Vietnam: Is it compulsory for employers to provide annual Tet bonuses to employees?
Article 104 of the 2019 Labor Code regulates bonuses for employees as follows:
Bonuses
1. A bonus means an amount of money, a piece of property or item that is provided by an employer for his/her employees on the basis of the business performance or the employees’ performance.
2. A bonus regulation shall be decided and publicly announced at the workplace by the employer after consultation with the representative organization of employees (if any).
Thus, according to the above regulations, the employer will base on the business performance or the employees’ performance to reward the employee.
A bonus regulation shall be decided and publicly announced at the workplace by the employer after consultation with the representative organization of employees.
The 2024 Tet bonus for employees is absolutely not mandatory but will be decided by the employer based on their business performance and implemented according to the bonus regulation.
