Guide to Vietnamese labor law for the garment industry
Better Work Vietnam has produced this Guide with the aim of helping employers, employees, international buyers, and other stakeholders better understand the obligations and rights stipulated under Vietnamese labour law. The guide integrates every major source of Vietnam labour law into one easy-to-use booklet.
This Guide reflects the standards set by national law. However, for the fundamental rights at work (freedom of association and collective bargaining, the elimination of forced labour, the abolition of child labour, and the elimination of employment discrimination), Better Work Vietnam assesses compliance in accordance with international labour standards. Accordingly, Better Work Vietnam’s assessment standards for fundamental rights vary from the Guide in areas where national law differs from international standards.
