However, many small and medium businesses are suffering big impacts of Covid-19 pandemic with marginal operation and no benefit so giving Tet bonus seems to be a hard task.
Head of the Labour and Job Division (under DoLISA) Hoang Van Thang shared giving Tet bonus is not a compulsory regulation but every worker looks forward to this amount which is considered as the employer’s acknowledgement for one hardworking year. Actually, not all companies truly understand the nature of the bonus to have appropriate behavior to the labours.
From now on till ahead of Lunar New Year, the DoLISA focuses on expediting and ordering the enterprises to review the salary policy, prepare bonus plan and announce it publicly so as to comfort labours in production while actively cooperating with relevant sectors to know the labour relationship situation, especially at the difficult companies affected by the pandemic to have timely assistance and prevent the collective work stoppage.
