Main Article Content
Abstract
In recent years, the increasing number of foreign employees in Vietnam has positively influenced the domestic labor market. According to theDepartment of Employment of Vietnam statistic by April 2021, there are 101,500 foreign employees, including about 85,000 people with work permits and nearly 16,000 peopleexempted from work permits. In addition, the market has witnessed a diversity of nationalities with more than 100 different countries and regions. The transnational labor movement has a great contribution to the overall development of Vietnam. Therefore, to protect the right to work of foreigners in Vietnam and balance interests with employers, the government has updated and provided modifications on policies of foreign labor management, especially in the legal framework governing labor contracts under current domestic laws. On the basis of the survey, doctrinal, and comparative legal research, this article will evaluate and analyze amendments under the Labor Code 2019 regardingforeign labor contracts in Vietnam from practical perspectives.
