The Resolution clearly states that from July 1, 2024, a comprehensive reform of salary policies will be implemented according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW 2018 of the Seventh Conference of the Central Executive Committee, Session XII.
Thus, from July 1, 2024, professional servicemen will no longer have their salaries graded by salary coefficients. The new salary structure for professional servicemen upon salary reform will be as follows:
- Basic salary
- Allowances
- Additional bonuses
professional servicemen will be provided with a separate salary scale based on job positions, titles, and leadership roles to replace the current salary tables, ensuring that the new salary will not be lower than the current salary.
