After the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers will continue to have the April 30 and May 1 holidays. This year, workers will still have 4 consecutive days off.

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs said that, Article 112, Labor Code 2019, from 2021, employees will have a total of 11 days off, Tet and receive full salary. Specifically, 1 day for New Year (January 1); 5 days for Lunar New Year; 1 day for Victory Day (April 30); 1 day for International Labor Day (May 1); 2 days for National Day (September 2 and 1 day before or after); 1 day for Hung King's Commemoration Day (March 10).

If these holidays coincide with weekly holidays, the employee will be compensated with the following day off. Foreign employees working in Vietnam, in addition to the holidays prescribed above, are also entitled to 1 day off for their traditional New Year and 1 day off for their country's National Day.

This year, Victory Day April 30 and International Labor Day May 1 fall on Saturday and Sunday, which are weekly days off, so workers will have compensatory days off on Monday (May 2) and Tuesday (May 3) of the following week, i.e. 4 consecutive days off, from April 30, 2022 to May 3, 2022.

The above holiday schedule applies to cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers of administrative agencies, public service agencies, political organizations, and socio-political organizations. Agencies and organizations that do not implement a fixed 2-day holiday schedule every Saturday and Sunday must base on the specific program and plan of the unit to arrange a suitable holiday schedule.

Therefore, if businesses still organize working on Saturdays, on the occasion of April 30 - May 1, employees will only have 3 days off.
