The Social Security Board clears the claims for compensation for temporary closure of business on April 14 Force Majeure After the ordinance, deciding that 500,000 workers are within the scope of merit, receive 9,300 baht for 3 months. He feared the situation, persuading the need to raise money to help “Mom Tao” to suggest the internal management of money in his pocket. The future point must adjust the role of the Social Security Fund.
R. Jatumongkol Sonakul, Minister of Labor Revealed “business of nations” that the virus epidemic, Covid-19 severely affecting the economy and the business sector. Many establishments have to close the business. And there are a significant number of unemployed Especially workers in the social security system under Section 33 and Article 40 who have to stop due to the establishment. Employers have to temporarily close the business due to fewer clients. Or they do not have clients, so they decided to stop operating to reduce the cost burden such as labor in tourism and related companies. Those who still have problems without receiving compensation from the Social Security Fund Due to being seen as the closure of the business due to force majeure In addition, the state has not temporarily closed due to force majeure. Therefore, you cannot apply for a remedy for the Social Security Fund to pay unemployment benefits at 62% of wages until operations resume, but no later than 90 days as specified.
Definitely pay for force majeure
However, on April 14, 2020, there will be a meeting of the Social Security Committee (Board) to help treat unemployed workers. Or you have to temporarily stop the Covid-19 group outbreak, with the following issues to consider:
It is 1) if Covid-19 is considered a “force majeure” or not due to the current Social Security Law. The legal provisions do not clearly establish that Force majeure covers epidemics. Previously, the Ministry of Labor sent an investigative letter to the State Council Office that will it be able to pay to heal the workers affected by Covid-19? The decree responded that the Social Security Board can decide whether the disease outbreak, like Covid. Is it force majeure? Because it was a severe epidemic worldwide without any anticipation
2) The question of the potential of the Social Security Fund that is currently If you are cured in this area, the remedy can be paid for only 3 months. But if the situation of Covid-19 Not resolved And can be dragged for up to 6 months or more May bring social security fund That is divided according to the duties of 4 functions from “other divisions” to the average to pay people in the social security system in the condition that is needed in the current situation of the epidemic, whether it is, for example, whether or not to borrow money between Compatible or not, etc.
3) Management of the Social Security Fund in the future after the Covid-19 situation Solved How to manage Including the grouping of workers in the social security system based on a salary base of 15,000 baht 20,000-25,000 baht and salary base at 30,000 baht What is the quantity of each type? Planning for the future of the new social security. Due to the details imposed under the current Social Security Law It is not consistent with the current situation. Especially the salary level which is higher than 15 years ago.
500,000 income 9 thousand baht
However, when the preliminary evaluation showed that there are unemployed workers OR having to temporarily stop working With the state not ordering to stop But the establishment or the employer stopped the business from the epidemic situation. It is approximately 500,000 cases. The criteria for the payment of resources according to the law establish that You must send money to social security for at least 15 years to obtain 62% of the base of money sent to social security at 15,000 baht. If calculated, you will have to pay around 9,300 baht, which if approved by the Social Security Board next week You can pay the remedy immediately
“For money in the Social Security Fund Right now, the amount of money that employees, employers, insurers and the government have made a total of 2 trillion baht. Some of this was money sent by workers. Therefore , if you use money, you must be especially careful Different from paying taxes You must pay only the part that is really needed, so the aid should only help those who are in the social security system The rest is not in the security system But affected by Covid The government has already remediated 5,000 baht to pass during the bad economic period, and was also affected by an unbreakable epidemic Therefore, the government must stimulate the economy not to fall beyond this. therefore, creating demand is something that must be done first. “
R. Jatumongkol added that, in addition to the 3 issues that will be discussed by the Social Security Board, you should also consider other unhealthy workers, such as those previously closed, including groups that employers ordered to stop working but still pay 75%. base salary, whether there are measures to alleviate the problem of missing income differentials or not. And how will it be? In addition, in parallel with the work of the Ministry of Labor, to alleviate the suffering of Covid-19, such as the use of vocational training centers. By the Skills Development Department Across the country, there are a total of 25 places to train new careers for those interested, such as in the electronics industry, etc.
Worried about having money to find.
In addition, there are “concerns” that the Ministry of Labor should plan to support, which is 2 trillion baht from the Social Security Fund, approximately 1.8 trillion baht, a pension paid by employers, employees and the government for 20-30 years. . As for sending money, but there is still no “withdrawal” until 2020, disbursement begins. And estimate that in the next 20 years, more money will be withdrawn due to retirement age. At the same time, the population is declining: over the next 30 years, the population will shrink to just 46 million, which will cause people to send Money to social security will also decrease.
Therefore, there must be a support plan. Especially the rate of remittances to the Social Security Fund in the future will have to be adjusted. Because when evaluating this short term, in the next 7-8 years, “more” remittances will be paid, even when evaluating the long term up to 30-40 years, there may be no money left in the fund. How to proceed? Including the role of social security that should be greater than it is today
“We have the hypothesis that in the next 30 years, the Thai salary base will be high in some countries, Sweden, etc. He earned 34% because he wants to have enough. After retirement, he can create a module that in the future should save money”. At what speed But not yet included in the Covid-19 situation What we think we are like being hit by a car Some are specific. Because real money is not much. But the problem is that in the next 30 years, there will be many payments. But there are few people sending money. You must plan well. Any money to be spent first may need to focus on collecting more first. It will not be able to increase everything at the same time, which will soon have to come up with a way to manage the social security fund for the government to consider, “said Mom Rajawongse.
