You came here to record work time for people or projects connected to Vietnam, then turn those records into payroll, billing, or management review. The useful output is a clean log that shows who worked, on which day, under which schedule, on which project, and whether any hours need overtime or night-work treatment.
Vietnam's Labour Code requires employers to prepare and update a physical or electronic employee book and report employment status changes. It does not create an EU-style objective daily working-time record rule for all employees. A practical tracker still needs daily detail when hours affect normal-hour limits, overtime agreement, night premiums, or the salary note given with each payment.
Start with identifiers that payroll and project managers can trust: employee name or ID, job or department, date, work location if relevant, project or client, task, start time, end time, break time, and total hours. Add a schedule field that separates standard daily scheduling from weekly scheduling, because Vietnam uses different daily caps under those arrangements. Employee-identifying entries should be handled as personal data processing under Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law, effective January 1, 2026, and Decree 356/2025/ND-CP.
Separate normal hours, agreed overtime, weekly day off work, public holiday or paid leave work, and night work from 22:00 to 06:00. Vietnam's minimum overtime rates are 150% on normal days, 200% on weekly days off, and 300% on public holidays or paid leave; the 300% rate excludes normal daily salary for daily-paid employees on those holidays or leave days. Payroll review needs salary, overtime pay, nightshift pay, and deductions if any, with salary in employment contracts and actual payment in Vietnamese dong except for foreign employees.
Set alerts around the limits that change approval decisions. Normal working hours in Vietnam 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, while the state encourages 40-hour workweeks. A tracker should flag the schedule type before managers approve extra time.
Overtime needs an agreement from the employee and must stay within statutory daily, monthly, and annual limits. General caps include 50% of normal working hours in a day, 40 overtime hours per month, and 200 overtime hours per year. Under weekly scheduling, total normal plus overtime work may not exceed 12 hours in a day. Selected sectors and urgent cases can reach 300 overtime hours per year, with written notice to the provincial labour authority.
A simple one-off tracker is enough for a short job, a freelancer handoff, or a small internal review where you only need a dated list of hours and a clear export. It stops being enough once the same hours drive payroll notes, overtime consent review, client budgets, project margins, or recurring monthly limits across several people.
Managed tracking gives you a system of record: submitted timesheets, approved hours, budget status, billing rates, exports, and a handoff to accounting or payroll review. Everhour Project Budgeting supports hour-based and money-based budgets, recurring budget periods, threshold email alerts, budget protection, expense inclusion controls, multiple billing methods, and client-level budgets.

Vietnam's Labour Code requires an employer to prepare and update a physical or electronic employee book and report employment status changes. It does not impose an EU-style objective daily working-time record rule for all employees. Employers still need time records detailed enough to support working-hour limits, overtime agreement, night-work premiums, and payroll notes.
Add a schedule type field before calculating daily exceptions. Vietnam allows weekly scheduling, but daily working hours may not exceed 10 hours and weekly hours may not exceed 48 hours under that arrangement. The normal-hours baseline also stays capped at 48 hours per week, with the state encouraging 40-hour workweeks.
Managers should confirm the employee agreed to overtime and check the statutory caps before accepting the entry. General Vietnam limits include overtime of no more than 50% of normal working hours in a day, 40 hours per month, and 200 hours per year, except specified cases. Weekly scheduling caps normal plus overtime work at 12 hours in a day. Selected sectors and urgent cases can use up to 300 hours per year with written notice to the provincial labour authority.
Keep night work in its own time band from 22:00 to 06:00. Vietnam requires at least a 30% premium for night work. Overtime performed at night also adds at least 20% of the day-work salary for the relevant day type, so start and end times matter more than a single daily total.
Employee time entries that identify a worker should be treated as personal data processing under Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law, effective January 1, 2026, and Decree 356/2025/ND-CP. Use clear notice, consent or a lawful exemption, controlled access, and controller or processor practices that match the data collected.
Everhour Project Budgeting lets teams set hour-based or money-based budgets, recurring periods, and client-level budgets for Vietnam projects. Selected admins can receive threshold alerts, and budget protection can stop timers or block extra logging after a budget is exceeded, before overruns reach billing review.
Everhour Timesheets lets users submit weekly project hours or working hours, then managers approve, reject, or partially approve the submission. Submitted time stays locked unless withdrawn or rejected, and approved time stays locked for regular members before payroll or billing review.
Set recurring time or money budgets, send threshold alerts to admins, and stop extra logging after limits are exceeded. Everhour Project Budgeting turns tracked project hours into cleaner client billing.
