Questions

• Can foreign workers legally work in Vietnam?

  Yes, with a valid work permit and temporary residence card issued by immigration authorities. Employers must sponsor the permit application, which typically requires proof of qualifications, a clean medical record, and police clearance. Processing takes several weeks.

• What type of contract do most employees receive?

  Most employees sign indefinite-term labour contracts specifying job title, salary, working hours, probation period, and benefits. Probation periods typically last three months, during which either party can terminate with shorter notice. Written contracts are legally mandatory.

• What are standard working hours in Vietnam?

  Full-time positions typically involve 40-48 hours per week across five or six days. Overtime beyond the agreed hours is compensated at higher rates, usually 150% of regular pay on normal days and 200% on Sundays or public holidays. Hours are specified in the employment contract.

• What documents do employers typically request?

  Employers request identity documents, educational certificates, medical clearance, police clearance, and work history references. Foreign workers must provide passport details and work permit documentation. Some roles require specific professional certifications or language proficiency verification.

• How are salaries paid in Vietnam?

  Salaries are almost always paid monthly via bank transfer on a set date, typically between the 5th and 15th of each month. Payslips itemize gross salary, social insurance contributions, and deductions. Payment by cheque or cash is uncommon in formal employment.

• What is the Tet bonus and how does it work?

  The Tet bonus is a mandatory additional payment around Lunar New Year, typically equivalent to one month's salary or more depending on company policy and tenure. It is legally recognized and appears in many employment contracts as a core benefit. Employees who resign before Tet may forfeit part or all of it.

• What are social insurance contributions?

  Social insurance contributions are deducted from every payslip at a percentage set by law, covering health, unemployment, and pension benefits. Employers also contribute on behalf of employees. These deductions are mandatory and appear as line items on all salary statements.

• Are there mandatory public holidays in Vietnam?

  Yes, Vietnam observes national public holidays including Tet (Lunar New Year), National Day, and several others. Work on public holidays is either avoided or compensated at premium rates. Holiday dates are fixed by government decree and affect most businesses.

• What probation periods apply to new employees?

  Probation periods are typically three months for most roles, during which either employer or employee can terminate with reduced notice—often just a few days. The contract specifies probation terms. After probation, termination requires longer notice periods and often severance payments.

• Can employees work part-time or on fixed-term contracts?

  Yes, though indefinite-term contracts are more common in formal employment. Fixed-term contracts are used for project-based or seasonal work. Part-time positions exist but are less prevalent; they still require a signed contract and statutory benefits calculations.
