Especially, in the period before Tet, employers must take measures to take care of and support employees by salary and bonus, help employees return home to celebrate Tet by bus, train, or give welfare gifts to employees.

By the solutions from the provincial to local levels, the labor and employment situation in the area is gradually being stabilized. Employees receive some good news when Tet care activities of trade unions and localities are being thoughtfully implemented and job connection is promoting effectively.
