Thus, the 2024 National Day holiday lasts 4 days, including 2 National Day holidays and 2 weekly days off.

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs recommends that agencies and units implementing the 2024 National Day holiday schedule pay attention to arranging and organizing working departments reasonably to handle work continuously, ensuring good service to organizations and people.

Agencies and units that do not have a fixed schedule for Saturdays and Sundays every week will arrange a suitable schedule for the 2024 National Day holiday based on the specific program and plan of the unit.

For employees not belonging to administrative agencies, public service agencies, political organizations, or socio-political organizations, the employer decides to choose the option to take the 2024 National Day holiday.

Accordingly, during the National Day holiday, employers choose 1 of 2 days: Sunday (September 1) or Tuesday (September 3).

Employers must notify employees of the 2024 National Day holiday plan at least 30 days before implementation.

If the weekly day off coincides with a public holiday or Tet holiday, the employee will be given a compensatory day off on the next working day.

Announcing the holiday schedule for this year’s September 2nd holiday in advance allows families to proactively plan their travel or vacation. Travel companies are planning to sell travel programs for the September 2nd holiday, especially tours to foreign countries.

Previously, at the 13th Congress of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor in December 2023, the General Confederation of Labor proposed that the Party and State add 2 more days off for National Day (from 2 days to 4 days off) so that workers and laborers can take time off from work and take their children to school on the opening day of the new school year on September 5 every year.
