01 There are three major obstacles to "flexible employment" work injury insurance
At present, there are about 200 million flexible employment personnel represented by takeaway riders, courier brothers, and domestic workers, and the vast majority of them have not participated in work injury insurance, and once there is work casualty, individuals and families are vulnerable to huge impacts.
The survey found that the current willingness of flexible employment personnel to participate in insurance is high, and there is also a large balance in the work injury insurance fund, but they are blocked from participating in insurance due to three major policy obstacles.
- Policy thresholds. At present, flexible employment industries, including express delivery and food delivery, are not included in the groups that should be insured in the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance. In the risk classification table of the work injury insurance industry, there is no risk division of the express delivery and delivery industry, and the corresponding payment rate cannot be determined.
------------------- In the current design of the work injury insurance system, the employee is included in the scope of work injury insurance and must be paid by the employer. Some local social security department heads said that many flexible employing units are reluctant to participate in insurance, because they are worried about paying fees for flexible employment groups, and it is easy to form a de facto labor relationship, so they must bear the social security payment obligations such as "pension, childbirth, and unemployment" to increase the overall labor costs of enterprises.
------------------------ According to the relevant regulations, after an employee suffers occupational injury, he or she needs to carry out a work injury determination in order to enjoy the treatment of work injury insurance. Work injuries can only be considered as work injuries during working hours and in the workplace, etc. due to accidents caused by work. However, many flexible workers often work alone, and the boundaries between working hours and workplaces are blurred, which brings many challenges to the identification of work injuries.
Since last year, with the intensive introduction of policies supporting multi-channel flexible employment by the state and various localities, the call to promote the expansion of work injury insurance has become increasingly high.
At present, some areas are carrying out pilot work on work injury insurance, covering more flexible employment groups. One is to introduce local policies to include flexible employment groups in the scope of work injury insurance; the other is to adopt the government-led and commercial insurance company operation mode to establish independent occupational injury protection to facilitate flexible employment groups to participate in insurance.
