Vietnam’s labor holiday schedules are legally defined by the Labor Code. However, decisions regarding extended holidays and adjustments to workdays, such as swapping workdays to create longer breaks, are made by the Prime Minister. This means the government has the authority to modify the standard holiday calendar for workers. The Labor Code provides the framework, but the Prime Minister’s office determines the specifics of how holidays are observed each year. These decisions often aim to maximize public benefit and facilitate longer periods of rest for the workforce. The process allows for flexibility in balancing economic productivity with employee well-being during national holidays. This system ensures both legal compliance and governmental responsiveness to societal needs.
