2. What is statutory minimum wage per hour for part-time students in Vietnam?
According to Article 4 of Decree 38/2022/ND-CP stipulating application of statutory minimum wages as follows:
1. The statutory minimum wage per month is the minimum wage used as the basis for any agreement between employers and employees on monthly salary and payment thereof. The job- or position-based salary of an employee who ensures the monthly normal working hours and has fulfilled his/her labor productivity norms or tasks as agreed shall not be lower than the statutory minimum wages per month.
2. The statutory minimum wage per hour is the minimum wage used as the basis for any agreement between employers and employees on hourly salary and payment thereof. The job- or position-based salary paid for every working hour to an employee who has fulfilled his/her labor productivity norms or tasks as agreed shall not be lower than the statutory minimum wages per hour.
3. In case an employee receives a weekly or daily salary, a piece-rate pay or a fixed pay, the wages paid to the employee, when converted into monthly or hourly salary, shall not be lower than the statutory minimum wage per month or per hour. The normal working hours-based converted monthly or hourly salary shall be subjected to the employer’s decision in accordance with regulations of law. To be specific:
a) The converted monthly salary shall equal the product of the weekly salary and 52 weeks divided by 12 months; or the daily salary multiplied by total normal working days in a month; or the piece-rate pay or fixed pay for the works performed during normal working hours in a month.
b) The converted hourly salary shall equal the weekly or daily salary divided by the normal working hours in a week or a day respectively; or the piece-rate pay or fixed pay divided by the working hours, considered as normal working hours, spent for producing a predetermined quantity of products or performing assigned works.
According to this Article, the statutory minimum wage per hour is the minimum wage used as the basis for any agreement between employers and employees on hourly salary and payment thereof. That is, when students work part-time, in that hour, the employer must pay the student the lowest salary equal to the statutory minimum wage per hour prescribed by law in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
