In Vietnam, for employees working in the state, i.e. cadres,
civil servants and public employees, do they have the same minimum wage as employees working in the
private sector?
In Vietnam, the regulation on regional minimum wages is only
applied to the labor force working in the private sector, i.e.
private enterprises, but not to the group of cadres, civil servants
and public employees working in the public sector, that is, working
for the state.
Pursuant to Article 91 of the Labor Code 45/2019/QH14, the
subjects of application of the minimum wage are:
– Employees work under labor contracts in accordance with
the provisions of the Labor Code.
– Employers according to the provisions of the Labor Code,
including enterprises and agencies, organizations, cooperatives,
households, and individuals that hire and employ employees to work
for them according to the provisions of the Labor Code.
