While the immigrant workers are waiting to change employers, does the employer still have to pay employment security fees, health insurance premiums and be responsible for placement?

According to the Ministry of Labor, while migrant workers are waiting to change employers, the original employer is still responsible for the resettlement responsibility, and they must pay employment stability fees and health insurance fees. If migrant workers are required to work during the waiting period, wages must also be paid. If the employer's employment permit is revoked by the Ministry of Labor, the employer will not be required to pay the migrant worker's employment stability fee and health insurance fee from the date of revoking the employment permit, and will not be required to ask the migrant worker to work.

During the period when some migrant workers change employers, the original employer is unable to continue to retain the migrant workers or provide them with accommodation due to family factors, and when the migrant workers have nowhere to go, the employer often appoints an intermediary company to arrange the migrant workers on their behalf. , The employment permit has not yet been abolished, so the employer is still responsible for providing accommodation for migrant workers during this period. If an agency is appointed to manage or arrange accommodation for the migrant workers, the related expenses arising from life care management should be borne by the agency company and the employer. Both parties agree on their own.

However, if the person under care dies unfortunately, the original employment permit held by the employer will first be revoked by the Ministry of Labor, and then the employer change will be handled. During this period, the employer will still have doubts about assigning migrant workers to work outside the permit, such as Continue to assist with housework, cooking or cleaning at the employer's family. Hereby, the employer is reminded that when the care receiver dies, the employment permit is revoked, and the migrant worker changes to a new employer, the migrant worker can only deal with his own related work at the original employer's home. Daily life affairs, or assisting the employer in handling the funeral of the caretaker, etc., can no longer be assigned to other jobs, no matter they continue to live in the original employer's home or entrust an intermediary to arrange care, the employer still needs to bear the board and lodging expenses of the migrant workers until they return to the country Or until the change of employer is completed.
