In order for all workers and laborers on all construction sites to have a Tet holiday, the Prime Minister requested local leaders to direct agencies, enterprises, investors, and contractors of important national projects and key projects to proactively implement positive measures to care for the lives and pay salaries and bonuses to workers and laborers promptly and in accordance with regulations.

The spirit emphasized by the Prime Minister is to ensure that all workers and laborers have Tet and continue to be attached to the construction site during Tet, not letting the construction unit, contractor, workers and laborers "be lonely on the construction site", especially lacking money to "celebrate Tet".

Along with that, the Government leader requested to focus on reviewing and grasping the living conditions of workers and laborers at construction sites during the Lunar New Year, especially policy beneficiaries and people in difficult circumstances (the poor, people in areas affected by natural disasters, storms, floods, landslides, etc.) to pay special attention, care, and provide timely and appropriate support.

"Organize visits and give gifts to the right people, with the right policies, openly and transparently, ensuring that all policy beneficiaries and people in difficult circumstances who stay at the construction site receive gifts before Tet," the Prime Minister directed.

The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs is assigned to preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries, agencies and localities to monitor, inspect and guide the implementation of tasks to care for the lives, regimes, policies and ensure social security for workers and laborers working at construction sites before, during and after the Lunar New Year.

The Prime Minister requested relevant ministries, agencies and localities to strengthen and proactively inspect and urge contractors to arrange sufficient machinery, equipment and construction personnel with the spirit of "overcoming the sun, overcoming the rain, not losing to the wind and storm", working "3 shifts, 4 shifts, through the night, through Tet...", "eating quickly, sleeping urgently", "only working, not backtracking" to speed up progress and ensure construction quality, bring projects to the finish line on schedule, strive to exceed the set schedule, especially projects planned to be completed in 2025.

The Vietnam General Confederation of Labor is assigned to direct the inspection and supervision of salary and bonus payments at units and enterprises, and to have plans to support and care for the lives of workers and laborers, especially those who stay to work on construction sites and projects during Tet.

For investors, project management boards, and construction contractors, the Prime Minister requested to organize a suitable New Year's Eve and Tet celebration for workers and laborers at construction sites with the spirit of "Tet on the construction site does not lack love at home".
