2020

After nearly 7 years of implementation, the provisions of the Labor Code 2012 are assessed as being no longer suitable to economic and social conditions and improvement requirements in corporate human resource management in the context of the impact of the 41st technological revolution. Therefore, on November 20, 2019, the National Assembly officially passed Labor Code No. 45/2019/QH14 (Labor Code 2019) to replace the Labor Code 2012. This Labor Code 2019 will officially take effect on January 1, 2021.

The Comments in this volume are presented by Nguyen Thi Kim Chau and Vu Thi Dieu Thao.

In 2020, 05 legal documents will take effect, including: (i) Law on Public Investment 2019, (ii) Law on Prevention and Control of Harmful Effects of Alcoholic Beverages 2019, (iii) Law on Execution of Criminal Judgements 2019, (iv) Law on Animal Husbandry 2018 and (v) Law on Crop Production 2018. In addition, in 2019, the Labor Code 2019 was approved by the National Assembly and will take effect on January 01, 2021. The amendments and supplements in the Labor Code 2019 receive much attention from the public, and especially employees and employers – the main subjects affected by this code.
