Vietnam Statutory Holidays, Tet Architecture & Banking Operations

Public holidays in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are codified under Article 112 of the Labour Code No. 45/2019/QH14. The statutory framework grants employees 11 official paid public holiday days annually across six festive occasions, centered on the lunar New Year celebration (Tết Nguyên Đán) and National Day (Quốc khánh). Annual scheduling adjustments, holiday bridges, and weekend makeup days are officially promulgated by the Prime Minister of Vietnam through the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA).

Workplace Rights

Article 98 Statutory Overtime (300% Pay)

Under Article 98 of the Labour Code 2019, employees who perform work on statutory public holidays or official compensatory rest days are legally entitled to overtime remuneration of at least 300% of their base hourly wage, calculated exclusive of regular holiday pay for salaried staff. Night work performed during statutory holidays incurs an additional statutory 30% premium plus a 20% daytime holiday overtime differential.

Weekend Rollover Provisions

Article 111 & 112 In-Lieu Rollover

Pursuant to Article 111, Paragraph 3 of the Labour Code, whenever an official public holiday coincides with an employee's weekly rest day (Saturday or Sunday), the worker is legally entitled to a compensatory day off (nghỉ bù) on the immediately following working business day. For multi-day celebrations like Tết and the 2-day National Day break, the Prime Minister decrees customized bridge dates to construct continuous 5- to 9-day holiday periods.

Central Financial Rails

State Bank of Vietnam IBPS & HOSE/HNX

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) pauses operations of the Interbank Electronic Payment System (IBPS) on statutory holidays. Commercial bank counter teller lobbies close nationwide. Securities trading halts across both the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) and the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX). However, retail domestic transactions executed via the National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS 247) and electronic mobile wallets operate 24/7/365.

The Two-Day National Day Statutory Rule

Under the 2019 Labour Code reform, Vietnam's National Day observance consists of exactly two paid days off: September 2nd and one immediately adjacent day (either September 1st or September 3rd), chosen annually by government decree to maximize workforce rest and industrial logistics planning.
