Yesterday evening, it was reported that Gome had informed internally that the housing provident fund of employees of seven companies under Gome holdings was deferred due to the impact of the epidemic. In this regard, Gome responded: the information is inaccurate. Gome is responding to the relevant policies of the state to help enterprises and relieve enterprises to apply for the suspension of provident fund. At present, it is still applying according to the process, and Gome group and relevant industrial companies have not officially issued this notice.
Gome said that since 2020, the state has successively issued a number of preferential policies to help enterprises rescue, including policies such as application for deferred payment of provident fund. Gome is responding to and making rational use of the government's preferential enterprise policy and handling it in accordance with the law. This is not an enterprise of Gome applying for this policy.
"At present, the rights and interests of employees such as Gome provident fund have not been affected, and the social security and provident fund of the whole company are paid normally." Gome responded.
