If employees are retired but still working, will they still receive retirement pension in Vietnam?
My father is retired and is on pension, but because of boredom, he signed a employment contract with a business and went to work again. Will my father still receive retirement pension in Vietnam or not?
If employees are retired but still working, will they still receive retirement pension in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Article 149 of the 2019 Labor Code, there are regulations on employment of elderly people as follows:
1. When an elderly person is employed, both parties may agree on conclusion of multiple fixed-term employment contracts.
2. In case a person who is receiving retirement pension under the Law on Social Insurance enters into a new employment contract, he/she shall receive salary and other benefits prescribed by law and the employment contract in addition to the benefits to which they are entitled under the pension scheme.
3. Employer must not assign elderly employees to do laborious, toxic or dangerous works, or highly laborious, toxic or dangerous works that are harmful to their health, unless safety is ensured.
4. Employers are responsible for taking care of the health of elderly employees at the workplace.
Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, retired employees who are receiving retirement pensions still have the right to sign employment contracts. However, retired employees will still be entitled to retirement pensions and other benefits as prescribed by law.
Best Regards!
