How to Construct an Appropriate Employee Salary Scale?
Article 102 of the Labor Code 2012 stipulates that policies regarding allowances, subsidies, promotions, salary increases, and other incentive policies for employees are to be agreed upon in the labor contract, collective labor agreement, or regulations of the employer.
The development of salary scales, salary tables, and labor norms is implemented according to Article 93 of the Labor Code 2012 as follows:
- Based on the principles for constructing salary scales, salary tables, and labor norms as stipulated by the Government of Vietnam, employers are responsible for establishing salary scales, salary tables, and labor norms as a basis for recruiting, utilizing labor, negotiating wages recorded in labor contracts, and paying wages to employees.
- When constructing salary scales, salary tables, and labor norms, the employer must consult the representative organization of the labor collective at the grassroots level and publicly announce it at the workplace before implementation, while also sending it to the district-level labor state management agency where the employer's production and business facilities are located.
This is guided by Chapter 3 of Decree 49/2013/ND-CP.
Therefore, the construction of salary grades between positions will be based on the company's capabilities and the practical intentions of the business owner.
Sincerely,
