As the year draws to a close and the Lunar New Year approaches, the topic of Tet bonuses becomes a hot topic of discussion in factories, workshops, and businesses everywhere.

High Tet bonuses provide added motivation for continued commitment.

In the context of a previously volatile economic environment, this year's Tet bonus levels are considered a positive sign, reflecting the efforts of the business community to recover production and business activities, and demonstrating an increasingly clear concern for the material and spiritual well-being of workers.

Sam Van Vinh, a worker at Everwin Precision Vietnam, said that after three years of working there, this year he received the highest Tet bonus ever, double his monthly salary. "Not only me, but many of my colleagues are very excited. The high Tet bonus shows that the company is operating efficiently and truly cares about its employees," Vinh shared.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thu Trang, Chairwoman of the Trade Union of Everwin Precision Vietnam Company, this year all employees in the company are guaranteed a warm and joyful Tet holiday. In addition to an average Tet bonus of over 5.5 million VND per person, equivalent to a 13th-month salary, employees also enjoy many other benefits such as Tet gifts from trade unions at all levels, cultural and recreational activities leading up to Tet, and close attention from the company's leadership.

Ms. Trang stated that, given the company's foreign investment nature, the Tet bonus system is based on labor performance and categorized by rank. However, generally speaking, most employees feel recognized upon receiving the Tet bonus, which further enhances their love for their work and work environment. "The bond between employees and the company has become a cultural hallmark of the organization," Ms. Trang emphasized.

At Minh Anh Garment Company, thanks to favorable production and business conditions, the management board has already planned for Tet bonuses and salary increases for over 300 employees in 2026. A company representative stated that this year's Tet bonus is equivalent to one month's basic salary, continuing the company's policy of increasing bonuses year after year. In addition, the company is also giving Tet gifts and providing financial support for departments and divisions to organize their own year-end parties, creating a warm and festive atmosphere before the New Year.

At the recently held year-end party, employees not only enjoyed cultural performances but also participated in a raffle with many valuable prizes. Notably, there were grand prizes including Alpha motorbikes, along with dozens of other prizes such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and rice cookers. On this occasion, the company also rewarded individuals who achieved outstanding results in labor and production, as well as those who excelled in ensuring workplace safety.

Minh Tri Garment Co., Ltd. is also one of the companies with a Tet bonus system that is considered quite generous. This year, the company applies a bonus system based on job position, with the highest amount reaching 2 months' salary and the lowest equal to 1 month's basic salary. Mr. Tran Dinh Nguyen - representative of the company's office - said that Minh Tri Garment Co., Ltd. always considers its employees as its most valuable asset. Therefore, taking care of the material and spiritual lives of its employees is a top priority and considered an integral part of its corporate culture.

Currently, the salary of employees at Minh Tri Garment Co., Ltd. ranges from 7.8 to 11 million VND per month. Every year, in addition to the 13th-month Tet bonus, the company also implements many health care programs, ensuring full benefits regarding rest, maternity leave, and especially prioritizing female employees who are raising young children. “We want our employees to understand that when they are committed to a successful business that always cares about their rights, stability and fulfillment, both materially and spiritually, will be guaranteed,” Mr. Nguyen shared.

According to the Provincial Labor Union, as of now, no businesses have reported not giving Tet bonuses. Many businesses have received orders again, organized overtime work, and created additional income for their employees. Surveys show that most businesses are giving Tet bonuses, with the most common amount being a 13th-month salary.

To ensure every worker has a warm and joyful Lunar New Year.

On social media platforms, many workers from Nghe An province working far from home are sharing positive information about this year's Lunar New Year bonus. In Ho Chi Minh City, the average bonus announced is around 12.7 million VND per person, higher than last year. Notably, the highest bonus reached 1.84 billion VND, showing a strong recovery and great efforts by the business community after a year of many changes.

Similarly, in Dong Nai, the highest Tet bonus announced reached 860 million VND per person, with an average of 11.4 million VND per person. Many workers believe that Tet bonuses are not just a number, but also a recognition of their efforts and perseverance throughout the year. This joy becomes even more complete when shared publicly and spread on social media, creating an atmosphere of excitement in anticipation of the new year.

In the public sector, the implementation of Decree No. 73 has brought about positive changes in the Tet bonus system for teachers and education officials. For the first time in many years, the issue of teachers' Tet bonuses is being discussed with more enthusiasm, as the bonus payment mechanism is linked to job performance and is transparent and clear. According to many opinions, this is a practical source of motivation, helping the teaching staff feel secure in their work and prepare for Tet with a more relaxed mindset.

According to the Department of Internal Affairs, a review of the projected average Tet bonus for the Year of the Horse 2026 shows a total of 4.97 million VND per person, with the highest being 87 million VND and the lowest 200,000 VND. Specifically, the average bonus for state-owned enterprises is 4.8 million VND; for enterprises with controlling state capital, it's 5.7 million VND; for private enterprises, it's 3.9 million VND; and for FDI enterprises, it's 5.5 million VND per person.

Besides bonuses, other forms of Tet holiday care such as gifts, lucky money envelopes, shopping vouchers, and assistance with transportation home are also highly appreciated by workers. "In the final days of the year, such timely attention is very meaningful, helping workers feel secure in arranging their work and have a more fulfilling Tet holiday," Mr. Quynh commented.
