Previously, considering the proposal of the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh agreed with the proposal of this Ministry on the holiday from August 31, 2024 to September 3, 2024 on the occasion of National Day.

This year's holiday includes 2 official days off and 2 consecutive weekends, creating favorable conditions for people to have time to rest, relax and participate in activities celebrating the country's important holiday.

The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs noted that agencies and units need to proactively arrange work, ensure continuous operation and serve people's needs well during the holiday. For units that do not have fixed holidays on Saturdays and Sundays, the holiday schedule will be flexibly adjusted according to their own plans.

Employees outside the administrative and career sectors will have one of two days off: Sunday (September 1) or Tuesday (September 3), as decided by the employer and notified at least 30 days in advance. In case the holiday coincides with a weekly day off, the employee will have the next working day off in lieu.

According to the Labor Code and Government Decree 145-2020, those who work on September 2 and other days during this holiday will receive higher wages than usual.

Specifically, day workers will receive at least 400% of their salary, including that day's salary and holiday pay. For night workers, the minimum wage will be 490%, including overtime, night work and holiday pay.
