Vietnam overtime regulation, overtime fee and compensation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Overtime hours and their regulations refer to the hours worked in excess of normal working hours in Vietnam.
Understanding overtime is very important in calculating the cost of a company doing business in a country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We will briefly explain the laws and compensation that regulate overtime hours, and the comparison with neighboring countries in Vietnam.
Many of the reasons manufacturing companies are paying attention to Vietnam are the low labor costs in Vietnam.
Especially recently, the transfer from China to Vietnam, including Chinese companies, has become conspicuous because labor costs are cheaper than in China.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The fact that work rules and overtime regulations can be said as a whole has many aspects similar to those adopted in China as the overtime and night shift rules of the Socialist Republic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And while it's important to understand the normal wage system,
It is also very important to consider the overtime rules that apply to a particular business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Government of Vietnam lists all these regulations in the new Labor Code of 2019 (Law No. 45\/2019 \/ QH14) and Decree 145\/2020 \/ ND-CP. These laws and guidelines are important for many companies considering expanding into Vietnam for the purpose of labor costs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is Vietnam's overtime regulation?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is very important for employers to understand the definition of overtime.
Understanding where and how much is defined as overtime means maximizing productivity in time constraints.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Normal working hours cannot exceed 8 hours a day and 48 hours a week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For employees who work in heavy labor or dangerous environments, the law may limit working hours separately.
For example, there are provisions to limit labor restrictions due to exposure to dangerous substances and chemical substances, and if workers exceed these restrictions, overtime pay will be applied.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In general, working beyond a set time threshold is usually overtime.
Overtime hours include weekends, public holidays, and nights (between 22:00 and 6:00)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Calculation and compensation of overtime pay in Vietnam<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If the company causes overtime, the employee is obliged to compensate the employee beyond the normal wage.
This applies to all employees, regardless of the wages offered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
