d) Rearrange current allowance regimes, ensuring that the total allowance fund accounts for a maximum of 30% of the total salary budget
- Continue to apply part-time allowance; excess seniority allowance; regional allowances; work responsibility allowance; mobility allowance; Allowances for security, national defense and special allowances for the armed forces (army, police, cipher).
- Combine job-based preferential allowances, job-specific responsibility allowances and toxic and dangerous allowances (collectively referred to as job-based allowances) applicable to officials and public employees of occupations and jobs with working conditions are higher than normal and there are appropriate preferential policies of the State (education and training, health care, courts, procuracy, civil judgment enforcement, inspection, examination, auditing, customs, forest rangers, market management,...).

- Supplement regulations on allowances according to administrative unit classification for commune, district and provincial levels.
- Consistently implement monthly allowance funds for part-time workers at the commune level, in villages and residential groups based on the regular expenditure rate of the Commune People's Committee; At the same time, regulate the maximum number of part-time workers for each type of commune, village, and residential group. On that basis, the People's Committee at the commune level submits to the People's Council at the same level to specifically stipulate the titles eligible for allowances in the direction that one title can undertake many jobs but must ensure the quality and efficiency of work.
Thus, when implementing the salary reform policy, there are only 03 subjects eligible for seniority allowances, including:
- Army forces
- Police forces
- Cipher.
Accordingly, the fact that the above three subjects still have seniority allowances is to ensure salary correlation with officials.
However, for extra seniority allowances, they will continue to be applied. Therefore, those who are entitled to extra seniority allowances after the salary reform may continue to enjoy this allowance.
