What are regulations on trainees and apprentices in Vietnam?
Hello Lawnet. I want to ask about vocational training. I have a question. What are regulations on trainees and apprentices in Vietnam under the Labor Code in 2019?
I am currently in the 10-day apprenticeship period, helping the head barber with applying the medication, washing hair, and drying hair for customers. Does the salon have to pay me a salary or not while I am still in apprenticeship period? If so, how much should I be paid?
Thank you!
