Regulations on basic salary and bonuses for officers and armed forces

From July 1, the basic salary is 2.34 million VND/month instead of 1.8 million VND/month as before.

The Decree clearly states that the basic salary is used as the basis for calculating salary levels in salary tables, allowance levels and implementing other regimes according to the provisions of law for the above-mentioned subjects; calculating operating expenses and living expenses according to the provisions of law; calculating deductions and regimes enjoyed according to the basic salary level.

For agencies and units that are applying special financial and income mechanisms at the Central level, it is necessary to reserve the difference between the salary and additional income in June 2024 of cadres, civil servants and public employees with the salary from July 1 after amending or abolishing the special financial and income mechanisms.

During the period of not amending or abolishing these mechanisms, the monthly salary and additional income increase will be implemented based on the basic salary of 2.34 million VND/month according to the special mechanism from July 1, ensuring that it does not exceed the salary and additional income received in June 2024.

In case of calculation according to the above principle, if the salary and income increase from July 1 according to the special mechanism is lower than the salary according to general regulations, the salary regime according to general regulations will be implemented.

The Decree clearly states that people receiving salaries and allowances subject to the new basic salary include:

Officials and civil servants from central to district level.

In addition, unused funds for implementing salary reform in 2023 can be transferred.
