How Much Time Should Pass After Quitting a Job to Finalize Social Insurance Book?

According to Clause 3, Article 48 of the 2019 Labor Code, the responsibilities of the employer after the termination of the contract are as follows:

- Complete the procedures for confirming the period of social insurance and unemployment insurance contributions, and return the original documents if the employer has kept them on behalf of the employee;

- Provide copies of documents related to the employee's working process if requested by the employee. The cost of copying and sending the documents is borne by the employer.

Thus, based on the above regulations, the company will have the responsibility to confirm the period of social insurance and unemployment insurance contributions for you. However, there is currently no specific regulation regarding the maximum time the company must finalize the insurance for the employee. In practice, the finalization of social insurance usually takes about one month after the termination of the labor contract.

In your case, if after one month you have not yet had your insurance finalized, you can lodge a complaint with the company's Director or the District Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs Office where the company is headquartered to seek resolution.

Best regards!
