Abstract

Amid ongoing digital transformation, businesses are increasingly concluding employment contracts with employees through electronic means. Electronic employment contracts offer significant advantages to both employers and employees by facilitating the digitalization of human resource management and improving administrative efficiency. This development is consistent with Vietnam’s National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030, approved under Decision No. 749/QD-TTg. This article examines the legal framework governing electronic employment contracts, evaluates its achievements and remaining gaps, and identifies the principal challenges businesses face when concluding and implementing such contracts. Based on this analysis, it proposes solutions to improve the relevant legal framework and facilitate the effective use of electronic employment contracts in the context of digital transformation.
