What's unique about the sector
- Truck and van drivers, route shippers, driver's mates — many are still on service contracts, contributor agreements or per-trip piece rates instead of employment contracts.
- Pay by the trip, by the route or by successful delivery — with almost no fixed figure.
- On the road all day — the highest accident risk of any labour sector.
The risk of doing it yourself
- Signing a "service / contributor contract" with a driver who works regularly under your direction — in a dispute it can still be ruled an employment relationship, forcing back-payment of social insurance plus compensation.
- A driver has an accident on a delivery with no occupational accident & disease insurance — the business shoulders it all; a death from an accident that is not entirely the worker's own fault requires compensation of at least 30 months' wages (Clause 4, Article 38, Law on Occupational Safety and Health 2015).
How Nhan Kiet handles it
- We sign employment contracts that reflect the true nature of the relationship for drivers, shippers and mates — putting the relationship on its proper footing, with no more risk of the contract being reclassified.
- Full social insurance, health insurance and occupational accident & disease insurance — an accident on a delivery run is now covered by the insurance fund.
- Full-time drivers pay on their contract salary, at least the regional minimum wage for their place of work.
- Flexible increase/decrease filings when you add vehicles in peak season; if a dispute arises, Nhan Kiet steps in to handle it.
💡 Without occupational accident & disease insurance, a single driver fatality not entirely the worker's own fault can mean compensation of at least 30 months' wages (Clause 4, Article 38, Law on Occupational Safety and Health 2015); pay it in full and the insurance portion is only about 809,600 VND/person/month, which shifts that risk to the fund.
