Vietnam: When will the Resolution 27 on salary reform, salary payment according to job positions come into force?
Resolution 27 on salary reform, salary payment according to job positions, comes into force from May 21, 2018. Pursuant to Sub-section 1, Section 1 of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 on the situation of salary reform:
1. Salary policy is a particularly important part of the economic and social policy system, directly related to the major balances of the economy, the labor market, and the lives of salary recipients. It contributes to building a lean, clean, effective, and efficient political system, as well as preventing corruption and waste.
Vietnam has undergone four salary policy reforms in 1960, 1985, 1993, and 2003. The conclusions of the 8th Central Party Committee Conference in the 9th term on the project of reforming salary policy, social insurance, and preferential allowances for people with meritorious services from 2003 to 2007 have been gradually supplemented and improved according to the directions of the Party Congresses in the 10th, 11th, and 12th terms. The conclusions of the 5th Central Party Committee Conference, especially Conclusion 23-KL/TW dated May 29, 2012, and Conclusion 63-KL/TW dated May 27, 2013 of the 7th Central Party Committee Conference in the 11th term also contributed to the improvement of salaries in the public sector, officials, public employees, and armed forces, especially in difficult areas and sectors, thus improving the lives of workers. In the business sector, salary policies have been gradually improved based on market mechanisms under state management.
...

Focus resources to implement salary reform from July 1, 2022.
[2] Continuation of postponement of salary reform to an appropriate time
After the first postponement of salary reform according to Resolution 23/2021/QH15, at the second session on November 13, 2021, the National Assembly passed Resolution 34/2021/QH15, postponing the implementation of salary reform to an appropriate time instead of July 1, 2022.
[3] Postponement of salary reform, increasing statutory pay rate in 2023
At the 16th meeting of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, it was decided to discuss and decide not to implement salary reform according to Resolution 27 but to prepare the best conditions to carry out this reform.
