Regarding Article 1, Clause 3 of Resolution 104/2023/QH15, comprehensive salary reform will be implemented according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 from July 1, 2024.
In Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, the following objectives are set for officials, and public employees when implementing salary reform in 2024:
Specific objectives:
...
(2) From 2021 to 2025 and vision until 2030
a) For the public sector:
- Starting from 2021, apply a new unified salary regime for officials, public employees, and armed forces within the entire political system.
- In 2021, the minimum salary of officials and public employees will be equal to the region-based minimum wage of the business sector.
- Periodically adjust the salary level in line with the consumer price index, economic growth rate, and the capacity of the state budget.
- By 2025, the minimum salary of officials and public employees will be higher than the region-based minimum wage of the business sector.
- By 2030, the minimum salary of officials and public employees will be equal to or higher than the highest region-based minimum wage of the business sector.
Therefore, when implementing salary reform in 2024, the minimum salary of officials and public employees will be equal to the minimum salary in the average regions of the business sector.
On December 20, 2023, the National Salary Council held a meeting to discuss and negotiate the adjustment of the regional minimum wage for 2024.
During the meeting, all members of the National Salary Council present voted to finalize the increase in the region-based minimum wage for 2024 at 6%, effective from July 1, 2024.
Accordingly, when increasing the region-based minimum wage by 6%, the business sector's salary will be divided into four estimated regions as follows:
Region | Region-based minimum wage per month (Unit: VND/month) | Region-based minimum wage per hour (Unit: VND/hour) |
Region I | 4.960.000 (increased by VND 280.000) | 23.800 |
Region II | 4.410.000 (increased by VND 250.000) | 21.000 |
Region III | 3.860.000 (increased by VND 220.000) | 18.600 |
Region IV | 3.450.000 (increased by VND 200.000) | 16.600 |
The average minimum salary of the business sector after increasing by 6% will be around 4.1 million VND.
Therefore, the minimum salary for public employees according to the new payrolls will be around 4.1 million VND.
By 2025, the minimum salary for public employees will be higher than the average minimum salary in the business sector (estimated to be higher than 4.1 million VND).
By 2030, the minimum salary for public employees will be equal to or higher than the highest minimum salary in the business sector (estimated to be around 4,960,000 VND or higher).
However, the mentioned minimum salary for public employees from July 1, 2024 is for reference only. Currently, we still have to wait for the official document to be issued by the competent authority.
