How Are Salary Scales by Work Position Constructed During the 2024 Wage Reform?
The Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018 stipulates the construction and issuance of a new salary system according to work position, title, and leadership position to replace the current salary system; transitioning old salaries to new ones, ensuring they are not lower than the current wages, including:
Salary Scale 1: Constructing a salary scale for leadership positions applicable to officials and public employees holding elected or appointed leadership positions in the political system from the central to local commune levels based on principles:
+ Leadership salary must reflect the hierarchy in the political system; the salary corresponds to the held leadership position, if a person holds multiple positions, they receive the highest leadership salary; equivalent leadership positions receive the same salary; a higher leadership salary for higher administrative levels compared to lower levels.
+ Specifying a leadership salary for each equivalent position type; not classifying ministries and central authorities, committees, and equivalent bodies at the central level when constructing central leadership salary scales; no differentiation in leadership salaries for the same leadership title based on varying administrative unit types at the local level, implemented through allowance policies. The classification of equivalent leadership positions in the political system for designing leadership salary scales is decided by the Politburo after reporting to the Central Executive Committee.
Salary Scale 2: Constructing a professional and technical salary scale for officials and public employees without leadership titles; each official rank and public employee professional title has several salary grades based on principles:
+ Equal complexity of work equals the same salary; higher-than-normal working conditions and professional incentives are implemented through professional allowance policies; reorganizing official rank groups and the number of grades encourages officials and public employees to improve professional skills.
+ The appointment into official ranks or public employee professional titles must be linked with work positions and the structure of official ranks and public employee professional titles managed by agencies, organizations, and units managing officials and public employees.
* Constructing 3 salary scales for armed forces, including:
Salary Scale 3: A salary scale for military officers, police officers, and non-commissioned police officers (based on position, title, and rank or grade).
Salary Scale 4: A salary scale for professional military personnel, technical police personnel.
Salary Scale 5: A salary scale for defense and police workers (keeping salary correlations for armed forces compared to administrative officials as current).
