Businesses in the Central region simultaneously support gasoline costs for workers

Simultaneously deploying support

In the Central region, especially in areas with many industrial parks such as Da Nang and Quang Ngai, the policy of supporting gasoline money for workers is being implemented by many businesses with different scales and methods.

Hoa Tho Textile and Garment Joint Stock Corporation (headquartered in Da Nang) is one of the units implementing large-scale support. The enterprise has unexpectedly spent more than 2.2 billion VND to support 200,000 VND/person for more than 10,000 workers throughout the system.

This amount is paid directly, not included in the monthly salary, in order to promptly share difficulties with workers when gasoline prices increase.

Not only supporting once, at Hoa Tho member units, this policy is also maintained regularly. At Hoa Tho Quang Ngai Garment Factory, the gasoline support level ranges from 100,000 - 300,000 VND/person/month.

In the recent support phase alone, more than 700 workers received an additional 200,000 VND/person, with a total budget of more than 150 million VND.

Along with that, Thuyen Nguyen Import-Export Co., Ltd. (Quang Ngai) implemented support of 200,000 VND/person/month for more than 1,300 workers for 3 months (from April to the end of June 2026), with a total budget of about 780 million VND.

In Da Nang, Celebrity Fashion Vina Co., Ltd. also provides support of 200,000 VND/person for about 1,000 workers. This is an additional support in addition to existing allowances, implemented in the context of high fuel prices.

Some other businesses such as Hitech Vietnam Apparel also participate in supporting gasoline costs for more than 2,000 workers. The common point of these policies is that they are implemented quickly, directly and target the most practical needs of workers, which are daily travel costs.

According to records, the common support level is currently about 200,000 VND/person, paid monthly or in installments, depending on the conditions of each business.

Timely support, creating the effect of retaining labor

Not only materially meaningful, gasoline support also creates a clear psychological impact on workers.

Ms. Tran Thi Thu Thanh - a garment worker at Thuyen Nguyen Import-Export Co., Ltd. - said: "Gasoline costs each month are also a significant amount. When the company provides additional support, we feel that our spending is somewhat reduced and we are more assured to work.

On the business side, this policy is seen as a solution to share difficulties in the context that input costs and living expenses are both under pressure. A representative of Thuyen Nguyen Import-Export Co., Ltd. said that although the gasoline support is not large, it shows the companionship of businesses, helping workers stabilize their psychology and stick to work.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mong Hoai - Deputy Director, Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Hoa Tho Garment Factory Quang Ngai - assessed that the timely adjustment of support has received the consensus of workers, contributing to creating motivation for them to feel secure in working for a long time.

From the reality of implementation at enterprises, it can be seen that a common point is that welfare policies are gradually shifting towards greater flexibility. Instead of just maintaining fixed regimes, enterprises proactively supplement support at specific times, associated with market fluctuations and workers' lives.

In the context of increasing labor competition, especially in the Central region - where many labor-intensive industries such as textiles and garments, and footwear are concentrated, practical care will become an important factor in retaining workers.

Reality shows that, although the value is not large, timely support is significant. Not only does it help reduce spending pressure, it is also a signal that workers are being cared for, thereby strengthening trust and attachment to the business.
