On the afternoon of June 20, in Hanoi , comrade Pham Thi Thanh Tra, member of the Party Central Committee and Minister of Home Affairs chaired a press conference to provide periodic information and meet with reporters and editors to celebrate the 99th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2024).
Also attending were Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Truong Hai Long; Chief of Office and Spokesperson of the Ministry of Home Affairs Vu Dang Minh.
Civil servant and public employee salaries increased by 30.6%
At the press conference, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that on the morning of June 19, the Politburo decided on the policy of reforming salary policy, the Government reported to the National Assembly a number of solutions to implement the adjustment of salary, pension, social insurance allowance, preferential allowance for meritorious people and social allowance according to "a roadmap, step by step, reasonable, cautious, certain; ensuring feasibility, efficiency, and affordability of the state budget".
Therefore, the Government proposes that during the time when the conditions for abolishing the basic salary and salary coefficient are not yet met, the solution to increase public sector salaries from July 1, 2024 with 3 contents should be implemented.
Firstly, adjust the basic salary from the current 1.8 million VND to 2.34 million VND/month (increase of 30%).
According to the calculation of the Ministry of Finance, when fully implementing the contents of public sector salary reform according to Resolution No. 27, the total salary fund increase (excluding bonuses) of cadres, civil servants and public employees is 30.6%.
Second, during the period when the conditions for implementing the 9 new allowances are not yet met, the current allowances will continue to be implemented; at the same time, the Government will be assigned to study and amend the allowance regime and some special regimes of the armed forces and of cadres, civil servants and public employees in some specialized sectors where unreasonable issues arise during the implementation process.
For some ministries and sectors that are proposing to have a job-based allowance regime, it is necessary to continue to clarify factors regarding preferential policies and working conditions to report to competent authorities for consideration and decision.
Third, implementing salaries and incomes for state administrative agencies and units that are currently applying special financial and income mechanisms. The Government assigned the Ministry of Finance to preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to continue reviewing the entire legal framework to submit to competent authorities for consideration and decision on amending or abolishing the special financial and income mechanisms of agencies and units that are being implemented appropriately.
During the period of not being amended or abolished, from July 1, 2024, the monthly salary and additional income will be calculated based on the basic salary of VND 2.34 million/month according to a special mechanism ensuring that it does not exceed the salary and additional income received in June 2024 (excluding the salary and additional income due to adjustment of the salary coefficient of the salary scale and grade when upgrading the grade or grade).
In case of calculation according to the above principle, if the salary and income increase from July 1, 2024 according to the special mechanism is lower than the salary according to general regulations, the salary regime according to general regulations will be implemented.
According to the Minister of Home Affairs, the adjustment of the basic salary to 30% is the highest increase since the country's founding; contributing to improving the lives of salary earners and beneficiaries of policies and regimes related to the basic salary; at the same time, contributing to social progress and justice, ensuring socio-political stability; contributing to promoting socio-economic growth and development.
In addition, maintaining the current allowance is also to ensure the rights of civil servants, public employees, and workers; especially teachers and a few sectors that are receiving seniority allowances and some other special allowances will continue to receive them as per current regulations.
These are great efforts of the Government in implementing Resolution 27 of the Central Committee to contribute to improving the lives of wage earners and beneficiaries of allowances, subsidies and support policies associated with the basic salary level.
