Authorized by the Government to announce the 2018 holiday schedule for civil servants, public employees and employees (hereinafter referred to as civil servants and public employees) at administrative agencies, political organizations, and socio-political organizations, Minister Dao Ngoc Dung signed and issued a decision on December 22, with the following content:

About Lunar New Year Holiday Schedule

Civil servants and public employees will have 7 consecutive days off, from Wednesday, February 14, 2018 to Tuesday, February 20, 2018 (ie December 29, Dinh Dau year to January 5, Mau Tuat year).

Because February 17, 2018 and February 18, 2018 (ie the 2nd and 3rd days of the Lunar New Year) fall on Saturday and Sunday, which are weekends, civil servants and public employees will have compensatory days off on February 19, 2018 and February 20, 2018 (ie the 4th and 5th days of the Lunar New Year).

About National Day Holiday Schedule

Civil servants and public employees have 3 consecutive days off, from Saturday, September 1, 2018 to Monday, September 3, 2018.

Because National Day (September 2) falls on Sunday, a weekly day off, civil servants and public employees will have a compensatory day off on Monday (September 3, 2018).

The announcement should also be clear that agencies implementing the above holiday schedule need to arrange work units reasonably to handle work continuously, ensuring good service to the people.

Agencies that do not have a weekly Saturday and Sunday off schedule will base on the specific program and plan of the unit to arrange a suitable holiday schedule.

Other holidays and Tet holidays during the year will be implemented according to the provisions of the Labor Law.
