In April 2025, civil servants and workers will have 7 days off.

Next April, civil servants, public employees, and workers will have two consecutive holidays in the same month, including a three-day Hung King Commemoration Day holiday and a five-day April 30–May 1 holiday.

According to the 2019 Labor Code, employees are entitled to 1 day off for Hung Kings' Commemoration Day (March 10th of the Lunar calendar); 1 day off for Victory Day (April 30th of the Gregorian calendar); and 1 day off for International Labor Day (May 1st of the Gregorian calendar). During these days, employees are entitled to take time off from work and receive full pay.

If these holidays coincide with weekly holidays, the employee will be given compensatory days off on the following day. Every year, based on actual conditions, the Prime Minister decides on specific holidays according to regulations.

Therefore, in 2025, the Hung King's Commemoration Day falls on Monday, the first working day of the week. Officials, civil servants, public employees and workers who do not work on Saturdays and Sundays will have 3 consecutive days off, because the 2 consecutive days before the holiday are weekly days off. The time is from April 5 to April 7, 2025.

In case the employee's weekly day off is only Sunday, the Hung King's Commemoration Day holiday in 2025 will last for 2 consecutive days, from April 6 to April 7, 2025.

On the occasion of April 30 and May 1, according to the announcement of the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (now the Ministry of Home Affairs ), civil servants and public employees will have their working days changed from Friday, May 2, to Saturday, April 26.

Thus, during this holiday, civil servants and public employees will have 5 consecutive days off, from Wednesday, April 30, to Sunday, May 4 (working as a compensatory day on Saturday, April 26).

Agencies and units implementing the April 30 and May 1 holidays should pay attention to arranging and organizing on-duty departments according to regulations and work reasonably to handle continuous work, ensuring good service to the organization and the people. In particular, pay attention to assigning officers and civil servants to be on-duty to handle sudden and unexpected work that may occur during the holidays according to regulations.

Thus, workers will soon have 2 consecutive holidays, lasting 8 days, of which 7 days fall in April 2025.
