In case of signing a probationary contract for the IT position of the company. But if the person does not have a university degree but only a certificate of completion of subjects in Vietnam, how many months will the contract be signed? 

    • In Article 25 of the Labor Code 2019, there are provisions on probationary period as follows:

      Article 25. Probationary period

      The probationary period shall be negotiated by the parties on the basis of the nature and complexity of the job. Only one probationary period is allowed for a job and the probation shall not exceed:

      1. 180 days for the position of enterprise executive prescribed by the Law on Enterprises, the Law on management and use of state investment in enterprises;

      2. 60 days for positions that require a junior college degree or above;

      3. 30 days for positions that require a secondary vocational certificate, professional secondary school; positions of or for technicians, and skilled employees;

      4. 06 working days for other jobs.

      Thus, according to the above-mentioned regulations, if your IT position requires university qualifications. But this person only has a certificate of completion of the subjects or only a transcript without a university degree, still signs a probation contract with a probation period of no more than 60 days in Vietnam. Besides, subject to the agreement of the two parties to determine this probationary period.
