Employer of Record in Vietnam

In Vietnam, Gloroots serves as a leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and Employer of Record (EOR) service provider, fully equipped to manage all your HR, payroll, compliance, and employment needs while ensuring strict adherence to local laws and regulations.

Why use Vietnam EOR?

When businesses aim to expand in Vietnam, the usual method often involves establishing a local branch, a process that can be time-consuming and extend over several months.Another challenge to address is ensuring that your hiring practices align with Vietnam's labor regulations. 


For example, in Vietnam employment contracts vary with scope of service, and duration: Indefinite-term contracts, definite-term contracts (lasting from 1 to 36 months), contracts for specific or seasonal tasks under 12 months.  Secondly, all trade unions in Vietnam operate under the umbrella of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL). This structure contrasts with many countries where multiple independent trade unions exist. Employers in certain sectors are required to establish a grassroots trade union within their organization.



These laws can confound even experienced employers. Gloroots offers a reliable solution for multinational companies seeking access to Vietnam's skilled workforce while avoiding the complexities of managing labor regulations. Through our Professional Employer Organization (PEO) services, we act as intermediaries, ensuring that your employees enjoy a seamless and favorable work environment in Vietnam.




EOR Costs in Vietnam

EOR/ PEO services in Vietnam can be billed using two methods: a fixed yearly fee per employee or a calculated fee based on the company's annual payroll. The first option generally falls within a specific range, while the second option is a percentage of the total payroll.

Gloroots provides an equally competitive platform in Vietnam at an attractive rate. Our pricing guarantees that your company and its employees receive the necessary HR support for optimal performance.

Key Metrics For Foreign Employers

The Vietnamese government has been actively driving substantial economic reforms, promoting private ownership, pursuing market-oriented restructuring, and implementing comprehensive five-year economic plans. 

Education has been a paramount focus for the government, with a substantial allocation of 20% of its budget since 2008. This strategic investment has led to the cultivation of a highly skilled workforce, particularly in the services sector.

Separation

Termination Process

Grounds for termination are determined by the criteria specified in labor law regulations, which may include persistent failure to meet work standards or engaging in misconduct.

Termination notices must be provided in written form. It is prohibited to terminate an employee while they are on paid leave.

Notice Period

Termination notice must be in written form, and the duration of the notice period varies depending on the contract type:

  •  45 days for an indefinite labor contract.
  •  30 days for a definite labor contract lasting between 1 to 3 years.
  • 3 working days for a seasonal contract, which is a contract for less than one year.
  • No notice is necessary during the probationary period.

Severance Pay

In accordance with Vietnamese labor law, employers are obligated to offer severance compensation to employees who have worked consistently for them for 12 months or longer. The severance pay amounts to half a month's salary for each year of service. Both the employer and employee contribute to a severance fund each month, and the employee receives a calculated sum from this fund upon termination.

Probation Periods

For regular employees in Vietnam, the duration of the probationary period typically depends on the complexity and skill demands of the position, ranging from 6 to 60 days. In managerial roles, the probationary period might extend up to 180 days. It's essential to have a written agreement regarding the employee's salary during the probationary period, which, however, cannot be lower than 85% of the full-time permanent salary for the given role.
