LABOUR RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING
An enterprise is entitled to recruit Vietnamese citizens aged eighteen (18) years or older in any of the following ways:
1. To recruit from those who are introduced by the local labour office, and who meet the criteria and qualifications required by the enterprise.
2. To engage a labour supply company or an investment service company to recruit labour in accordance with the criteria and qualifications specified by the enterprise.
3. In the event that those who are introduced by the local labour office or through the labour supply company or investment service company, do not meet the requirements of the enterprise, the enterprise shall be entitled to publish widely an advertisement for labour recruitment, and may even recruit persons who reside in other localities provided the local labour office is informed.
for the purpose of training, the enterprise may employ workers aged sixteen (16) years or older. If, at the end of their training, those workers are still under the age of eighteen (18) and the enterprise requires them to work, it must obtain the approval of their parents or guardians. Where those workers have no parents or guardians, approval shall be obtained from the local labour office.
In using the labour of persons under eighteen (18) years of age, the enterprise shall observe all the provisions contained in articles 31, 35, and 49 of these Regulations, and all other regulations which relate to the protection of young persons.
In the event that advanced technical, managerial or other qualifications are required in respect of which Vietnamese personnel are not available, the enterprise may recruit foreigners for a fixed period of time in accordance with the procedures stipulated by the State of Vietnam. The enterprise is obliged in doing so, however, to make and implement a plan to train Vietnamese personnel to replace those foreign employees at the earliest possible time.
The enterprise shall, at its own expense, make a general training plan. It may establish schools and training courses within the enterprise and send its employees at all levels for training elsewhere in Vietnam or overseas in order to improve their occupational skills. Local bodies may co-operate with and support training plans which are of benefit to the locality.
In every case of employment of a Vietnamese worker a labour contract shall be negotiated and signed in writing by the employee and the director, or a person authorized by him, of the enterprise.
A labour contract shall be signed in accordance with the standard form issued by the Ministry of Labour War Invalids and Social Affairs.
A labour contract may be signed in any of the following forms:

During the trial period, either party may terminate the contract without giving notice or compensation. At the conclusion of the trial period the worker shall be informed of the results o f the trial work. Where the trial period expires without notice from the enterprise and the worker continues working, a labour contract shall be considered to be in force.
A labour contract shall be effective as of the date agreed by the parties. Where the parties have not agreed on such a date the contract will be deemed effective as of the date on which the worker actually commences work or trial work.
If, during performance of the labour contract, either party wishes to amend it, that party shall give notice in advance to the other party of its intention, and any change agreed shall be made in accordance with the same principles and procedures original ly adopted in the signing of the contract. Where the change is in relation to any of the items referred to in article 9, a new labour contract shall be signed unless the circumstances referred to in article 13 are applicable.
