The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs proposed swapping working days so that workers can have 5 consecutive days off on the occasion of April 30 - May 1, 2024.
The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) has just sent a dispatch to relevant agencies to seek opinions on swapping working days on the occasion of the April 30 Victory Day and May 1 International Labor Day holidays so that workers can have 5 consecutive days off.
The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs said that in 2024, the holiday of Victory Day April 30 and International Labor Day May 1 will be on April 29 (Monday), between the holiday and the weekly day off.

Therefore, there is a proposal to swap the normal working day (April 29) and make up for it with another day on the occasion of the April 30 Victory Day and May 1 International Labor Day holidays in 2024, so that cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers can have 5 consecutive days off.
According to Clause 3, Article 112 of the 2019 Labor Code, only the Prime Minister is assigned to decide specifically on Lunar New Year and National Day holidays, not other holidays.
However, by arranging to swap the normal working day (Monday, April 29) and make up for it on another day, officials, civil servants, public employees and workers will have 5 consecutive days off.
This helps stimulate tourism and social consumption, promoting economic growth. At the same time, this exchange does not change the working time fund of cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers.
Therefore, the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs proposes that the Prime Minister consider and decide on the above-mentioned exchange of working hours.
