2. The list of region-I, region-II, region-III and region-IV subregions is provided in the Appendix enclosed herewith.

3. Determination of a subregion as the basis for application of the statutory minimum wages shall be conducted based on the employer’s place of operation. To be specific:

a) An employer operating in a specific subregion shall apply the respective statutory minimum wages applied thereto.

b) Where an employer has affiliates or branches operating in different subregions to which different statutory minimum wages apply, each affiliate or branch shall apply the respective minimum wages applied to the subregion in which it operates.

c) Where an employer operates in an industrial park, export processing zone, hi-tech park, concentrated digital technology zone, special economic zone, free trade zone or high-tech agricultural zone located in the territory containing two or more subregions to which different statutory minimum wages apply, the highest minimum wage shall apply.

d) Where an employer operates in a subregion which is renamed or divided, the statutory minimum wage applied to that subregion before it is renamed or divided shall continue to apply until otherwise provided for by the Government.

dd) Where an employer operates in a subregion which is converted or established from a subregion or by consolidation of two or more subregions to which different statutory minimum wages apply, the highest statutory minimum wage shall apply until otherwise provided for by the Government.

Article 4. Application of statutory minimum wages

1. The monthly statutory minimum wage is the lowest wage serving as the basis for negotiating and paying wages to employees remunerated on a monthly basis. The wage paid to an employee for the job or position performed shall not be lower than the monthly statutory minimum wage, provided that the employee works the normal working hours in the month and fulfils the agreed labour productivity norms or work requirements.

2. The hourly statutory minimum wage is the lowest wage serving as the basis for negotiating and paying wages to employees remunerated on an hourly basis. The wage paid to an employee for the job or position performed for each hour worked shall not be lower than the hourly statutory minimum wage, provided that the employee fulfils the agreed labour productivity norms or work requirements.

3. Where an employee is remunerated on a weekly or daily basis, on a piece-rate basis or on a task-based basis, the wage payable under each such method, when converted into a monthly or hourly wage, shall not be lower than the applicable monthly or hourly statutory minimum wage. The conversion of such wage into a monthly or hourly wage shall be based on the normal working hours determined by the employer in accordance with the labour laws, as follows:

a) The converted monthly wage shall be calculated as follows: the weekly wage multiplied by 52 and divided by 12; or the daily wage multiplied by the number of normal working days in a month; or the piece-rate wages or task-based wages earned for work performed during the normal working hours in a month.

b) The converted hourly wage shall be calculated as follows: the weekly wage divided by the normal working hours in a week, or the daily wage divided by the normal working hours in a day; or the piece-rate wages or task-based wages divided by the number of hours within the normal working hours required to produce the relevant products or perform the assigned tasks.

Article 5. Effect and responsibility for implementation

1. This Decree comes into force from January 01, 2027.

2. The Government’s Decree No. 293/2025/ND-CP dated November 10, 2025 shall cease to have effect from the effective date of this Decree.

3. Employers shall review the provisions agreed upon in employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements, as well as their internal rules and regulations, and make any necessary amendments or additions to ensure compliance with this Decree. Employers shall not abolish or reduce any benefits relating to wages for overtime work, night work, in-kind allowances or any other benefits as prescribed by the Labour Code. Any provisions agreed upon or commitments made in employment contracts, collective bargaining agreements or other lawful agreements that are more favourable to employees than those prescribed in this Decree (including provisions on the payment of wages at rates at least 7% higher than the statutory minimum wage to employees performing jobs or holding positions requiring vocational training or education, and at rates at least 5% higher than the wage rates applicable to jobs or positions of equivalent complexity performed under normal working conditions to employees performing jobs or holding positions involving arduous, hazardous or dangerous working conditions, or at least 7% higher in the case of extremely arduous, hazardous or dangerous working conditions) shall continue to apply, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
