Lawyers from Tilleke & Gibbins’ labor and employment team have written the Vietnam chapter of Practical Law’s Employment and Employee Benefits Global Guide. The 2022 edition of the handbook provides a high-level comparative overview of employment laws and regulations across 46 jurisdictions around the world. Tilleke & Gibbins also contributed the Myanmar chapter of the guide.

The Vietnam chapter covers a wide range of typical employment matters, such as limitations on working hours, paid leave requirements, minimum wage, and health and safety obligations. In addition, the guide provides insight on a number of topics of special interest to foreign investors doing business in Vietnam, including the following:

• Mandatory contents of a labor contract;
• Visas and permits required for expatriate employees;
• Employers’ obligations for protecting employees’ privacy and personal data;
• Procedural requirements for the dismissal of an employee;
• Employer and parent company liability.
