How many new salary scales were developed during the salary reform according to Resolution 27/NQ-TW in 2018?
New Salary Scale According to Resolution 27: What Are the Five Salary Scales Built for the Wage Reform?
Based on point b, section 3.1, Section 3 of Resolution 27-NQ-TW of 2018, the salary scales built for the wage reform include:
3.1. For officials and public employees and armed forces (public sector)
a) Design a new salary structure including: Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total salary fund) and allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total salary fund). Supplement with bonuses (the bonus fund is about 10% of the total annual salary fund, not including allowances).
b) Develop and issue a new salary scale system based on job positions, titles, and leadership positions to replace the current salary scale system; transition from the old salary to the new salary, ensuring it is not lower than the current salary, including:
- Develop a salary scale for leadership positions applied to officials and public employees holding elected and appointed leadership positions in the political system from the Central to the commune level according to the principle: (1) The leadership salary must reflect the hierarchy in the political system; holding any leadership position entitles one to that position's salary; if one holds multiple positions, they receive the highest leadership salary; equivalent leadership positions receive the same salary; the salary of a higher-level leader must be higher than that of a lower-level leader; (2) Specify one salary level for each type of equivalent leadership position; do not differentiate ministries and central authorities, boards, committees, and equivalent agencies at the central level when constructing the central level leadership salary scale; do not differentiate different levels of leadership salary for the same leadership title according to the local administrative units but implement through allowance policies. The classification of equivalent leadership positions in the political system for designing the leadership salary scale is decided by the Politburo after reporting to the Central Committee.
- Develop a professional salary scale according to the rank of officials and the titles of public employees, applied universally to officials and public employees not holding leadership titles; each rank and public employee title has multiple salary levels based on the principle: Equally complex jobs have the same salary; working conditions higher than normal and professional incentives are implemented through professional allowance policies; reorganize official ranks and the number of levels in official ranks and public employee titles, encouraging officials and public employees to improve their professional and technical qualifications. Appointment to an official rank or public employee title must be related to the job position and the structure of officials and public employees' ranks managed by offices, organizations, and units managing officials and public employees.
- Develop three salary scales for armed forces, including: 1 salary scale for military officers, officers, and non-commissioned officers in Public Security (according to position, title, and military rank or grade); 1 salary scale for professional soldiers, technical specialists in Public Security, and 1 salary scale for defense workers and public security workers (maintaining the wage correlation between the armed forces and administrative officials as currently).
The salary scales according to Resolution 27 will consist of:
- 1 salary scale for leadership positions applied to officials and public employees holding leadership positions in the political system from the Central to the commune level.
- 1 professional salary scale according to the rank of officials and public employees' titles applied universally to officials and public employees not holding leadership titles.
- 3 salary scales for armed forces, including:
+ 1 salary scale for military officers, officers, and non-commissioned officers in Public Security (according to position, title, and military rank or grade);
+ 1 salary scale for professional soldiers, technical specialists in Public Security, and
+ 1 salary scale for defense workers and public security workers (maintaining the wage correlation between the armed forces and administrative officials as currently).

How Are Salaries for Officials and Public Employees Calculated According to Resolution 27/NQ-TW of 2018?
In 2023, wage reform has not yet been implemented, so the salary for officials and public employees is still calculated based on the statutory pay rate and the salary coefficient, specifically:
Salary = Salary coefficient x Statutory pay rate
The current statutory pay rate is 1,800,000 VND/month.
Based on the regulations on the salary structure in section 3.1, Section II of Resolution 27/NQ-TW of 2018, the new salary calculation method will have several changes. Specifically:
Content of the reform
3.1. For officials and public employees and armed forces (public sector)
a) Design a new salary structure including: Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total salary fund) and allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total salary fund). Supplement with bonuses (the bonus fund is about 10% of the total annual salary fund, not including allowances).
Thus, the new salary calculation formula can be inferred as follows:
Total salary = Basic salary + Allowances (if any) + Bonuses (if any).
Wherein, the basic salary is calculated based on the salary level in the salary scale according to job positions, titles, and leadership positions.
