Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

Clause 2, Article 30 of the Law on Forces Participating in Protecting Security and Order at the Grassroots Level stipulates that People's Committees at all levels, within the scope of their tasks and powers, shall perform State management of forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level and have the following responsibilities:

a) Submit to the People's Council of the same level for approval and decision on plans, projects, and schemes for building and arranging forces, ensuring operating conditions for forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level, and estimates of revenue and expenditure budget to ensure the operations of forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level;

b) Issue legal documents, directives, instructions and organize the implementation of regulations on forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level according to the provisions of this Law and other relevant legal provisions;

c) Organize propaganda and dissemination of the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws on forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level under its management;

d) Manage the organization and operation of forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level according to authority; arrange locations, workplaces, funding and ensure other operating conditions for forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level according to regulations;

d) Organize emulation movements among the forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level in conjunction with local emulation movements.

Thus, whether the forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level have Saturday and Sunday off or not depends on the regulations of the People's Council and People's Committee at the same level where they are directly managed.
