Additionally, according to the provisions of Article 98 of the Labor Code 2019 (effective from January 1, 2021), employees working on New Year 2021 will receive a salary of at least 300% calculated based on the wage unit price or actual salary paid for the current job, excluding the holiday, Tet, and paid leave for employees receiving daily wages. Moreover, for employees working with a 02-day off per week policy, if they work on January 2, 2021, and January 3, 2021, they will receive a salary of at least 200% calculated based on the wage unit price or actual salary paid for the current job.

According to the regulations in Decision 188/1999/QD-TTg on the 40-hour work week policy, officials and public employees, employees of administrative units, career organizations, political organizations, and socio-political organizations follow the 40-hour work week policy within 5 days, with Saturday and Sunday off every week.

Thus, New Year 2021 (January 1, 2021) falls on a Friday, so officials and public employees will have 3 continuous days off from January 1, 2021, to January 3, 2021 (01 day for New Year 2021 and 02 weekly days off).
