Use this workflow to collect project hours by person, task, client, and date, then review those hours before they move into payroll, billing, or management reports. Vietnam does not set an EU-style rule requiring objective daily working-time records for all employees, but the Labour Code requires employers to prepare and update a physical or electronic employee book and report employment-status changes.
Project records also need to fit Vietnam payroll practice. Salary in employment contracts and actual payment must be in Vietnamese dong except for foreign employees, and each salary payment must include a note showing salary, overtime pay, nightshift pay, and deductions if any. A project app should therefore separate billable delivery data from pay-impacting time categories.
A useful project record starts with the employee, project, task, date, start time, end time, break handling, approval status, and comments for unusual entries. Project and client labels help managers review budget and delivery, while daily totals help payroll teams see whether the time belongs to normal work, overtime, night work, or paid absence.
Vietnam's normal working hours must not exceed 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week. If an employer applies working hours on a weekly basis, daily working hours may not exceed 10 hours and weekly hours may not exceed 48 hours, and the state encourages 40-hour workweeks. Those limits make daily and weekly views more useful than a single monthly project total.
Project time tracking in Vietnam should flag overtime before it becomes a payroll correction. An employer may request overtime only when the employee agrees and the statutory daily, monthly, and annual overtime limits are respected. Overtime generally may not exceed 50% of normal working hours in a day, 40 hours per month, and 200 hours per year except specified cases.
Night work needs separate treatment because the pay rule changes by time of day. Night work runs from 22:00 to 06:00 and must be paid with at least a 30% premium. Overtime at night also adds at least 20% of the day-work salary for the relevant day type. A project app should keep time bands visible instead of burying them inside one total.
A free one-off tracker is enough when you need a weekly project total, a clean export, or a short review before sending hours to accounting. It works for freelancers, small client jobs, and teams that only need a simple VND summary. It stops being enough when managers need approvals, locked periods, repeatable reporting, and a record of changes.
A managed workflow fits ongoing Vietnam teams that need project, payroll, and billing views from the same time data. Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, exports, and scheduled delivery. That gives managers a cleaner handoff than rebuilding project hours from chat messages and spreadsheets.

Vietnam's Labour Code requires employers to prepare and update a physical or electronic employee book and report employment-status changes. It does not set an EU-style rule requiring objective daily working-time records for all employees. Employers still need reliable working-hour records to manage contracts, overtime consent, payroll notes, and internal approvals.
Project managers should watch daily totals, weekly totals, monthly overtime, and annual overtime. Normal working hours must not exceed 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week. Under weekly scheduling, daily working hours may not exceed 10 hours and weekly hours may not exceed 48 hours. Overtime generally may not exceed 40 hours per month and 200 hours per year except specified cases.
A project app can support overtime agreement by recording the employee, date, project, requested extra hours, approval status, and manager comment. It does not replace the employer's duty to obtain employee agreement. Vietnam allows an employer to request overtime only when the employee agrees and the statutory daily, monthly, and annual overtime limits are respected.
Yes. Each salary payment must include a note showing salary, overtime pay, nightshift pay, and deductions if any. Project time records should separate ordinary time, overtime, and night work so payroll can apply the correct VND calculation and show the required breakdown instead of forcing one combined project total into the salary note.
Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law takes effect on January 1, 2026, together with Decree 356/2025/ND-CP. Employee time-tracking data that identifies a worker should be handled as personal data processing, with notice, consent or a lawful exemption, and relevant controller or processor obligations. The main mistake is tracking more activity data than the workflow needs.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports. Managers can build reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF, then use those views to review Vietnam project hours before billing or payroll handoff.
Track approved project hours, group them by client or task, and export reporting views for billing and payroll review. Everhour gives Vietnam teams a cleaner workflow from time entry to reporting.
