According to the list of Hanoi Social Insurance, as of the end of June 2026, there have been over 23,800 units and businesses evading social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance with amounts of thousands of billions of VND.
The fact that units and businesses do not pay social insurance, health insurance, and unemployment insurance has caused great damage to hundreds of thousands of workers.
Leading the list of units and businesses evading social insurance is Lilama3 Joint Stock Company (Dong Ngac ward, Hanoi City) evading social insurance for 51 employees, with an amount of more than 49.7 billion VND. Next is Cau 12 Joint Stock Company (Phuc Loi ward, Hanoi City) evading more than 30 billion VND.

Previously, on May 23, Lao Dong Newspaper had an article "Over 23,800 enterprises are late in paying social insurance for more than 2,205 billion VND". The content of the article mentioned the case of Mr. Nguyen Van Hoa (Phu Tho) being late in paying social insurance by Lilama 3 Joint Stock Company for nearly 7 years, with the amount of 194 million VND.
In July 1997, Mr. Hoa signed a working contract with Lilama 7 Company in Da Nang, then in June 2006 transferred to Lilama 3 Company (in Phu Tho) - later the company moved to Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi. In February 2022, Mr. Hoa terminated his labor contract with Lilama 3 Company. However, he did not receive his social insurance book.
According to Mr. Hoa, in the same situation as him, there are also many colleagues who are late in paying social insurance, so they struggle to make a living. To claim benefits for himself and his colleagues, he has repeatedly come to LILAMA 3 Joint Stock Company to request leaders to implement regimes for employees who have terminated their contracts; and at the same time sent petitions for help to functional agencies but without results...
On July 14, when informed by Lao Dong Newspaper reporters: Lilama3 Joint Stock Company is currently "leading" the list of units and businesses evading social insurance contributions in Hanoi, Mr. Hoa said: "After terminating the contract, I have repeatedly requested the leaders of Lilama 3 Company to finalize and return social insurance books, but the company's leaders always postpone and promise to pay social insurance money. But up to now, that promise has not been fulfilled by the company's leaders. We are all elderly people, who have contributed a lot to the unit, but now because the company evades social insurance contributions, many people have fallen into difficult circumstances. If functional agencies do not have strong measures, we will certainly not enjoy our legitimate rights.
Talking to a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Duong Thi Minh Chau - Head of the Propaganda and Support Department for Social Insurance Participants of Hanoi City - said: The 2024 Social Insurance Law, effective from July 1, 2025, has supplemented many regulations to strengthen sanctions for acts of late payment and evasion of social insurance contributions. Regarding the act of evasion, there are also strong measures to prosecute criminal liability according to the provisions of law.
Specifically:
* Article 38 stipulates that late payment of compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance is the act of the employer in one of the following cases:
Have not paid or have not paid in full the amount to be paid according to the dossier for compulsory social insurance, unemployment insurance registered from the latest date of social insurance payment specified in Clause 4, Article 34 of this Law or from the latest date of unemployment insurance payment according to the provisions of the law on unemployment insurance, except for the cases specified in Points d and e, Clause 1, Article 39.
Failing to register or register incompletely the number of people who must participate in compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance within 60 days from the end of the prescribed period.
Belonging to the case not considered evading compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance according to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 39 of this Law.
* Article 39 stipulates that evasion of compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance is the act of the employer in one of the following cases of not paying or not fully paying social insurance and unemployment insurance for employees:
After 60 days from the expiration date specified in Clause 1, Article 28 of this Law, if the employer does not register or does not fully register the number of people who must participate in compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance;
Registering salaries as the basis for compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance contributions lower than the provisions of Clause 1, Article 31 of this Law;
Failing to pay or paying incompletely the amount registered for compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance within 60 days from the latest compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance payment date specified in Clause 4, Article 34 of this Law and having been urged by a competent authority in accordance with the provisions of Article 35 of this Law;
Other cases are considered evading compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance according to the Government's regulations.
The 2024 Law on Social Insurance has assigned the Government to detail Article 39 on evasion of compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance and stipulate cases of evasion but with legitimate reasons that are not considered evasion of compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance.
* Articles 40 and 41 stipulate measures to handle acts of late payment and evasion of compulsory social insurance and unemployment insurance as follows:
It is mandatory to pay the full amount of late payment and evasion; pay an amount equal to 0.03%/day calculated on the amount of late payment and evasion of social insurance and unemployment insurance and the number of days of late payment and evasion into the social insurance fund and unemployment insurance fund.
Administrative violations are handled according to the provisions of law; no consideration is given to awarding emulation titles or forms of commendation.
Regarding the act of evading contributions, there are also strong measures to prosecute criminal liability according to the provisions of law.
