Propose to soon build a new salary scale, paying according to job position

(Dan Tri) - National Assembly delegates suggested that it is necessary to stipulate that by July 1, 2027, if any agency has not completed arranging job positions and building a new salary scale, it must report to the competent authority and have a roadmap to overcome the situation.

The draft revised Law on Civil Servants, after being submitted to the National Assembly on the morning of October 22, continued to be discussed by National Assembly deputies in groups on many revised and supplemented contents.

Delegate Ha Sy Dong ( Quang Tri ) acknowledged that the revised Law on Civil Servants has strongly shifted to managing civil servants according to job positions, clearly classifying three groups of titles and attaching corresponding responsibilities, powers and authorities, contributing to overcoming the situation of averageness and dispersion in salary use and payment.

According to delegate Dong, the expanded mechanism of autonomy, decentralization, and delegation of power, along with the accountability of heads of public service units, is also a step in line with the spirit of administrative reform, salary reform, and building a digital government .

Along with that, he said that the new regulations on evaluating and classifying civil servants in a quantitative and multidimensional manner, linking results with income and personnel, will help increase publicity, transparency and encourage innovation.

The draft law also demonstrates the spirit of encouraging innovation and creativity when there is a mechanism to exclude, exempt or reduce responsibility for groups and individuals who dare to think and act for the common good. Delegate Dong emphasized that this is an important step forward in protecting officials who dare to take responsibility.

Giving further comments on the regulation allowing civil servants to sign labor or service contracts, contribute capital or participate in the management of non-public enterprises, delegates from Quang Tri province, although supportive, still expressed concern about the possibility of conflicts of interest.

He suggested that the drafting committee clearly stipulate the mechanism for declaration, approval and list of prohibited locations, and at the same time stipulate the responsibility of the head in controlling and handling violations.

“It is necessary to clearly define the criteria, procedures and approval authority for civil servants' extracurricular activities; and have a list of absolutely prohibited positions to prevent conflicts of interest,” delegate Dong suggested.

Sharing the same concern, delegate Huynh Thi Anh Suong (Quang Ngai) emphasized that allowing civil servants to contribute capital and participate in business management is an open step, encouraging creativity and taking advantage of the capacity and intelligence of civil servants.

But according to the female delegate, it is very necessary to have specific, principled regulations in the law and clearly state them in the guiding decree on this content.

Regarding the regulation on salary payment according to job position, Quang Tri province delegate Ha Sy Dong proposed that the Government soon issue a new salary framework, stipulate the range, resources and implementation roadmap; at the same time, have a mid-term assessment milestone to ensure substantive implementation, avoiding formality.

The delegate emphasized the need to soon issue a set of unified national quantitative assessment criteria, integrated with the national database on civil servants, linked with the population database and electronic identification, helping to reduce procedures and increase transparency.

In particular, according to him, it is necessary to have specific regulations on handling the transition until July 1, 2027. If agencies and units have not completed the job placement and construction of new salary scales, they must report to competent authorities and have a clear roadmap for remediation.

Regarding civil servant evaluation, the draft assigns the Government to specify details, but according to Mr. Dong, it is necessary to clearly state mandatory minimum criteria such as output results, task completion level, people's satisfaction index, digital transformation level, and financial and human resource management efficiency.

Commenting on this content, delegate Pham Van Hoa (Dong Thap) supported the direction of simplifying the evaluation procedure. He said that according to the old regulations, there had to be many meetings with many components but it was still a formality, "peace is precious" in evaluating civil servants in the style of "if you evaluate me well, I will evaluate you well".

Therefore, Mr. Hoa believes that the authority should be given to the heads of agencies and organizations to evaluate civil servants under their management, linked to job positions and KPIs.
