How is the salary scale constructed according to the job position during the 2024 wage reform?
According to Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018, the system of new salary scales is built and issued according to job positions, titles, and leadership positions to replace the current salary system; transferring the old salary to the new, ensuring it is not lower than the current salary, including:
- Constructing one salary scale for leadership positions applied to officials and public employees holding leadership positions (elected and appointed) in the political system from central to communal levels based on principles:
+ The salary level must reflect the hierarchy in the political system; holding a leadership position enjoys the corresponding salary; if one person holds multiple positions, the highest leadership salary applies; equivalent leadership positions enjoy the same salary; the salary of senior leaders must be higher than that of junior leaders.
+ Each equivalent leadership position has one salary level; ministries and central authorities, committees, and equivalent bodies at the central level are not differentiated when constructing the central leadership salary scale; different leadership salaries for equivalent titles in administrative units by local classification are implemented through allowance policies. The classification of equivalent leadership positions in the political system for salary scale designing is decided by the Politburo after reporting to the Central Committee.
- Constructing one professional and specialized salary scale according to the rank of officials and the title of public employees applied commonly to those who do not hold leadership titles; each rank and title has multiple salary levels based on principles:
+ The same complexity level of work enjoys the same salary; higher-than-normal working conditions and professional incentives are implemented through professional allowance policies; reorganizing the rank groups and salary steps within ranks and titles, encouraging officials and public employees to improve their professional and specialized levels. Appointment to official ranks or titles must be associated with job positions and the structure of official ranks and titles managed by the managing agency, organization, or unit.
- Constructing three salary scales for the armed forces, including:
+ One salary scale for military officers and police officers (based on positions, titles, and military ranks).+ One salary scale for professional military personnel and police technical specialists.+ One salary scale for national defense workers and police workers (maintaining the current salary correlation of the armed forces compared to administrative officials).
