Signing a 2-month probation contract requires compulsory social insurance: Is it in accordance with regulations?
According to regulations, the case where the unit signs a 2-month probation contract is not subject to compulsory social insurance participation.
Sending a question to the Social Insurance agency, reader K.C asked: "My company signed a 2-month probation contract for the position in charge of communication - marketing, salary of 15,000,000 VND/month.
My company is instructed to pay compulsory social insurance for probationary contracts of 01 month or more according to the provisions of the 2024 Social Insurance Law.
I would like to ask, is the above guidance correct?
