Through our integrated advisory services in Labour Law provided to Vietnam-based or global clients, your workforce-related problems will be fully addressed with a single contact point at PwC.

Our mission is to ensure that clients’ working environment is operated following all aspects of regulatory and compliance standards.

Labour dispute settlement

In an employment relationship, opposing interests between employees and employers tend to become conflicts if the two parties cannot reconcile. Labour disputes therefore are foreseeable. In order to reduce the risk of disputes, we will assist you to strictly adopt labour regulations and comply with labour discipline procedures. In case of actual disputes, our experts are well equipped to help you resolve unwanted disagreements.   

Conduct in workplace

Regulations on anti-discrimination and anti-sexual harassment in the workplace have introduced in detail for the first time in the 2019 Labour Code of Vietnam. The purpose of such regulations is to ensure everyone has an equal opportunity and safe environment to work. Our lawyers provide solutions to help clients prevent unfair treatment based on one’s religion, age, gender… or unwelcome sexual requests or acts from happening in their workplace as well as sanction acts of violation.

Personal data protection

During the labour relations which include pre-contractual, contractual and post-contractual or even after the termination of labour relations, personal data of employees are kept by employees for some time. With our profound understanding on principles of personal data protection, we provide high-quality support to ensure that you observe fully related obligations in the process of personal data collection and procession, especially when the new regulations on this matter are issued for the first time in Vietnam.

Future work trends

Remote work has become a trend since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. How are companies adapting to the ongoing growth of remote work in terms of recruitment and management of work productivity without a fixed work location for employees collectively? With our continuous update with labour regulations and experience in dealing with uncountable problems of clients, we are confident in solving your workplace-related concerns in a legally compliant way.
