The Ministry of Home Affairs has just drafted a Report assessing the implementation of Decree No. 145/2020/ND-CP dated December 14, 2020 of the Government detailing and guiding the implementation of a number of articles of the Labor Code on labor conditions and labor relations.
As of December 31, 2025, there are 650 businesses nationwide with valid Labor Leasing Licenses operating; headquarters in 29 provinces/cities directly under the Central Government with a total of 342,083 workers renting, of which Ho Chi Minh City has 180 businesses, Dong Nai has 105 businesses, Hanoi has 84 businesses, Bac Ninh has 73 businesses, Hai Phong has 66 businesses.... Businesses deposit 2 billion VND at commercial banks according to regulations.
Legal regulations on labor leasing in Decree No. 145/2020/ND-CP are basically consistent with reality as well as with the common approach of many countries, in which labor leasing is not a business activity that is encouraged to develop and must be strictly managed by state management agencies.
The Ministry of Home Affairs said that the above viewpoint is expressed in: Regulations that labor leasing enterprises must deposit 2 billion VND at commercial banks to ensure the rights of employees in cases where labor leasing enterprises do not properly perform the obligations of employers according to regulations;
Fully and clearly stipulate the authority, process, and procedures for licensing, extending, and revoking labor leasing licenses, creating conditions for businesses to implement;
Regulating the reporting responsibility of leasing enterprises and deposit-receiving banks to state management agencies to strengthen the inspection and supervision mechanism from state management agencies.
The implementation of legal regulations on labor leasing is basically fully implemented by state management agencies in localities and enterprises: Guidance, propaganda, and dissemination of laws are implemented by localities in many rich and effective forms; inspection and examination of labor leasing enterprises are integrated into labor law inspections and examinations;
The appraisal of licensing dossiers is carried out seriously by the Department of Home Affairs and the Provincial People's Committee, with fewer violations occurring; The implementation of information and reporting regimes is fully implemented by localities and businesses;
The compliance with legal regulations on licensing, depositing, implementing labor subleasing according to job lists, and implementing regimes and policies for subleased workers are implemented relatively fully by subleasing enterprises and subleasing parties.
The 2025 Investment Law removes labor leasing occupations from the list of conditional business lines. On May 18, 2026, the Government issued Resolution No. 66.18/2026/NQ-CP on decentralization, delegation, reduction, and simplification of administrative procedures and business conditions, which amends and supplements regulations on labor leasing to be consistent with the provisions of the 2025 Investment Law and ensure the effectiveness of state management of labor leasing in the coming time.
