According to the spirit of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, from July 1, 2024, upon salary reform, it will formulate 05 new payrolls applicable to officials, public employees, and the armed forces based on job positions, leading titles, and positions to replace the current payroll system; change and grade the old salary to the new salary but ensure that it is not lower than the current salary.
05 new payrolls applicable to officials, public employees and the armed forces include:
- Formulate 01 position payroll applicable to officials and public employees holding leading positions (elections and appointments) in the political system from the central to the commune level according to the following principles:
+ The salary of positions must reflect the hierarchy in the political system; a person holding a leading position shall be paid according to that position, if a person holds more than one position, he/she shall enjoy the salary applicable to the highest position salary; a person holding the same leading position shall enjoy the same position salary; the position salary of the superior leader must be higher than the position salary of the subordinate leader;
+ Prescribe a salary for each equivalent type of office; fail to classify ministries, branches, departments, committees, and their equivalents at the Central level when formulating the payroll of posts at the Central; do not distinguish between different salaries and positions for the same leading title according to the classification of local administrative units, but implemented by allowances.
+ The classification of equivalent leading positions in the political system to design the position payroll shall be decided by the Politburo after reporting to the Central Committee of CPV.
- Formulate 01 professional payroll according to the rank of civil servants and professional titles of public employees generally applicable to officials and public employees who do not hold leading titles, each rank of civil servants and professional title of public employees with multi-salary grades, according to the principles:
+ At the same level of work complexity, the salary is the same;
+ In case of higher than normal working conditions and vocational incentives, job-based allowances shall be applied;
+ Rearrange the group of ranks and the number of grades in the ranks of civil servants and professional titles of public employees, and encourage officials and public employees to improve their professional qualifications.
The appointment to the rank of civil servant or professional title of public employee must be associated with the job position and structure of ranks of civil servants, and professional titles of public employees and implemented by agencies, organizations, and units managing officials and public employees.
- Formulate 3 payrolls applicable to the armed forces, including:
+ 1 payroll applicable to army officers, officers, and non-commissioned officers in police service (by position, title, and military rank or grade);
+ 1 payroll applicable to professional servicemen and technical police officers
+ 1 payroll applicable to defense workers, and police workers (which keeps the salary correlation of the armed forces compared to administrative officials as at present).
What are the factors as the basis for formulating 05 job positions-based payrolls applied from July 1, 2024 in Vietnam?
Under Resolution 27-NQ/TW 2018, 05 job positions-based payrolls shall be formulated by the following factors:
- Abolish the current statutory pay rate and salary coefficient and specify the base pay in the new payroll.
- Uniformly implement the labor contract regime as prescribed by the Labor Code (or service contracts) for administrative support officials (requiring below intermediate training levels), not applying the payroll of officials and public employees to these entities.
- Determine the lowest salary of officials and public employees in the public sector as the salary of the person doing the job requiring intermediate training level (level 1) not lower than the lowest salary of trained employees in the enterprise sector.
- Expand the salary relationship as a basis for determining specific salaries in the payroll system, gradually approaching the wage relationship of the enterprise sector by the State's resources.
- Complete policies on the regular salary upgrade and salary upgrade ahead of time for officials, public employees, and the armed forces by the provisions of the new payroll.
