Payroll Services Built on 25+ Years of Vietnam Employment Compliance
Vietnam's payroll environment requires precise management across multiple statutory obligations. Social Insurance (BHXH), Health Insurance (BHYT), Unemployment Insurance (BHTN), Personal Income Tax withholding, and the specific entitlements under Vietnam's Labour Code all apply across different workforce categories and require accurate, ongoing specialist management. PERSOL Vietnam has been managing employment compliance and payroll for organisations operating across Vietnam for over 25 years. Our payroll team, covering both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, handles this complexity so your HR and finance teams can focus on higher-value priorities.
Payroll in Vietnam involves statutory obligations that sit alongside salary processing. Social Insurance (BHXH) covers pension, sickness, maternity, work-related accident, and occupational disease insurance. Health Insurance (BHYT) covers health insurance. Unemployment Insurance (BHTN) covers unemployment insurance. Contribution rates apply to both employer and employee, and the specific rules vary across different employment types and workforce categories. Personal Income Tax withholding and annual reconciliation add further compliance obligations. For organisations with workforces across Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, or managing a mix of local and expatriate employees, these obligations increase in complexity. Our payroll practice manages all of it as a core operational strength.
