To be specific:, employees will receive an increase in convalescence and health rehabilitation benefits after illness according to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 29 of the Law on Social Insurance 2014.

According to Clause 3, Article 29 of the 2014 Social Insurance Law, employees are entitled to convalescence and health rehabilitation benefits after illness. The daily benefit rate will be 30% of the statutory pay rate.

Furthermore, Decree 72/2018/ND-CP, which took effect on July 1, 2018, stipulates an increase in the statutory pay rate from 1.3 million VND/month to 1.39 million VND/month.

Therefore, from July 1, 2018, employees will receive increased convalescence and health rehabilitation benefits after illness, with the specific daily benefit amounting to 417,000 VND/day. The number of days the employee takes for convalescence will be multiplied by this daily rate.

The conditions for receiving convalescence and health rehabilitation benefits are stipulated in Clause 1, Article 7 of Circular 59/2015/TT-BLDTBXH:

“Employees who have received illness benefits for at least 30 days in a year, including those with diseases listed in the Ministry of Health's long-term treatment list, and whose health has not yet recovered within the first 30 days of returning to work, are entitled to convalescence and health rehabilitation leave as stipulated in Article 29 of the Social Insurance Law."
