(2) Court Clerk salary after the implementation of wage reform in 2024

The President of the National Assembly has signed and promulgated Resolution 104/2023/QH15 on the State Budget Estimate for 2024, which stipulates the implementation of a comprehensive reform of the wage policy in accordance with Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018.

According to Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, from July 1, 2024, the statutory pay rate and the current salary coefficient will be abolished, and a basic salary will be established and applied according to a specific monetary amount based on the job position in 5 new salary tables, including 2 new salary tables for officials and public employees:

- 1 salary table for positions applicable to officials and public employees holding leadership positions;- 1 salary table for professional and job titles by official rank and public employee title, applicable to officials and public employees not holding leadership positions.

The new salary table based on job positions, titles, and leadership positions will replace the current salary system; the transition from the old salary to the new salary will ensure that it is not lower than the current salary.

Thus, from July 1, 2024, when the wage reform is implemented, the current salary table for Court Clerks will no longer be applied, and the salary coefficient and statutory pay rate will be abolished. Court Clerks will be classified into the professional and job title salary table applicable to non-leadership officials.

Additionally, the salary structure of the Court Clerk will be designed according to the new structure specified in Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018: Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total salary fund) and allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total salary fund). A bonus fund (accounting for about 10% of the total annual salary fund, excluding allowances) will also be supplemented.

The exact new salary from July 1, 2024, will be determined once the state issues the new salary table and the new salary calculation formula:

Court Clerk salary = Basic salary + Allowance (if any) + Bonus (if any)
