劳动部、国家计委、国家经贸委、


各省、自治区、直辖市人民政府,国务院有关部委、直属机构:
近年来部分企业出现的职工生活困难和下岗,是深化国有企业改革过程中的突出问题。党中央、国务院对此十分重视,制定了一系列政策措施。各地在贯彻落实中积累了不少好经验,在加强解困和再就业工作组织领导,实行责任制,多方筹集资金,开发就业岗位,强化就业服务等方面
采取了许多行之有效的好办法。尤为突出的是,把解困和再就业工作紧密结合,收到了明显的效果。困难企业职工解困和再就业工作是社会主义市场经济体制建立和完善过程中的一项长期任务,特别是在企业深化改革的关键时期,任务更为艰巨,必须进一步加大贯彻党中央、国务院有关政
策措施的力度,以高度的政治责任感抓紧抓好。现就有关问题通知如下:
一、进一步明确解困和再就业工作的目标和任务
1.开展解困和再就业工作应遵循“标本兼治”的原则,在企业立足自身努力的同时,把解困与再就业工作紧密结合起来,做到社会共同参与,政府给予必要扶持并逐步形成制度,保障困难职工基本生活和做好再就业工作。
2.解困和再就业工作的基本目标是,按照我国建立社会主义市场经济体制和实现“两个根本性转变”的要求,建立解困和再就业工作的正常机制,形成系统的工作制度,切实保障困难职工的基本生活,确保失业、下岗职工尽早实现再就业,使他们逐步从根本上摆脱困境,为改革发展
创造稳定和谐的社会环境。
3.当前解困和再就业工作的主要任务是,在现有工作的基础上,进一步建立健全解困和再就业工作的各项制度,采取有效措施,确保困难职工的基本生活水平不低于当地最低生活费标准,使有劳动能力的下岗职工参加再就业工程,再就业率达到50%以上。
二、加强解困和再就业的基础管理工作
1.解困工作的帮扶对象是经济体制转轨时期,停产、半停产,濒临破产的国有企业中,不能按时领取工资或离退休金,其基本生活水平低于当地政府规定的最低生活费标准的困难职工和离退休人员。
2.救助困难职工和退休人员的标准按当地政府规定的最低生活费标准执行。
3.各地要组织力量认真摸清困难职工和下岗职工的底数以及当地劳动力市场的需求情况。要掌握困难职工和下岗职工的分布情况、生活困难程度以及年龄、性别、技能等状况,做好建档建卡工作,并根据情况变化及时进行调整,以形成困难职工和下岗职工情况的动态管理机制。企业
、企业主管部门、区街行政管理部门应与工会、劳动部门共同组成困难职工与下岗职工调查统计网络,形成准确动态反映困难职工、下岗职工与离退休人员情况的统计信息制度。
三、采取多种形式分流安置下岗职工
1.要深入挖掘企业潜力,引导和支持企业自行分流安置下岗职工。行业主管部门和企业要利用现有的场地、设施和生产经营项目组织下岗职工进行生产自救。
2.要充分发挥行业内部劳动力管理机构的职能,对企业的下岗职工在企业、行业间进行余缺调剂,组织下岗职工进行劳务协作。
3.各优化资本结构试点城市要学习上海经验,并根据当地的实际情况,组织、推动行业和企业尽快建立再就业服务中心。具备条件的大型企业就企业集团可利用现有的劳动服务公司或其他相应机构,承担分流托管下岗职工的任务,挂再就业服务中心的牌子。劳动部门也可以根据实际
情况,在现有的就业服务机构挂再就业服务中心的牌子,接受不具备条件的行业和企业的委托,托管下岗职工,并提供再就业服务。
4.再就业服务中心应按照有关规定及《企业兼并破产和职工再就业工作计划》,接受企业委托对下岗职工进行临时性托管。再就业服务中心接收下岗职工的数量应根据分流安置能力,按照“稳进快出,量出为入”的原则确定。再就业服务中心在劳动部门的指导下为下岗职工提供职业
介绍、职业指导、职业培训、生产自救、劳务输出及为下岗职工发放基本生活费用,缴纳社会保险费等服务,并对下岗职工再就业按政策给予扶持。通过建立再就业服务中心,努力做到既不让下岗职工继续滞留在企业内部,又不简单地把下岗职工推向社会。
四、进一步加大帮困资金的筹集力度,切实保障困难企业职工基本生活费
1.各地要按照中办发〔1996〕29号文件规定,根据当地解困工作的需要,确定个人所得税收入用于建立帮困资金的具体比例,以保证资金来源,便于操作。
2.各地区和有关部门要制定规划,确定具体的对口帮扶办法,引导和动员社会力量开展捐献互济等活动,关心帮助困难职工。
3.各省、自治区、直辖市解困工作领导组织应与各商业银行协商,按照有关规定确定符合“三家抬”政策的困难企业名单,分别报各商业银行总行批准后执行。符合政策规定需要“三家抬”的中央直属困难企业,实行行业主管部门调剂一部分资金、中央财政贴息、银行提供一部分工
资性贷款的办法解决职工的基本生活费,具体办法由行业主管部门将需要“三家抬”的企业名单汇总后分别报财政部和各商业银行总行批准执行。
五、抓紧建立再就业基金,增加分流安置职工的投入
1.各地要按照第八届全国人大五次会议批准的《政府工作报告》要求,结合具体情况,由地方财政、企业和社会保障基金各拿一点,建立再就业基金。
2.国务院确定的111个优化资本结构试点城市,要确保兼并、破产和不具备兼并、破产条件的企业下岗职工再就业经费的落实。用于分流安置职工的费用,应随下岗职工进入再就业服务中心一并拨付,统筹使用。
六、进一步完善解困的政策和措施
1.各地应对困难职工在购买粮油、自谋职业等方面给予优待,对在房租、水电费、就业、就医、子女上学等方面确有困难的职工给予照顾。
2.对有劳动能力无故不参加企业组织的生产劳动活动达两次以上的困难职工和下岗职工,停止其享受生活救助或其他优待。
3.各地区和有关部门要制定困难职工以工代赈规划,确定一批社会公益项目,专门用于组织困难职工以工代赈,解决其基本生活困难。
4.各地要严格执行《关于进一步做好困难企业离退休人员基本生活保障工作的通知》(劳部发〔1996〕408号)的有关规定,切实保障困难企业离退休人员的基本生活。凡参加养老保险社会统筹,但不能正常缴纳养老保险费用的困难企业,如所在统筹范围内养老保险基金积累
额能够支付6个月养老金的,仍应由社会保险经办机构按月支付其离退休人员的养老金或基本生活费;养老保险基金积累额不足支付6个月养老金的,应将困难企业的离退休人员与困难职工一起实施生活保障。
七、开辟就业领域,加大政策扶持,增加就业岗位
1.各地要将促进就业作为当地经济、社会发展的重要目标纳入宏观经济决策,有关部门要充分考虑扩大就业的需要,结合经济社会发展,共同研究提出开辟就业领域、增加就业岗位的计划,并制定与之相配套的扶持政策。要特别注重开发适合下岗职工再就业的岗位,帮助其尽快实现
再就业。
2.要充分利用国家发展旅游、电子信息、居民住宅、物业管理等新的经济增长点的机会,开辟多种就业渠道。根据自然资源状况,开发农、林、牧、渔业,安排一部分劳动力。发展多种经济形式并存的中小企业,支持集体经济、合作经济、股份合作制等类型企业,鼓励下岗职工兴办
私营企业或个体工商户。支持下岗职工的谋职业。继续大力发展第三产业,特别是要结合社区建设,发展与居民生活密切相关的商业、餐饮、托幼、修理、搬运、家政服务等便民利民网点,更多地吸纳失业、下岗职工。巩固和发展劳动就业服务企业,发挥厂办劳动服务公司组织下岗职工兴
办各类经济实体创造就业岗位的作用。
3.要落实为劳动就业服务企业制定的税收减免、工商登记、生产经营场地、资金、银行贷款、有偿使用国有资产等扶持政策。
4.对下岗职工从事临时性经营活动的,工商行政管理部门可核发临时营业执照,并酌情减免登记费用。
5.对自谋职业者,可酌情给付安置费,提供资金支持。
八、加大转业转岗培训的力度
1.对需要转换职业或岗位的下岗职工,应给予必要的转业转岗培训。
2.要在调查、了解、掌握需要进行转业转岗培训的失业、下岗职工数量的基础上,根据劳动力市场需求,制定转业转岗培训规划。
3.要利用现有的技工学校、就业训练中心及企业的培训实体,结合失业、下岗职工再就业的需求,开展多层次、多形式的转业转岗培训和技能鉴定工作,鼓励其他教育、培训单位为失业、下岗职工开展转业转岗培训。要继续抓好劳动预备制度的试点工作,保证这一制度的贯彻落实。

