Under Article 22.2 of the Labour Code 2012, where a definite term labour contract or seasonal labour contract (Old Contracts) expires, and the employee continues to work, then within 30 days from the expiry date of such Old Contracts (Expiry Date) the parties must enter into a new one; if the new labour contracts is not established, then the Old Contracts will become an indefinite term contract or a definite term contract with term of 24 months collectively (New Contracts). This provision has been interpreted in different manners as follows:

The Shareholder Meeting of a joint stock company (JSC) must convene a meeting at least once a year during the first four months or, if permitted by the Business Registration Authority and the Board, six months after the end of a financial year. Such meeting is called the annual meeting (cuộc họp thường niên) and other meetings of the Shareholder Meeting are called irregular meetings (cuộc họp bất thường). The Enterprise Law 2014 is not clear if there are two or more meetings of the Shareholder Meeting of a JSC in the first four months after the end of a financial year, then whether the first meeting among these meetings is regarded as the annual meeting or the JSC may have flexibility in deciding which meeting is the annual meeting.
