How much is the first allowance for people working in areas with extremely difficult socio-economic conditions in Vietnam? What is basis for calculating allowances in Vietnam for purchasing and transporting fresh and clean water for a person?
I was recruited to the position of statistical office in a commune of region 3 - a particularly difficult commune. After working for a few months, I received my first allowance payment equal to 8 months of base salary at the time of accepting the job. My uncle works in the same conditions as me but receives 10 months' salary, so how much is the first allowance for persons working in an area with extremely difficult socio-economic conditions? What is basis for calculating allowances for purchasing and transporting fresh and clean water for one person?
Please advise. Thankyou.
