Vietnam Payroll Compliance Checklist

Our Vietnam payroll compliance process typically covers BHXH, BHYT, BHTN, and PIT alongside core employment pay rules:

  • Compulsory insurance: BHXH / BHYT / BHTN monthly calculation and remittance support.
  • Personal Income Tax: Progressive PIT for residents (commonly 5%–35%) and residency-aware treatment.
  • Labor Code pay items: OT multipliers, leave, probation, and 13th-month practices where applicable.
  • Records: Payroll registers, payslips, and declaration archives for audits.

Rates, ceilings, and forms are set by local authorities and can change. We configure your payroll to current rules and notify you when updates affect costing.

How Vietnam Payroll Outsourcing Works

A clear monthly cycle designed for accuracy, approval control, and on-time employee payments.

1

Inputs & Cut-off

Submit joiners/leavers, attendance, overtime, allowances, and one-off payments before the agreed cut-off via our HR technology platform.

2

Gross-to-Net Calculation

We calculate gross pay, BHXH, BHYT, BHTN, and PIT, and net pay, then produce draft payroll reports for your review.

3

Client Approval

Approve or request adjustments. Nothing is finalized without your go-ahead.

4

Pay & Payslips

We prepare bank payment files and issue payslips so employees are paid on your payday.

5

Statutory Filings

Insurance and tax obligations are prepared for remittance/reporting according to Vietnam deadlines and your entity setup.

Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi & Da Nang Payroll Hubs

Foreign employers usually concentrate headcount in Ho Chi Minh City (commercial & manufacturing HQ), Hanoi (government-facing & northern operations), and Da Nang / central coast (shared services and tech).

FDI plants, trading offices, and regional HQs needing bilingual payslips and tight month-end close.

Da Nang & beyond

Satellite teams on one Vietnam payroll calendar with local bank file support.
