New salary scale applies to cadres, civil servants and public employees in the health sector

The National Assembly has just passed a Resolution on the 2024 state budget estimate, which includes the implementation of comprehensive reform of wage policy according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 on reforming wage policy for cadres, civil servants, public employees, armed forces and employees in enterprises issued by the Central Executive Committee.

Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 agreed to develop 02 new salary tables applicable to cadres, civil servants, and public employees nationwide in general and the health sector in particular. Accordingly, cadres, civil servants, and public employees in the health sector will apply the following 02 salary tables:

The salary table for positions applies to cadres, civil servants, and public employees holding leadership positions (elected and appointed) in the political system from the central to communal level according to the following principles:

- The salary level of a position must reflect the rank in the political system; the salary of a leader holding a position must be based on that position; if a person holds many positions, he/she must receive the highest salary level; if a person holds equivalent leadership positions, he/she must receive the same salary level; the salary level of a superior leader must be higher than the salary level of a subordinate leader;

- Prescribe a salary level for each equivalent position; do not classify ministries, branches, departments, committees and equivalents at the Central level when building the salary table for positions at the Central level; do not distinguish different salary levels for the same leadership position according to the classification of administrative units at the local level but implement it through the allowance regime.

- The classification of equivalent leadership positions in the political system to design the salary table for positions is decided by the Politburo after reporting to the Central Executive Committee.

The salary scale for professional and technical skills according to civil servant ranks and professional titles of public employees applies generally to civil servants and public employees who do not hold leadership positions; each civil servant rank and professional title of public employees has many salary levels according to the following principles:

- Same level of job complexity, same salary;

- Working conditions are higher than normal and job incentives are implemented through job-based allowances;

- Rearrange the groups and ranks of civil servant ranks and professional titles of public employees, encourage civil servants and public employees to improve their professional qualifications and skills.

- Appointment to a civil servant rank or professional title of a public employee must be linked to the job position and structure of the civil servant rank or professional title of a public employee carried out by the agency, organization or unit managing civil servants and public employees.

In addition, at the National Assembly session, the Minister of Home Affairs said that so far 13/15 ministries have completed the List of job positions in specialized fields, on that basis approving the project to be able to implement salary reform in the coming time.

How will the salary structure of health sector officials, civil servants and public employees change after the 2024 salary reform?

According to the guidance of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, the salary structure of cadres, civil servants and public employees in the health sector has the following major changes:

+ Abolish the current basic salary and salary coefficient, build the basic salary with a specific amount in the new salary table.

+ Design a new salary structure including: Basic salary (accounting for about 70% of the total salary fund) and allowances (accounting for about 30% of the total salary fund). Add bonuses (bonus fund is equal to about 10% of the total salary fund of the year, excluding allowances).

Thus, the main salary structure consists of two main items: basic salary accounting for 70% of the total salary fund and allowances accounting for 30% of the total salary fund, in addition, bonuses are additional. Therefore, cadres, civil servants and public employees in the health sector can actually receive:

Actual salary for health sector officials, civil servants and public employees = Basic salary + Allowance (if any) + Bonus (if any)

How will the allowances of cadres, civil servants and public employees nationwide change in the 2024 salary reform?

Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018 agreed to rearrange the current allowance regimes, ensuring that the total allowance fund accounts for a maximum of 30% of the total salary fund as follows:

- Continue to apply allowances:

+ Concurrent allowance;

+ Seniority allowance beyond the framework;

+ Regional allowance;

+ Job responsibility allowance;

+ Mobility allowance;

- Combining preferential allowances by profession, responsibility allowances by profession and toxic and dangerous allowances (collectively called allowances by profession) applied to civil servants and public employees of professions and jobs with higher than normal working conditions and with appropriate preferential policies of the State (education and training, health, court, prosecution, civil enforcement, inspection, examination, auditing, customs, forestry, market management,...).

- Merge special allowances, attraction allowances and long-term work allowances in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions into work allowances in particularly difficult areas.

- Abolish the following allowances:

+ Seniority allowance;

+ Leadership position allowance (based on salary classification for leadership positions in the political system);

+ Allowance for party work, political and social organizations;

+ Public service allowance (included in basic salary);

+ Hazardous and toxic allowances (due to including hazardous and toxic working conditions in occupational allowances).
