Labor and employment regulations, internal policies, and employee contracts
Vietnam’s labor and employment regulations are comprehensive and strictly enforced. Non-compliance can lead to labor disputes, administrative penalties, business disruption, and reputational risks. Employers—especially foreign-invested enterprises—must ensure that employment structures, internal policies, and contracts fully comply with Vietnamese labor law while remaining practical for daily operations.
