A timesheet in Vietnam helps an employer connect work performed to payroll, attendance review, and employee records. Vietnam's Labour Code requires employers to prepare and update a physical or electronic employee book and report employment-status changes, but it does not create an EU-style rule requiring objective daily working-time records for all employees. The timesheet still needs enough detail to support wage calculations and internal approval.
Use the record to show dates worked, start and end times, ordinary hours, overtime hours, night-work hours, leave, and manager approval. 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.
Normal working hours in Vietnam must not exceed 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week. If the employer schedules work by week, daily working hours may not exceed 10 hours and weekly hours may not exceed 48 hours. The state encourages 40-hour workweeks, so a timesheet should preserve the actual schedule used for each team or location.
Overtime needs its own fields because the employee must agree before the employer requests it, and statutory daily, monthly, and annual limits still apply. Minimum overtime pay rates are 150% on normal days, 200% on weekly days off, and 300% on public holidays or paid leave. Night work runs from 22:00 to 06:00 and requires at least a 30% premium.
A useful Vietnam timesheet flags overtime volume before payroll is finalized. Overtime generally may not exceed 50% of normal working hours in a day. Under weekly scheduling, total normal plus overtime work may not exceed 12 hours in a day. Monthly overtime may not exceed 40 hours, and annual overtime may not exceed 200 hours except specified cases.
Some selected sectors and urgent cases may use up to 300 overtime hours per year. Employers organizing that higher-limit overtime must notify the provincial labour authority in writing. A manager should check month-to-date and year-to-date overtime before approving a timesheet, because a clean daily total can still create a monthly or annual compliance issue.
A free timesheet is enough when you need one weekly record for a small team, a contractor recap, or a payroll correction. It should show hours, categories, approvals, and VND payroll details clearly enough for review. Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law, effective January 1, 2026, and Decree 356/2025/ND-CP also make worker-identifying time data a personal-data processing issue.
A managed workflow fits teams that repeat the same review every week across projects, clients, or departments. Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through timers or manual entries, works inside supported project tools, and feeds timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admin controls such as approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules reduce cleanup after the pay period closes.

Vietnam requires employers to maintain and update an employee book, either physical or electronic, and report employment-status changes. The Labour Code does not set an EU-style universal rule requiring objective daily working-time records for all employees. Employers still need accurate working-time data when payroll, overtime, night-work premiums, leave, or internal approvals depend on hours worked.
A payroll-ready Vietnam timesheet should include employee name or ID, work date, ordinary hours, overtime hours, weekly day-off work, public holiday or paid leave work, night work from 22:00 to 06:00, deductions if any, and approval status. The salary payment note should show salary, overtime pay, nightshift pay, and deductions in Vietnamese dong, except where foreign employee rules apply.
Managers should review daily, monthly, and annual overtime before approving time. Overtime generally may not exceed 50% of normal working hours in a day, and total normal plus overtime work may not exceed 12 hours in a day under weekly scheduling. Monthly overtime may not exceed 40 hours, while annual overtime generally may not exceed 200 hours except specified cases.
Night work has a separate pay treatment in Vietnam. Work from 22:00 to 06:00 must receive at least a 30% premium, and night overtime also adds at least 20% of the day-work salary for the relevant day type. A single overtime column hides that difference and creates payroll risk when night, weekly day-off, or public holiday work occurs.
Employee time-tracking data that identifies a worker should be handled as personal data processing under Vietnam's Personal Data Protection Law, effective January 1, 2026, and Decree 356/2025/ND-CP. Employers should give proper notice, obtain consent or rely on a lawful exemption, and apply the relevant controller or processor obligations when collecting, storing, or sharing timesheets.
Everhour Time Tracking records task and project hours through live timers or manual entries, then feeds timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer behavior rules so submitted time is reviewed before it becomes a payroll or billing input.
Everhour embeds tracking controls inside supported tools such as Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and Basecamp. Teams can keep task work in those systems while tracked time flows into one reporting layer for timesheets, budgets, utilization, and billing.
Track task and project hours, review submitted timesheets, lock approved periods, and carry clean time data into payroll or billing with Everhour Time Tracking.
