[Vietnam] Expats will have two more days off than nationals

Workers who are Vietnamese nationals are expected to be given twenty-two days off as national holidays in 2022, while foreign staff can have 24 days off, Vn Express reports.

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs has proposed twenty-two days off for the various holidays that fall in 2022. The Lunar New Year holiday is expected to last nine days from January 29 to February 6, while National Day would entail four days off from September 1 to September 4, including weekends.

For the upcoming New Year's Day holiday, workers would be granted three days off from January 1 to January 3. The Reunification Day (April 30) and Labor Day (May 1) holiday would last from April 30 to May 3.

Staff who do overtime or work night shifts during holidays will be paid at least 300 per cent of their normal wage.

Expatriate workers, in addition to the proposed twenty-two days off, would receive two further days of leave; one for their countries' New Year holidays and the other for their National Days.
