As Lawnet has informed our Customers and Members, recently, the Government of Vietnam has proposed to increase the statutory pay rate in 2020 to 1.6 million VND/month, and the majority of opinions in the Finance and Budget Committee agreed with this proposal.

SALARY TABLE FOR ALL OFFICIALS, AND PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FROM JULY 01, 2020 (EXPECTED)

If this proposal is approved by the National Assembly, the statutory pay rate in 2020 will reach the highest level ever. Additionally, the statutory pay rate in 2020 in Vietnam will increase by 110,000 VND/month compared to 2019, marking the highest increase in statutory pay rate in recent years. With this increase, the salaries of officials and public employees will also be adjusted accordingly. So, which officials and public employees will receive the most significant salary increase when the statutory pay rate is adjusted to 1.6 million VND/month?

According to Lawyer Bui Tuong Vu, Chairman of the Board of Members of the Legal Secretary: "The increase in the statutory pay rate for officials and public employees to 1.6 million VND per month from July 01, 2020, is essential. Salaries must truly be the primary source of income to ensure the livelihood of officials and public employees and their families; periodic salary increases will create motivation to improve labor productivity and work efficiency of officials and public employees."

He also added: "According to Resolution 27/NQ-TW, from 2021, the salaries of officials and public employees will be stipulated in specific amounts in the new salary table instead of being calculated according to the coefficient and statutory pay rate as currently. Hopefully, with this wage policy reform, their livelihood will be somewhat ensured."
