According to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, cadres, civil servants, public employees and employees of administrative agencies, public service agencies, political organizations, and socio-political organizations will have a holiday for National Day 2024 from Saturday (August 31) to Tuesday (September 3).

This holiday includes 2 days off for National Day and 2 days off every week. Thus, civil servants and public employees of administrative agencies, public service agencies, political organizations, and socio-political organizations will have a maximum of 4 days off according to the above content.

Agencies and units that do not have a fixed schedule for Saturdays and Sundays every week will arrange a suitable schedule based on the specific program and plan of the unit.

For employees, employers decide to choose the National Day holiday option as Monday (September 2) and choose 1 of 2 days: Sunday (September 1) or Tuesday (September 3).

Thus, for employees with 1 day off/week falling on Sunday, the National Day holiday on September 2 will last 3 days from September 1 to September 3 if they choose to take the holiday on Sunday (September 1) or last 2 days from September 2 to September 3 if they choose to take the holiday on Tuesday, September 3.

For employees with 2 days off per week falling on Saturday and Sunday, the National Day holiday on September 2 will last 4 days from August 31 to September 3.

Notify employees of the 2024 National Day holiday plan at least 30 days before implementation.
