On November 10, the National Assembly passed a Resolution on the 2024 state budget estimate.
The Resolution states clearly that from July 1, 2024, to implement a comprehensive wage policy reform according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018 of the Seventh Conference of the 12th Central Executive Committee.
According to Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018, the goals set for officials and public employees when implementing the 2024 wage reform are as follows:
Specific Goals
...
(2) From 2021 to 2025 and vision to 2030
a) For the public sector
- From 2021, apply a new unified wage policy to officials and public employees, and the armed forces in the entire political system.
- In 2021, the lowest salary of officials and public employees is equal to the average lowest salary of regions in the enterprise sector.
- Periodically increase salaries in line with the consumer price index, economic growth rate, and state budget capacity.
- By 2025, the lowest salary of officials and public employees should be higher than the average lowest salary of regions in the enterprise sector.
- By 2030, the lowest salary of officials and public employees should be equal to or higher than the lowest salary of the highest region in the enterprise sector.
Thus, if there are no changes, the minimum salary of officials from July 01, 2024, will be equal to the average minimum salary of regions in the enterprise sector.
On December 20, 2023, the National Wage Council met to discuss and negotiate the regional minimum wage adjustment plan for 2024.
At the meeting, all members of the National Wage Council present voted to finalize the 6% regional minimum wage increase for 2024, effective from July 1, 2024.
When the regional minimum wage increases by 6%, the enterprise sector’s salary is divided into four regions, projected as follows:
| Region | Monthly Minimum Salary
(Unit: VND/month) | Hourly Minimum Salary
(Unit: VND/hour) || --- | --- | --- || Region I | 4,960,000 (increased by 280,000 VND) | 23,800 || Region II | 4,410,000 (increased by 250,000 VND) | 21,000 || Region III | 3,860,000 (increased by 220,000 VND) | 18,600 || Region IV | 3,450,000 (increased by 200,000 VND) | 16,600 |
Thus, the average minimum salary of the enterprise sector after a 6% increase in regional minimum wage will be around 4.1 million VND.
Therefore, the minimum salary of officials from July 01, 2024, could be approximately 4.1 million VND.
