This is the main content of circular 41 issued by the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs on December 30, 2009 to replace circular 3 issued in 2007 that guides the implementation of the Law on Social Insurance.
Circular 41 stated that female workers who have worked in remote and mountainous areas with severe temperatures and a poor infrastructure for six consecutive months will also be allowed to enjoy a five-month maternity leave.
