The holiday lasts 9 days, including 5 official Tet holidays and 4 weekly days off as prescribed in the Labor Code. Civil servants and workers will have Tet holiday from December 26, year of Giap Thin, to January 5, year of At Ty (Graphics: Tuan Huy). For the business sector, regarding this Lunar New Year holiday, the Ministry requires employers to decide to choose 1 of 3 holiday options.

The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs requires agencies and units implementing the Lunar New Year holiday schedule to pay attention to arranging and reorganizing work departments reasonably, to handle work continuously, ensuring good service to the organization and the people. For agencies and units that do not implement a fixed Saturday and Sunday holiday schedule every week, they will base on the specific program and plan of the unit to arrange a suitable holiday schedule. Employers must notify employees of their Tet holiday plans 30 days in advance. If these holidays coincide with weekly days off, employees will be given compensatory days off on the following day.
