Rights of the team of accountants, clerks, and librarians of schools when subject to dismissal
Reader Anh Linh (Hanoi) asked: "What allowances do school staff who are subject to dismissal due to arrangement receive, and what are their social insurance benefits?
Answering the question of Lao Dong Newspaper readers, Lawyer Hoang Ha (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) said: If school staff (accountants, clerical staff, school libraries...) are subject to streamlining and immediate resignation, according to Clause 1, Article 8 of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP, they will enjoy two main benefits:
Including a 3-month current salary allowance for job search and a 1.5-month current salary allowance for each year of work with compulsory social insurance (BHXH) contributions.
Regarding social insurance, the paid time is not lost. Dismissed people are allowed to choose to preserve the compulsory social insurance contribution time so that it can be added later when they continue to participate or are eligible to receive a pension, or can receive one-time social insurance benefits if they meet the conditions of the law on social insurance.
For unemployment insurance, this is an independent regime from the above-mentioned streamlined allowance. Civil servants working under labor contracts are subject to unemployment insurance (BHTN) according to Article 31 of the 2025 Employment Law.
If at the time of resignation, unemployment insurance has been paid for 12 months in the 24 months before retirement and meets the conditions in Article 38, then unemployment benefits can still be enjoyed. The monthly benefit level is equal to 60% of the average unemployment insurance salary paid in the last 6 months, the maximum benefit period is 12 months.
Thus, redundant people can simultaneously enjoy streamlining policies and UI benefits if they meet the legal conditions.
