Vietnam to take 4-day break for National Day

Civil servants are entitled to four consecutive days off, including one weekend day (Saturday), two national holidays (Sunday and Monday) and one additional day (Tuesday).

The ministry encourages businesses to apply the holiday schedule for employees similarly to that for civil servants.

The ministry also noted that agencies and companies operating on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) may determine the holiday schedule for their employees based on their work routines.

For employees who have a one-day weekly off on Sunday, the National Day holiday will span three days, from Sept. 1 to 3.

For employees who have two days off on Saturday and Sunday, the National Day holiday will last four days, from Aug. 31 to Sept. 3.
