The regulations on employment, salaries, and social insurance policies may not be unfamiliar to employees, as these are issues we are always concerned about. Below, Lawnet would like to highlight some basic legal provisions that employees in Vietnam need to know about this field.
According to legal regulations, employees working on holidays in Vietnam are entitled to a salary of at least 300%, excluding the paid holiday salary for employees who receive daily wages. If a holiday coincides with a weekly day off, employees are entitled to compensatory leave on the following day.
Salary and allowances, benefits of workers, public employees in Vietnam are stipulated in Decree 19/2017/ND-CP prescribing salary policies for national defense workers and seniority allowance policies for national defense public employees.
The components of salary and allowances subject to social insurance contributions depend on whether the employee's salary is determined by State policies or by the unit's policies in Vietnam. To accurately identify which components of salary and allowances are subject to social insurance contributions and which are not, please refer to the table below.
Since 2018, regulations on salaries and allowances for officials and public employees in Vietnam have undergone many changes. To help you easily grasp these changes, Lawnet would like to share all legal documents on salaries and allowances for Vietnamese officials and public employees and the people's armed forces that are in effect as of the present time. You can follow the list of documents through the summary table below.
To date, the salary of Judges, Procurators, and Court Clerks in Vietnam is still determined according to the provisions of Resolution 730/2004/NQ-UBTVQH11 on the approval of the position salary table, the position allowance table for State leadership officials; the professional salary table, and professional allowance table for the Court sector and the Procuracy sector.
Resolution on the state budget estimate for 2020 is expected to be passed at the 8th session of the 14th National Assembly of Vietnam. According to the proposal in this Resolution, the statutory pay rate for 2020 applicable to officials and public employees in Vietnam will be increased to 1.6 million VND starting from July 1, 2020.
Currently, statutory pay rate for teachers in Vietnam is still VND 1,490,000/month. However, in addition to the statutory pay rate, teachers in Vietnam also receive salary based on their grade and attached allowances. To determine whether their salary complies with regulations, teachers can refer to detailed regulations on salary, allowances, and subsidies for teachers in the table below:
According to Resolution 27-NQ/TW, starting from 2021, a salary reform policy for officials and public employees will be implemented. Teachers' salaries will increase significantly according to the plan. However, due to the impact of Covid-19, this policy has been postponed.
Recently, Lawnet has received many questions from customers and members related to new regulations on salaries of employees from January 1, 2021 specified in Labor Code 2019 . Lawnet would like to specifically answer each issue in the article below:
