Overtime limit could be tripled
VTV.vn - The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs has proposed lifting the cap on overtime from 200 hours to 600 hours per year under a proposed amendment to the Labor Code.

Another proposed option is to scrap the annual overtime limit entirely, but restrict employees to a daily cap of 12 hours. This proposal follows businesses’ campaigning  and evidence that overtime currently has to account for up to a third of employee earnings. The proposal will be submitted to National Assembly Standing Committee in March. The proposed amendment would be submitted to the National Assembly in April if agreed.
