The National Assembly Standing Committee has given opinions on the draft Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Vietnamese workers going to work abroad under contract.
According to the Government's Submission, the amendment and supplementation of the Law on Vietnamese Workers going to work abroad under contract in the current context is an urgent requirement, with profound political and practical significance.
The amendments and supplements are aimed at perfecting the institution, arranging the organizational structure, promoting decentralization, delegation of power and digital transformation in state management.
In addition, the amendment of the Law also aims to unlock and maximally liberate social resources, solve "bottlenecks" caused by regulations that are no longer appropriate; create a transparent and open legal corridor to improve the quality of Vietnamese human resources through accessing the high-level labor market abroad.
At the same time, improve the competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises in the international labor supply market. This is one of the important driving forces contributing to the successful implementation of the "double-digit" economic growth target.
The amendment of this Law also does not generate new administrative procedures; abolishes 5/19 administrative procedures; cuts and simplifies 6/19 administrative procedures, cuts 34% of compliance costs for people and businesses...
The summary report of the preliminary thẩm tra of this draft law clearly states that the Standing Committee of the Committee for Culture and Social Affairs requests the drafting agency to review and supplement regulations strictly prohibiting acts of false counseling, fraudulent counseling or providing false information to deceive workers; study more general regulations on prohibited work related to fine customs and social ethics.
At the same time, it is necessary to study and supplement regulations on the time limit for re-issuing Licenses for businesses whose licenses are revoked; review regulations assigning the Government to detail the conditions of professional staff, ensuring that new investment and business conditions do not arise outside the scope of the Law.
Some opinions suggested supplementing conditions on the ability to protect and support workers, especially workers in high-risk markets, high-risk industries, and areas receiving many Vietnamese workers.
The Standing Committee of the Committee for Culture and Social Affairs also proposed to review and clearly stipulate the agency that resolves administrative procedures and the responsibilities of specialized agencies in the process of resolving dossiers for licensing applications and dossiers for registering internship labor contracts; continue to decentralize and delegate power in resolving administrative procedures.
Another issue is to continue to review and improve regulations on management mechanisms, update databases to ensure accurate and timely information.
It is proposed to maintain the responsibility of enterprises in guiding employees to participate in social insurance; study more specific regulations on the deadline or criteria for fulfilling reporting obligations, or assign the Government to specify details.
