The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs is consulting with ministries and branches to submit to the Prime Minister a proposal for the Lunar New Year holiday in 2025.
In the draft submission, the Ministry proposed a plan for the Lunar New Year holiday: 5 days off according to regulations, including 2 days off before Tet and 3 days off after Tet.
Civil servants and public employees will have Lunar New Year holidays from Saturday, January 25, 2025 to Sunday, February 2, 2025 (December 26, year of the Dragon, to January 5, year of the Snake).
Thus, with this plan, during the Lunar New Year holiday, civil servants and public employees will have 9 days off (including 5 days off for Lunar New Year and 4 days off every week).
Article 112 of the 2019 Labor Code stipulates that employees are entitled to 5 days off with full pay during the Lunar New Year. Thus, the 2025 Lunar New Year will have a minimum of 5 days off as prescribed. The official number of days off will depend on the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday schedule announced by the State.
