Workers are anxiously waiting for their Tet bonuses like waiting for "mother to come home from the market".
These days, the story of Tet bonus is a hot topic among workers.
Workers in all fields, from foreign enterprises, large or small companies, are all anxiously waiting for their Tet bonus.
The Tet bonus will be different each year, because it will be calculated based on productivity, competition and the company's business situation during the year.
But in general, the Tet bonus is the income and hope of many workers at the end of the year.
That amount of money has been calculated and planned for many expenses for Tet, such as: gifts for parents, buying new clothes for children, gifts for both parents and relatives, shopping for family... If anyone lives far away, they still have to worry about travel expenses, everything depends on the Tet bonus.
Most workers in industrial zones work far from home. Tet is the time for them to reunite with their families, stay with their parents for a few short days, and visit relatives and friends after a year of working far away. Therefore, all expenses must be carefully calculated, carefully and economically. After a year of hard work, diligence, and overtime, many people only hope to receive a well-deserved Tet bonus at the end of the year.
The fact that businesses announce their Tet bonus early shows their concern for their employees, is the most practical action to show recognition and gratitude for their contributions to the company. A stable monthly salary, plus a worthy Tet bonus, is also a criterion to keep employees staying and dedicating themselves to the business.
Therefore, all workers want to know the Tet bonus information early so that they can plan this year "whether to celebrate Tet big or small", "or not to go back to their hometown". Because most workers have to receive their bonus before they go shopping for Tet. If the bonus is small, they will spend sparingly during Tet that year, and many people may have to spend their savings.
The story of the year-end bonus also carries mixed emotions of joy and sadness. Some companies give bonuses worth hundreds of millions, but some give bonuses equal to a month's basic salary, and many give bonuses even lower.
2024 continues to be a year of many fluctuations, many businesses close down, cut staff, "less work, more people" also makes it more difficult for workers. Although they understand and sympathize with businesses and employers, they also hope for a better life.
So this year's Tet bonus brings a lot of emotions, for many people "it's fun to have", but most workers hope to receive a suitable and worthy Tet bonus.
According to the 2019 Labor Code, there are no specific regulations requiring businesses to give Tet bonuses to employees.
However, Tet bonuses have long been a good tradition of businesses in Vietnam with many meanings to encourage employees after a year of hard work. Regardless of whether that year is favorable or difficult, businesses strive to find many production and business solutions to maintain operations, create jobs and pay salaries and Tet bonuses to employees. On the other hand, Tet bonuses are also a way to retain skilled and experienced employees to stay with the business for a long time.
Tet is coming very soon. Big or small Tet for workers depends on the year-end bonus.
