If employees work at night, they will be paid at least 30% of the salary calculated according to the salary unit price or the salary determined according to the work of the normal working day.
If employees work overtime at night on these days, aside from the salary as prescribed in Clauses 1 and 2 of Article 98 of the Labor Code 2019, they will also be paid an additional 20% of the salary calculated according to the salary unit price or salary according to the work done during the day.
Thus, if the employee works overtime at night on the holidays of March 10, April 30, and May 1, the total amount of wages received by the employee for this overtime period as prescribed is at least 490% of the salary for that number of hours of the normal working day.

(2) Bonus
This amount is not mandatory but depends on the regime and policy of each company for employees, which may or may not be available.