九、加快劳动力市场建设,强化就业服务
1.各地要加强对劳动力市场建设的统筹规划和管理,完善国家政策指导下的市场就业制度。要特别注意规范用人单位的招聘和经济性裁员及辞退行为。
2.要坚持就业的城乡统筹,继续推进“农村劳动力跨地区流动有序化工程”,并使之经常化、制度化。要结合当地经济社会发展状况,制定并完善招用外埠劳动力的具体办法和程序。
3.职业介绍要强化服务功能,改善服务设施和手段,开设专门服务项目,提高服务质量,对失业、下岗职工提供免费服务,并优先推荐就业。要开展多种形式的职业指导,帮助失业、下岗职工更新择业观念,同时要帮助用人单位确定合适的用人标准,鼓励其优先招用失业、下岗职工

4.加强失业保险基金的收缴工作,切实管好、用好失业保险基金,保障失业人员的基本生活,积极促进其再就业。
5.要拓展就业服务领域,将就业服务延伸到企业和街道,落实到基层、落到实处。
十、切实加强对解困和再就业工作的组织领导
1.在党中央、国务院领导下,各地和有关部门要按照企业谁主管、谁负责的原则,进一步建立健全分级管理,层层负责的领导责任制。各省、自治区、直辖市及中央行业主管部门应建立由党政主要领导牵头的解困和再就业工作领导小组。各地、市、区、县应逐级建立完善由党政主要
领导牵头的解困和再就业工作组织形式,领导组织本地区的解困和再就业工作。
2.要依靠全社会的力量,做好失业、下岗职工的分流安置工作,提倡和鼓励有关部门、社会团体发挥各自的优势,为失业、下岗职工再就业献计出力。劳动、计划、经贸、体改、财政、人事、公安、银行、税务、工商、信访、工会等有关方面应各尽其职,各施其能,协调配合,共同
做好解困和再就业工作。
3.停产、半停产及长期严重亏损企业的领导应加强职工思想政治工作,采取有效措施保障困难职工基本生活,帮助下岗职工转变观念,实现再就业。
4.各地和有关部门应在人力、物力和财力等方面积极创造条件,为解困和再就业工作的进一步开展提供必要的组织保证和物质基础。
