In April 2025, employees will have two holidays according to the Labor Code, including Hung King's Commemoration Day and April 30 Victory Day.

The first holiday is the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day. Article 112 of the 2019 Labor Code stipulates that employees are entitled to one day off with full pay on the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, which is on the 10th day of the third lunar month.

This year, Hung King's Commemoration Day falls on Monday, April 7th. Thus, employees can take a 2-day or 3-day holiday.

Employees will have 3 consecutive days off, including 1 holiday and 2 weekend days for agencies and businesses that have a fixed schedule of Saturday and Sunday every week. Accordingly, employees will have 3 consecutive days off from Saturday, April 5, to Monday, April 7.

Workers will have 2 consecutive days off on the occasion of Hung Kings’ Commemoration Day, including 1 holiday and 1 weekend day for agencies and businesses that only have a fixed weekly Sunday off schedule. Accordingly, workers will have 2 days off: Sunday, April 6, and Monday, April 7.

The second holiday in April is Victory Day, April 30. This holiday will be followed by International Labor Day, May 1.

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code, employees are entitled to take days off with full pay on Victory Day, April 30, and International Labor Day, May 1. This year, April 30 falls on Wednesday and May 1 falls on Thursday. Therefore, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs has issued Notice 6150/TB-BLDTBXH on the swap of working days from Friday, May 2, to Saturday, April 26, for civil servants and public employees.

Holiday schedule for Victory Day April 30 and International Labor Day May 1, 2025.

During the Victory Day holiday of April 30 and International Labor Day of May 1 in 2025, civil servants and public employees will have 5 consecutive days off from Wednesday, April 30, to Sunday, May 4, and will have to work on Saturday, April 26.

For employees working in enterprises, the number of days off will be decided by the employer, but must still ensure that employees have at least 2 days off according to regulations.

In total, in April 2025 and early May 2025, workers will have up to 8 days off. This creates a good opportunity for workers to have time to rest, travel, and enjoy recreational activities during the holidays.
