Cambodia: Labor Law Amendment on ‘Seniority Payment’

On July 11, 2018, Cambodia passed an amendment to the Labor Law that eliminates “indemnity for dismissal”—a local legal concept equivalent to a severance payment—for undetermined duration contracts (i.e., employment contracts without a fixed expiration date, or UDCs), and replaces it with an ongoing requirement for employers to pay employees a new “seniority payment.” These amendments affect undetermined duration contracts, and may also affect fixed-term contracts (i.e., employment contracts with a fixed expiration date).

Vietnam: Foreign Employees Required to Participate In Compulsory Social Insurance

The Vietnamese government issued a ruling on October 15th, 2018 that highlights a new regulation on compulsory social insurance applicable to all foreign employees, decree No. 143.  Initially, the 2014 Social Insurance Law indicated that international workers only be permitted (not required) to participate in Vietnam’s Social Insurance as of 1st January 2018.

The vagueness of this regulation is what raised concerns as to the scope of Social Insurance by foreign employees- is it compulsory or is it optional?
