How will the new salary table for officials and public employees be constructed from July 1, 2024?
Based on the spirit of Resolution 27/NQ-TW of 2018, two new salary tables will be established for officials and public employees according to job position, title, and leadership role, replacing the current salary system; converting old salaries to new ones, ensuring they are not lower than current salaries, including:
- Establishing a leadership position salary table applicable to officials and public employees holding leadership roles (elected and appointed) within the political system from the central to the commune level.
- Establishing a professional skill-level salary table according to the grade of officials and occupational titles of public employees, generally applicable to officials and public employees not holding leadership positions.
According to the spirit of Resolution 27/NQ-TW of 2018, the salary structure for officials and public employees under the wage reform will include:
- Basic salary (about 70% of the total salary fund);
- Allowances (about 30% of the total salary fund);
- Adding bonuses (the bonus fund is approximately 10% of the total annual salary fund, excluding allowances).
