What will the 5 new salary scales based on job positions from July 1, 2024, be like under the wage reform?
According to the spirit of Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018, the wage reform will develop 5 new salary scales based on job positions, applicable to officials and public employees as well as armed forces.
The 5 official salary scales applicable to officials, public employees, and armed forces are as follows:
| Salary Scale 01: Salary scale for positions applicable to officials and public employees holding leadership positions (elected and appointed) in the political system from the central to communal level.
Salary Scale 02: Professional and occupational salary scale according to the ranks of officials and professional titles of public employees, applicable to officials and public employees who do not hold leadership positions.

Salary Scale 04: Salary scale for professional soldiers, technical police.
Salary Scale 05: Salary scale for national defense workers, police workers (maintaining the current pay relationship of the armed forces compared to administrative officials). || --- |
However, as of now, specific draft documents or official regulations on the specific salary levels in the 5 salary scales applicable to officials, public employees, and armed forces have not been issued.
On what factors will the 5 new salary scales for officials, public employees, and armed forces from July 1, 2024, under the wage reform be based?
According to Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018, there are 5 main factors for developing new salary scales for officials, public employees, and armed forces as follows:
- Abolish the current statutory pay rate and salary coefficient, building a basic salary amount in the new salary scales.
- Standardize labor contract policies according to the Labor Code (or service provision contract) for those performing administrative and service tasks (requiring training levels below intermediate), without applying the salary scales of officials and public employees to these subjects.
- Determine the lowest salary of officials and public employees in the public sector as the salary for jobs requiring intermediate training level (grade 1), which should not be lower than the minimum salary of trained workers in the enterprise sector.
- Expand the wage relationship to be used as a basis for determining specific salaries in the salary system, gradually approaching the wage relationship of the enterprise sector according to state resources.
- Perfect the policies for regular salary increases and early salary increases for officials, public employees, and armed forces according to the new salary scales.
Additionally, Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018 proposes a new wage structure design for the above 9 groups, including: Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total wage budget) and allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total wage budget). Bonuses will be added (the bonus fund equivalent to about 10% of the total annual wage budget, excluding allowances).
Thus, based on the aforementioned contents, from July 1, 2024, the salary scales for officials and public employees as well as armed forces are expected to be calculated as follows:
| Implemented Salary = Basic salary + allowances (if any). || --- |
Additionally, wage reform will introduce bonuses. Therefore, if officials, public employees, and armed forces receive bonuses, this will be a new component added to their income.
In which:
- Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total wage budget), and
- Allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total wage budget).
- Bonuses will be added (the bonus fund equivalent to about 10% of the total annual wage budget, excluding allowances).
