\nHello Mr. Sanders and HR representatives. I’m An from the Production Department.
\nH\u00f4m nay, ph\u00f2ng s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t xin ph\u00e9p \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c t\u1ed5 ch\u1ee9c bu\u1ed5i l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c c\u00f9ng c\u00e1c anh ch\u1ecb \u0111\u1ec3 th\u1ea3o lu\u1eadn v\u1ec1 v\u1ea5n \u0111\u1ec1 t\u0103ng ca s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t, \u0111\u1eb7c bi\u1ec7t l\u00e0 ca t\u1ed1i.<\/span>
\nToday, the Production Department would like to hold a meeting with you to discuss production overtime, specifically the night shift issue.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
President Sanders<\/td>\nV\u00e2ng, xin m\u1eddi anh An ti\u1ebfp t\u1ee5c tr\u00ecnh b\u00e0y.<\/span>

\nI would like to continue with the presentation.

\nIn fact, the number of orders is increasing, especially during this year-end period.
\nV\u1edbi s\u1ed1 l\u01b0\u1ee3ng c\u00f4ng nh\u00e2n v\u00e0 th\u1eddi gian l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c hi\u1ec7n t\u1ea1i, ch\u00fang t\u00f4i e r\u1eb1ng kh\u00f4ng th\u1ec3 \u0111\u00e1p \u1ee9ng \u0111\u1ee7 nhu c\u1ea7u, c\u0169ng nh\u01b0 b\u00e0n giao s\u1ea3n ph\u1ea9m \u0111\u00fang th\u1eddi gian quy \u0111\u1ecbnh.<\/span>
\nWith the current number of workers and working hours, we are afraid we cannot meet the demand or deliver products on time.
\nSau khi c\u00e2n nh\u1eafc v\u00e0 nghi\u00ean c\u1ee9u nhi\u1ec1u ph\u01b0\u01a1ng \u00e1n, ban s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t \u0111\u1ec1 xu\u1ea5t vi\u1ec7c tri\u1ec3n khai t\u0103ng ca s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t, \u0111\u1ed3ng th\u1eddi t\u1ed5 ch\u1ee9c th\u00eam m\u1ed9t ca l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c v\u00e0o bu\u1ed5i t\u1ed1i \u1ea1.<\/span>
\nAfter considering and researching various options, the Production Department proposes implementing production overtime and organizing an additional night shift.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nRegarding production overtime, given that we are a garment company with a mostly female workforce, will they agree to work overtime?

\nSince overtime will affect family life, I think some of them might not agree.

\nAs for implementing the night shift, according to labor laws regarding night work hours and to ensure workers’ health, HR recommends that the Production Department should have a specific and reasonable shift allocation plan.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nRegarding production overtime, we have conducted a preliminary survey of the female employees in the department.

\nMost of them want to work 1-2 hours of overtime per day to earn extra income and cover expenses for the upcoming holidays.

\nRegarding the implementation of the night shift, we will study a specific shift plan and look forward to receiving further feedback from HR.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
President Sanders<\/td>\n\u0110\u1ed1i v\u1edbi c\u1ea3 hai v\u1ea5n \u0111\u1ec1 n\u00e0y, nh\u01b0 anh An \u0111\u00e3 tr\u00ecnh b\u00e0y, n\u1ebfu c\u00e1c anh ch\u1ecb em trong ban s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t \u0111\u00e3 \u0111\u1ed3ng t\u00ecnh v\u1edbi vi\u1ec7c t\u0103ng ca th\u00ec ch\u00fang ta s\u1ebd \u01b0u ti\u00ean tri\u1ec3n khai v\u1ea5n \u0111\u1ec1 n\u00e0y tr\u01b0\u1edbc.<\/span>
\nRegarding both issues, as An presented, if the production staff has agreed to overtime, we will prioritize implementing this first.
\nTuy nhi\u00ean, t\u00f4i \u0111\u1ec1 ngh\u1ecb ban s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t c\u0169ng n\u00ean c\u00f3 k\u1ebf ho\u1ea1ch t\u0103ng ca c\u1ee5 th\u1ec3 \u0111\u1ec3 \u0111\u1ea3m b\u1ea3o c\u00e2n \u0111\u1ed1i th\u1eddi gian l\u00e0m vi\u1ec7c c\u1ee7a m\u1ecdi ng\u01b0\u1eddi, c\u0169ng nh\u01b0 gi\u00fap b\u1ed9 ph\u1eadn t\u00e0i ch\u00ednh d\u1ec5 d\u00e0ng ki\u1ec3m so\u00e1t \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c chi ph\u00ed nh\u00e2n c\u00f4ng.<\/span>
\nHowever, I suggest that the Production Department should also have a specific overtime plan to ensure a balance in everyone’s working hours, as well as to help the Finance Department easily control labor costs.
\nV\u1ec1 v\u1ea5n \u0111\u1ec1 c\u00f2n l\u1ea1i, ch\u00fang ta s\u1ebd t\u1ed5 ch\u1ee9c th\u1ea3o lu\u1eadn sau khi ban s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t c\u00f3 ph\u01b0\u01a1ng \u00e1n c\u1ee5 th\u1ec3.<\/span>
\nRegarding the remaining issue, we will hold a discussion after the Production Department has a concrete plan.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Production Dept.
\nAn<\/span><\/td>\n		V\u00e2ng, t\u00f4i hi\u1ec3u r\u1ed3i \u1ea1.<\/span>

\nSo, the Production Department will work directly with relevant departments to quickly implement the production overtime plan.

\nAt the same time, we will quickly finalize the shift plan so we can discuss it in detail in the next meeting.
