2026 Working Days Calendar for Vietnam, Asia

⚖️ Legal Regulations

Vietnam's Labor Code sets statutory minimum days off. If a public holiday falls on a weekend, employees are entitled to a compensatory day off on the next working day. Employees required to work on a statutory holiday must be paid at least 300% of their regular daily wage. The government officially approves the annual public holiday schedule.

📰 News

For 2026, the Prime Minister has officially approved the public holiday calendar, which includes extended breaks such as a 9-day Lunar New Year period and a 5-day National Day break achieved through workday swaps. Private companies have flexibility in scheduling the Tet break but must notify employees at least 30 days in advance.

💡 Insights

Extended holiday breaks are often created by combining public holidays with adjacent weekends and scheduling compensatory working days (e.g., working on a Saturday). During the Lunar New Year (Tet), many people travel for family reunions, and traditional customs like giving red envelopes (lì xì) are observed. The standard work week typically runs from Monday to Friday.
