Example: Mr. Hai’s one-hour pay of a normal working day is 30,000 VND:

1. One-hour overtime pay on a normal working day  is 30,000 x 150% x 1 = 45,000 VND.

2. One-hour overtime pay on week breaks is 30,000 x 200% x 1 = 60,000 VND.

3. One-hour overtime pay on public holidays and fully paid days off is:

- 30,000 x 300% x 1 = 90,000 VND (if paid monthly);- 30,000 x 400% x 1 = 120,000 VND (if paid daily).

4. One-hour pay for working at night on a normal working day is 30,000 x 130% x 1 = 39,000 VND.

5. One-hour overtime pay at night on a normal working day is: 30,000 x (150% + 30% + 20%) x 1 = 60,000 VND, if previously worked overtime during the day, it is: 30,000 x (150% + 30% + 30%) = 63,000 VND.

6. One-hour overtime pay at night on week breaks is 30,000 x (200% + 30% + 40%) x 1 = 81,000 VND.

7. One-hour overtime pay at night on public holidays and fully paid days off is:

- 30,000 x (300% + 30% + 60%) x 1 = 117,000 VND (if paid monthly).- 30,000 x (400% + 30% + 60%) x 1 = 147,000 VND (if paid daily).
