On 24 December 2025, Government Decree No. 337/2025/NĐ-CP on Electronic Labor Contract (Decree 337) was promulgated and took effective from 01 January 2026. For the first time, the use of electronic contract for employment practice has been clearly regulated by this Decree 337, on non-mandatory basis (Article 4.3 - the use of electronic labour contract is only encouraged).
However, while Decree 337 does not expressly require the use of eContract as mandatory, there are new legal concepts introduced by Decree 337 that should be carefully considered from a practical point of view to justify the effect of Decree 337 onto the employment practice.
In this newsletter, we discuss noteworthy issues for the business’s further consideration.
