Salary Structure for School Employees According to Resolution 27
The salary structure for school employees when implementing salary reforms is also established according to the provisions in Section II of Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018 on salary policy reform for officials and public employees and armed forces (public sector) according to the design of the new salary structure, which includes:
- Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total salary fund).
- Allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total salary fund).
- Additional bonuses (bonus fund accounting for about 10% of the total annual salary fund, excluding allowances).
A new salary system is built and issued according to job positions, titles, and leadership positions to replace the current salary system; transitioning from old salaries to new salaries ensuring it is not lower than current salaries, including:
- Constructing one professional and professional salary table according to the rank of officials and public employee titles applicable to officials and public employees who do not hold leadership positions; each rank of officials and public employee titles has multiple salary levels according to the principle:
For jobs with the same complexity level, the salary level is the same; higher than normal working conditions and occupational preferences will be implemented through occupational allowance policies; reorganizing group ranks and the number of levels within the ranks of officials and public employee titles, encouraging officials and public employees to enhance their professional and professional levels.
Appointments to the rank of officials or public employee titles must be associated with job positions and the rank structure of officials and public employee titles managed by agencies, organizations, and units to manage officials and public employees.
When Will There Be a Salary Table for School Employees According to Resolution 27 from July 1, 2024, when the salary reform is implemented?
When Will There Be a Salary Table for School Employees According to Resolution 27?
On November 7, 2023, the Minister of Home Affairs addressed the issue of salary for school employees when implementing the salary reforms as follows:
The salary regime for school employees is still low and does not ensure the regional minimum wage according to the regulations. Therefore, during the upcoming implementation of salary policy reforms, local authorities will be asked to comprehensively review the number of school employees.
The Minister also stated that school employees currently do not receive the 25% public service allowance, so if the salary policy reforms are implemented, this group will suffer certain disadvantages.
Therefore, relevant ministries and central authorities need to consider issuing professional guidance on promoting professional titles for school employees so that when implementing salary reforms, this group can be better positioned in the salary structure.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs will also report to the competent authority to consider this matter,” said the Minister of Home Affairs.
Thus, school employees may be promoted in professional titles to get better salaries when the salary reforms are implemented.
Currently, the salary reform is still in the process of receiving feedback and being constructed, so there is no specific salary table for school employees yet.
