Vietnam Employment Law: Key Compliance Considerations for Businesses

We recently hosted our webinar “Vietnam Employment Law: Key Compliance Considerations for Businesses”, where our Partner Ho Thuy Ngoc Tram, Senior Associate Nguyen Le Quynh Chi, and Associate Hoang Thi Thuy Vy shared key legal developments and practical insights into employment law issues facing businesses in Vietnam.

Against the backdrop of Vietnam's evolving employment regulatory landscape, businesses must stay informed of legislative changes and emerging judicial trends to effectively manage workforce-related risks, protect confidential information and safeguard their commercial interests.

During the session, our speakers provided an overview of Frasers' recently published Vietnam Employment Law Guide 2026, alongside updates on key legislative developments and practical insights into contentious employment matters, covering:

• Key provisions and practical considerations highlighted in the Vietnam Employment Law Guide 2026;
• Recent legislative developments relating to electronic employment contracts, work permits and labour subleasing;
• Key employment disputes, including the enforceability of non-compete restrictions, protection of confidential information and trade secrets, garden leave, and unilateral termination of employment contracts; and
• Evolving court approaches, key risk areas and practical strategies to mitigate exposure and protect business interests.

The discussion highlighted the importance of keeping pace with legal developments and understanding how employment laws are applied in practice to support effective risk management and informed business decisions.
