HÀ NỘI — Workers nationwide will have a total of four days off from September 1 to 4 on the occasion of National Day, according to the Office of the Government.

From 2021, Việt Nam has a total of 11 public holidays, while the number of days off for National Day (September 2) increases from one to two.

If any holiday falls on the weekend, people will be entitled to an extra day off as compensation.

As this year's National Day (September 2, 2022) is on Friday, so workers nationwide will have a total of four days off.

If employees work part-time, they will get at least 150 per cent of the daily wages; 200 per cent on their rest day; 300 per cent on national holidays.

Foreign workers in Việt Nam are entitled to 11 days off for these public holidays, as well as two more for the traditional New Year's Day and National Day of their countries. — VNS
