Information on continuing to implement salary reform is attracting much attention from officials, civil servants, public employees and workers nationwide.

In fact, according to the 2024 performance report of the Ministry of Home Affairs , advising on the implementation of 4/6 tasks on salary policy reform according to Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW of 2018 of the Central Committee is one of the outstanding results of this ministry in 2024, namely:

One is to supplement the bonus regime by about 10% of the total salary fund of the year (excluding allowances).

Second, perfect the salary increase regime in accordance with the regulations of the new salary table.

Third, the source of funding to implement the salary regime.

Fourth, salary and income management. Clearly define the authority and responsibility of the head in implementation; apply additional salary; and allocate salary fund.

In addition to the above 4 tasks, according to Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW, there are still 2 tasks on salary reform that have not been implemented, including: New salary tables (removing basic salary and salary coefficient); restructuring and arranging into 9 new allowance regimes.

Giving comments on the draft Law on Cadres and Civil Servants (amended), many National Assembly deputies were interested in discussing salary policies, mechanisms, and policies to attract and employ talented people.

According to Delegate Trinh Minh Binh ( Vinh Long Delegation), in reality, with a salary coefficient of 2.34 equivalent to nearly 6 million VND/month for newly hired civil servants, not including insurance payments, it will not be enough to cover the minimum living expenses. Not to mention that if you have a wife/husband, children and live in big cities, your standard of living will be much more difficult. Thus, it will be impossible to attract talented people to work and contribute.

Delegates proposed that the National Assembly should soon closely monitor the salary reform according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW, ensuring synchronous implementation from central to local levels. Gradually build a salary regime linked to job position, work efficiency and individual capacity.

"It is necessary to reform salaries and salary regimes to suit the current context in parallel with innovating the recruitment mechanism, promoting and developing talents in the public sector" - delegates recommended.

At the conference to deploy the tasks of the Ministry of Home Affairs in May 2025, Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra requested the heads of units under the Ministry and all civil servants, public employees and workers to be proactive, make efforts and effectively implement the tasks assigned by competent authorities to ensure progress and quality.

One of the many notable tasks clearly stated by the Minister of Home Affairs is: Proactively reviewing policies related to allowances and salaries.

From there, promptly research, propose, and advise competent authorities on plans to amend, supplement, and replace relevant Decrees and implementing guidance documents (1 Decree, 1 Circular) to ensure consistency and suitability when implementing the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and building a 2-level local government organization model;

Advise the Party Committee of the Ministry to report on the implementation of Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW on reforming salary policy for cadres, civil servants, public employees, armed forces and employees in enterprises (to be completed before June 30, 2025).
