Additionally, three new salary tables will be established and issued for the military and police according to job positions, titles, and leadership positions to replace the current salary system; transferring the old salary to the new one, ensuring that it is not lower than the current salary being received, including:
- One salary table for military officers, police officers, and non-commissioned officers on service duties (based on positions, titles, and military ranks or police ranks).
- One salary table for professional soldiers, technical staff in the police force.
- One salary table for national defense workers, police workers (maintaining salary correlation of the armed forces compared to administrative officials as currently).
Moreover, according to the spirit of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, besides current income from salaries and allowances, after the salary reform expected from July 1, 2024, the military and police may enjoy an additional income from the bonus (bonus fund equivalent to about 10% of the total annual wage fund, excluding allowances).
From 2025 onwards, salaries will continue to be adjusted to increase an average of 7% per year for officials and public employees, including the armed forces, until the lowest salary is equal to or higher than the minimum salary of region I for enterprises.
Thus, the salaries of professional soldiers under Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 from 2025 may be increased on average by 7% per year until the lowest salary is equal to or higher than the minimum salary of region I for enterprises.
