The current limit of 200 hours is lower than both Thailand and Singapore, and had led to complaints from businesses.
According to Mai Duc Thien, deputy director of the Legal Department under the Minsitry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, for years businesses had been asking the Government and National Assembly to increase overtime working hours.
Under the revised law, overtime work must be agreed between employees and employers but it would not exceed four hours per day or 400 hours a year, Thien told online newspaper vov.vn.
