What is the meaning of December 10? What is the lunar date of December 10, 2024?

On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and designated December 10 each year as World Human Rights Day.

Thus, December 10 is World Human Rights Day. According to the Perpetual Calendar, December 10, 2024, corresponds to the 10th day of the 11th month, 2024 in the lunar calendar.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights consists of 30 brief and concise articles. Article 3 of the Declaration states: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and personal security," which is the foundation for the International Bill of Human Rights, including the two core conventions on human rights (the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) adopted by the UN in 1966.

Do employees in Vietnam get a day off on December 10?

Based on Article 112 of the 2019 Labor Code regarding holiday:

Article 112. Holidays

1. Employees are entitled to a day off from work and are paid full wages on the following holidays:

a) New Year's Day: 1 day (January 1 of the solar calendar);

b) Lunar New Year: 5 days;

c) Victory Day: 1 day (April 30 of the solar calendar);

d) International Labor Day: 1 day (May 1 of the solar calendar);

dd) National Day: 2 days (September 2 of the solar calendar and 1 adjacent day before or after);

e) Hung Kings' Commemoration Day: 1 day (the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month).

2. Foreign employees in Vietnam, in addition to the holidays specified in clause 1 of this Article, are also entitled to 1 traditional Tet day of their ethnicity and 1 National Day of their country.

3. Annually, based on actual conditions, the Prime Minister of the Government of Vietnam will decide the specific days off stipulated in point b and point dd, clause 1 of this Article.

According to the above regulations, employees will have days off from work and receive full wages during the aforementioned holidays:

- New Year's Day.

- Lunar New Year.

- Victory Day.

- International Labor Day.

- National Day.

- Hung Kings' Commemoration Day.

Thus, December 10, which is World Human Rights Day, is not a holiday for which employees get a day off. Therefore, on this day, employees must report to work if they are scheduled to work.

However, employees may take a day off on this day if they use their annual leave (as regulated in Article 113 of the 2019 Labor Code) or negotiate with their employers for unpaid leave (per clause 3 Article 115 of the 2019 Labor Code).
