Changes to Applicable Administrative Areas by Region<\/strong><\/p>\nUnlike Decree No. 74\/2024\/N\u0110-CP, which classified regions at the district level, Decree No. 293\/2025\/N\u0110-CP issues a list of commune-level administrative areas <\/strong>for applying the new regional minimum wages.<\/p>\nImportant Note \u2013 Article 5.5<\/strong><\/p>\nIf the adjustment of administrative areas results in a new minimum wage lower than the wage<\/strong> applied as of December 31, 2025<\/strong>, then:<\/p>\nEmployers must continue applying the minimum wage in effect on December 31, 2025<\/strong>
This applies to all employees hired on or before December 31, 2025<\/strong>

Expanded Scope of Application<\/strong><\/p>\nAccording to Point c, Article 3.3 of Decree No. 293\/2025\/N\u0110-CP, the scope for applying the highest regional minimum wage has been expanded to include special zones, such as high-tech parks and concentrated digital technology zones.<\/p>\n Specifically, when employers operate in industrial zones, export processing zones, high-tech parks, or concentrated digital technology zones that span areas with different minimum wage levels, the highest applicable minimum wage within that area must be applied. <\/strong><\/p>\nWhat Businesses need to do:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Re-check commune-level administrative areas to determine the correct regional classification under the new Decree<\/li>\n
- Update minimum wage levels effective January 1, 2026<\/li>\n
- Review labor contracts, salary scales, payroll structures, and 2026 labor costs, and coordinate with grassroots trade unions and employees to amend or supplement them if necessary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
