Do accountants at two companies have to participate in unemployment insurance at both places in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Point c, Clause 1, Article 43 of the 2013 Employment Law stipulates that compulsory participants in unemployment insurance are as follows:

1. Workers are obliged to participate in unemployment insurance when working under labor contracts or working contracts below:

a/ Labor contracts or working contracts of indefinite time;

b/ Labor contracts or working contracts of definite time;

c/ Seasonal or job-based working contracts with a term of between full 3 months and under 12 months.

In case a worker has signed and is performing more than one labor contract specified in this Clause, the worker and the employer under the labor contract signed first shall participate in unemployment insurance.

Thus, in principle, in case an employee has signed and is performing more than one labor contract specified in this Clause, the employee and the employer under the labor contract signed first shall participate in unemployment insurance. Therefore, if you work as an accountant for 2 companies, you will participate in the first company's unemployment insurance in Vietnam.
