Employment contracts
Vietnamese law mandates written labor contracts, fixed-term or indefinite, signed before Day 1. These agreements must cover role, compensation, working hours, benefits, termination, and probation, and may be bilingual (Vietnamese/English) for clarity.
Background checks
We help you run proper checks so you don’t have to hope for the best. Comprehensive screening aligns with Vietnam’s employment standards and regulatory requirements.
Equipment provisioning
We make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning. We also have ties with multiple co-working spaces to boost employee productivity.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Social insurance
Vietnam mandates contributions to social, health, and unemployment insurance. Employers typically contribute around 21.5% (SI 17.5% + HI 3% + UI 1%), while employees contribute around 10.5% (SI 8% + HI 1% + UI 1.5%), all subject to statutory salary caps.
Minimum wage
Contributions are based on the official monthly salary as defined in the labor contract, capped at 20 times the regional minimum wage for social and health insurance basis.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Labor Law coverage
Our services ensure full compliance with Vietnam’s Labor Code, Social Insurance Law (including the new 2024 revisions effective July 2025), and Decree on data and employment standards.
Audit-ready documentation
We maintain employment contracts, payslips, social insurance filings, leave records, and termination documents, fully prepared for government audits or inspections.
Worker classification & penalties
Misclassifying employees as contractors carries risks: fines, back contributions, and labor disputes. We ensure all employees are correctly classified and protected.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees with 12 months of service receive 12 days of annual leave (14–16 for hazardous roles), plus one day extra per five years of service with the same employer. Public holidays add ~11 paid days per year.
Sick leave
Employees are entitled to paid sick leave for up to 30 days. The employee will receive 75% of their salary while on leave, paid by Social Security.
Maternity leave
Pregnant employees who have contributed to social security for at least 3 months are entitled to 6 months of paid leave. 2 weeks of leave can be taken before the child’s birth. The employee will receive 100% of the average salary based on social insurance contributions over the last 6 months.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice periods
The minimum notice period is 3 days for a fixed-term contract of less than 12 months and will be increased to 45 days in case of an indefinite term contract..
Severance & final payouts
Employees dismissed without cause or due to restructuring are entitled to 0.5 months’ salary per year of service as severance.
