New Year 2024 will be off for 3 consecutive days

The Department of Labor Safety, Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs said that the 2024 New Year holiday will be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the 2019 Labor Code.

In 2024, New Year's Day falls on Monday, January 1, 2024. Thus, on this occasion, employees will have 1 day off and receive full pay.

However, December 30 and 31 fall on Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, during the 2024 New Year holiday, officials, civil servants, public employees and workers at state agencies will have a three-day holiday.

For employees with 2 days off per week (Saturday, Sunday), on New Year's Day they will have 3 consecutive days off, including 2 weekly days off (Saturday, Sunday) and 1 holiday (Monday).

If working at a unit with a one-day-off-weekly regime (Sunday), employees will have a 2-day consecutive New Year's holiday in 2024, from December 31, 2023 to January 1, 2024.

After more than a month off for the New Year, workers will have a 7-day Lunar New Year holiday, from December 29, Quy Mao, to January 5, Giap Thin (February 8-14, 2024). Civil servants and workers will have two days off before Tet, three days after Tet, plus two days off in lieu of falling on the weekend.

National Day holiday is four days off, from August 31 to September 3, 2024, from Saturday to the following Tuesday. Civil servants and workers do not have to take compensatory leave, so it is convenient to arrange work, travel, and return to their hometowns; parents and students have more time to prepare before the annual school opening day.

The remaining holidays of 2024 will be implemented according to the provisions of the Labor Code, but will be shorter because they fall in the middle of the week.

Specifically, Hung King's Commemoration Day (10th day of the 3rd lunar month) will be one day off, Thursday, April 18, 2024.

Reunification Day and International Labor Day are two days off, April 30-May 1, 2024, from Tuesday to Wednesday.

The above holiday schedule applies to civil servants and public employees, but the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs encourages businesses to let their employees take holidays according to the general schedule. For the Lunar New Year, businesses must notify employees 30 days in advance.

If workers work overtime or work at night during holidays or Tet, they will receive a salary of at least 300%. Foreigners working in Vietnam, in addition to the general schedule, will also be entitled to an additional day off for traditional Tet and one day off for their country's National Day.
