Does the Labor Contract Require Recording the Title of the Employer Signing the Contract?

Clause 1, Article 23 of the 2012 Labor Code stipulates that a labor contract must include the following essential contents:

- Name and address of the employer or the legal representative;

- Full name, date of birth, gender, address of residence, identification card number, or other legal documents of the employee;

- Job and workplace;

...

Accordingly, there is no requirement to specify the title of the person signing the contract on behalf of the employer.

However, Point a, Clause 1, Article 21 of the 2019 Labor Code (effective from January 01, 2021) stipulates that a labor contract must include the following essential contents:

Name, address of the employer, and full name, title of the person signing the labor contract on behalf of the employer.

Thus, from January 01, 2021, the labor contract must specify the title of the person signing the labor contract on behalf of the employer.

Respectfully!
