The previous lowest seniority bonus of 20,000-280,000 VND is now increased by 50,000-450,000 VND (average increase of 100,000 VND/person/month). The company also agreed to increase the lucky money from 50,000 VND to 100,000 VND/time, 4 times a year. After adjustment, on average, workers are paid an additional 400,000 VND per month.
