To be specific, at the 10th Session, the XIV National Assembly of Vietnam approved the Resolution on the state budget estimate for 2021. Accordingly, the statutory pay rate adjustment will not be implemented in 2021.
Similarly, regarding statutory pay rate, through the Resolution, in 2020, no statutory pay rate adjustments, pensions, social insurance allowances, monthly allowances (for beneficiaries covered by the state budget), and preferential allowances for people with meritorious services to the revolution will be made. Resources will be focused on preventing and combating COVID-19, overcoming natural disaster impacts, implementing issued social security policies, and ensuring national defense, security, and foreign affairs.
Therefore, it can be seen that due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the statutory pay rate in 2021 will not increase and will remain at 1,490,000 VND/month as currently stipulated. Based on the provisions of Article 5 Decree 92/2009/ND-CP, Clause 2, Article 2 Decree 34/2019/ND-CP and Article 10 Circular 13/2019/TT-BNV, the salary classification for commune-level officials in 2021 is specified as follows:
