Regarding this issue, Binh Dinh Provincial Social Security replied as follows:

For the case of employees suffering from F0: Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 26 of the Law on Social Insurance, the time off to enjoy the sickness benefits is as follows:

- Employees working in normal conditions are entitled to: Leave up to 30 days/year, if they have paid social insurance premiums for less than 15 years; Leave up to 40 days/year, if you have paid social insurance contributions from full 15 years to less than 30 years; Leave up to 60 days/year, if you have paid social insurance for full 30 years or more.

Employees working in heavy, hazardous or particularly heavy, hazardous or dangerous occupations on the list promulgated by the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Health, or working in a place where regional allowances are available. The coefficient area from 0.7 when suffering from F0 is entitled to 10 more days of leave per year compared to employees working in normal conditions.

In addition, based on Clause 2, Article 26 of the Law on Social Insurance, the case of employee F0 with severe changes and complications shall be included in the list of diseases requiring long-term treatment promulgated by the Ministry of Health. Specifically, as follows: Maximum 180 days off including public holidays, New Year's holidays, weekly rest days.

In case the employee has spent 180 days but still continues to receive treatment, he/she will continue to enjoy the sickness benefits at a lower rate, but the maximum continued benefit period is equal to the period of payment of compulsory social insurance.
