Fine in Vietnam for employers who do not allow menstrual breaks

Employers in Vietnam can be fined up to 20 million VND if they do not allow a daily 30-minute break for female employees during menstruation. This is a new rule reportedly set by the Vietnamese government.

The measure is intended to protect the health and well-being of female employees. Employers must comply with this to avoid a fine.

The exact reason behind this rule change is not known, but it appears that the Vietnamese government wants to improve working conditions for women. The fine is a way to encourage employers to allow these breaks.
