Strengthen the supervision of salaries, bonuses and care for Tet Dinh Mui 2027 for workers

On November 2nd, the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation (LĐLĐ TPHCM) just issued a document directing affiliated units on supervising the implementation of salaries, bonuses and caring for the Dinh Mui Lunar New Year 2027. This activity aims to ensure the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of workers and proactively prevent labor disputes in the city.

According to the direction, grassroots trade unions need to proactively work with employers to grasp the situation of production, business and employment.

Supervise the full and timely payment of salaries, overtime salaries, night shifts, holidays, Tet; implement the minimum wage according to regulations effective at the time of application, labor contracts, collective labor agreements and other legal agreements. Proactively request businesses to pay January 2027 salaries early or agree on a temporary advance plan for employees to shop and celebrate Tet.

Focus on proposing businesses to announce early Tet bonus plans, especially bonus levels, payment times... At the same time, proactively mobilize businesses that have conditions to pay bonuses or advance a part from November, December 2026 so that employees have funds to shop early. The mobilization needs to be based on the production and business situation and the capacity of the business, but it is necessary to persevere on the principle of ensuring the legitimate and lawful rights of employees, striving to publicize the plan before November 30, 2020.

In case the company has not finalized the bonus level, it is necessary to request notification of the progress and official announcement time so that employees can feel secure in working, avoiding employees from lacking information or misunderstandings.

Coordinate to clearly announce the Tet holiday schedule, return to work date, production plan and regimes for people working during Tet; supervise the mobilization of overtime work in accordance with regulations. Grasp the thoughts and aspirations of union members and workers, receive and respond to recommendations, explain policies, and organize dialogues when necessary to avoid prolonged frustration due to lack of information.

Review cases of salary arrears, job loss, job reduction, serious illnesses, labor accidents and other difficult cases to propose care according to criteria, resources and plans of the City Labor Federation; prioritize cases that have not been supported, avoiding duplication in the same care content.

Report immediately when detecting that the business is slow, owing salaries; late payment, prolonged social insurance debt; showing signs of cessation of operation, representatives cannot be contacted, dissolved, bankrupt or at risk of dispute, collective work stoppage... Request the upper-level trade union and competent authorities to support and handle according to regulations.

To ensure effective implementation, ward, commune, special zone trade unions and industrial park trade unions are responsible for basing their functions to guide and support grassroots trade unions; coordinate with commune-level People's Committees, Management Boards of Export Processing and Industrial Zones of Ho Chi Minh City and social insurance agencies to supervise, inspect, handle violations and support the resolution of labor disputes.

Health and education working groups implement urging and supporting grassroots trade unions under their responsibility and summarize reports directly to the City Labor Federation.
