Are contractual teachers in Vietnam entitled to a day off on Christmas 2024?

Under the provisions of Article 112 of the Labor Code 2019 regarding public holidays:

Public holidays

1. Employees shall be entitled to fully paid days off on the following public holidays:

a) Gregorian Calendar New Year Holiday: 01 day (the 1st of January of the Gregorian calendar);

b) Lunar New Year Holidays: 05 days;

c) Victory Day: 01 day (the 30th of April of the Gregorian calendar);

d) International Labor Day: 01 day (the 1st of May of the Gregorian calendar);

dd) National Day: 02 days (the 2nd of September of the Gregorian calendar and the previous or next day);

e) Hung Kings Commemoration Day: 01 day (the 10th of the third month of the Lunar calendar).

2. Foreign employees in Vietnam are entitled to 01 traditional public holiday and 01 National Day of their country, in addition to the public holidays stipulated in Clause 1 of this Article.

3. The Prime Minister shall decide the specific public holidays mentioned in Point b and Point dd Clause 1 of this Article on an annual basis.

Additionally, Article 111 of the Labor Code 2019 specifies the following:

Weekly breaks

1. Each week an employee is entitled to a break of at least 24 consecutive hours. Where it is impossible for the employee to have a weekly day off due to the work cycle, the employer has the responsibility to ensure that on average the employee has at least 04 days off per month.

2. The employer has the right to determine and schedule the weekly breaks either on Sunday or for another fixed day in a week, which must be recorded in the internal labor regulations.

3. In case a public holiday falls on an employee’s weekly break as prescribed in Clause 1 Article 112 of this Labor Code, he/she will have compensatory time-off on the next working days.

Under the above regulations, contractual teachers are considered employees. Holiday regulations will apply according to the Labor Code.

Thus, since Christmas 2024 is not included in the public holidays, contractual teachers will not be entitled to a day off on Christmas 2024.

*Note: Since Christmas often takes place in the evening after working hours, teachers can gather with their families on this year-end occasion.

Is the school required to give Christmas gifts to contractual teachers who are Catholic in Vietnam?

According to Article 104 of the Labor Code 2019, the provision on bonuses is 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).

According to the above regulation, contractual teachers are employees. Therefore, the employer (the school) is not required to give bonuses on Christmas 2024.

Thus, the decision to give gifts on Christmas (Noel) 2024 to contractual teachers depends on the school’s policies where the teacher is employed and the financial situation of each school.
