecute cases of evasion of social insurance contributions transferred by social insurance agencies; coordinate with the Procuracy and the City People's Court to urgently prosecute and try to deter and prevent violations.
