In industrial relations, employers are given the rights to manage and run the business. An important part of these rights is the right to lay off workers, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic when employers have to face with so many difficulties to cut down on employment cost. Thus, labor retrenchment is the vital solution. However, the employer's right to reduce labor is contrary to the principle of workers' protection for which is very important in Vietnam's labor law. The article provides and analyzes the legal solutions of Vietnamese law in allowing employers to exercise their right of labor retrenchment in the context of Covid 19 pandemic. These legal solutions are presented on the basis of comparison with some provisions in Taiwan law and French law.

在勞資關係中，雇主有權管理和經營企業。在這些權利中，解僱工人是其中重要的一環。尤其是在面對當今Covid-19流行的時空背景下，雇主不得不透過裁員來降低用工成本。然而，雇主的裁員權卻違背了越南勞動法中所重視的工人保護的原則。在本篇文章中，透過與台灣、法國法律的比較，提供並分析在越南法律中，允許雇主在Covid-19疫情的背景下，合法行使裁員權的解決方案。
