Regarding Tet bonuses, the Trade Union also discussed with the Board of Directors of the company to soon publicize the Tet bonus plan so that employees can feel secure in production.

The average Tet bonus is over 1 month's basic salary. New employees who have worked for 2 months can receive a bonus of 4 million VND, from 4-6 years or more on average will receive over 9 million VND.

Almost all workers have gifts of about 600,000 VND/person. The Trade Union also gave Tet gifts to all union members" - Ms. Le Thi Huong - Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Cua Y Ahoa Technology Company Limited informed.
