Companies to allow staff to watch U23 team play
>> Vietnam’s coach Park confident to deal with Qatar
Many companies in Vietnam have decided to give their employees a half day off today, January 23, to watch the Vietnam U23 team play an Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U23 Championship semi-final match against Qatar.
Following a proposal from employees, Nguyen Thanh Trung, director of Khanh An Investment and Service Company, allowed them to be off from work this afternoon to watch the match.
Trung also said that if the Vietnamese team wins in the match, the whole company would not have to work on the next day to celebrate the victory. Those who do not want to see the match can work as usual.
“I myself and many at the company have a great passion for football, so we’re very excited for the match,” Trung added.
The company has even prepared a big screen for the staff to watch the event.
Another firm in Ha Dong District, Hanoi, has even more extreme plans. The management are so fanatical that they clearly stated that anyone who does not cheer the team would be fined a day's salary.
All of the employees have been asked to be present at the company’s headquarters early this afternoon and a big screen, sound system and light food have been prepared for the event.
“Whatever the result, we’ll hold a party after it ends to congratulate the achievement of the Vietnamese team in this tournament,” the decision says.
Employees of a company in Ba Dinh District, Hanoi, will be allowed to be off from work this afternoon and if the Vietnamese U23 wins, they will not have to work on the morning of the next day, while still being paid as usual.
Meanwhile, a business in Dong Da District, Hanoi, has announced to offer a bonus for its staff based on the number of goals scored by Vietnam, with each goal worth VND1 million (USD47.60).
Several schools have also announced to stop the afternoon courses so that teachers and students can watch the match together at school.
The semifinal between Vietnam and Qatar will take place at 15:00 (Hanoi time) on January 23 at Changzhou Olympic Sports Centre in China.
