From July 1, 2024, will the new payroll for professional servicemen after salary reform will be calculated based on statutory pay rate in Vietnam?
From July 1, 2024, will the new payroll for professional servicemen be calculated based on the statutory pay rate?
Recently, the President of the National Assembly signed and promulgated Resolution 104/2023/QH15 on the 2024 State Budget Estimates.
In Resolution 104/2023/QH15, it is mentioned that comprehensive reform of the wage policy will be implemented according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018 from July 1, 2024.
Currently, there is no official information or document on the specific new payroll for professional servicemen when the salary reform is implemented from July 1, 2024.
However, according to the spirit of Resolution 27-NQ/TW 2018, when salary reform is implemented from July 1, 2024, a new payroll will be built for professional servicemen based on the following factors:
- Abolishing the statutory pay rate and current salary coefficients, building a basic salary in specific monetary terms in the new payroll.
- Expanding the pay relationship as a basis to determine specific salary levels in the salary system, gradually approaching the pay relationship in the enterprise sector suitable to the state's resources.
- Perfecting policies for regular salary increases and early salary increases for officials, public employees, and armed forces in accordance with the regulations of the new payroll.
When salary reform is implemented from July 1, 2024, a new payroll for professional servicemen will be built, no longer calculated based on the statutory pay rate and current salary coefficients. Instead, a basic salary will be built in specific monetary terms in the new payroll for professional servicemen.
Additionally, in Resolution 27-NQ/TW 2018, the salary structure for professional servicemen when salary reform is implemented will include:
- Basic salary (about 70% of the total salary budget);
- Allowances (about 30% of the total salary budget);
- Additional bonuses (the bonus fund is about 10% of the total annual salary budget, excluding allowances).
Thus, after the salary reform from July 1, 2024, the salary for professional servicemen will be built according to the following formula:
professional servicemen's salary = Basic salary + allowances (if any) + bonuses (if any).
