The 6 weekend-falling public holidays in 2028 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 6 weekday-falling entries. Vietnam observes 11 statutory public holiday days under Article 112 of the Labour Code 2019. Tet (Lunar New Year) is the longest single closure at 5-9 days when adjacent weekends are pulled in. Hung Kings Commemoration Day (10th day of 3rd lunar month) and National Day (September 2-3) anchor the civil calendar.

Provincial and ethnic-minority commemorations (Khmer New Year in Mekong Delta provinces, Cham New Year, hill-tribe festivals) are not in this national set. The annual Tet make-up working Saturdays gazetted by the Government are not added as separate working days here.
