Legal Framework for Electronic Labor Contracts in Enterprises

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technologies has driven the digitalization of human- resource management, leading to the increasing use of electronic labor contracts in enterprises. Vietnamese law recognizes the legal validity of electronically concluded labor contracts; however, several legal challenges remain regarding electronic signatures, evidentiary value, data integrity, personal data protection, and the parties’ responsibilities in dispute resolution. This article analyzes the current legal framework governing e-labor contracts, examines practical issues in enterprise implementation, and proposes recommendations to enhance legal certainty and compliance in the digital labor environment.
