On the afternoon of June 25, the National Assembly listened to the Government report on salary reform; adjustment of pensions, social insurance benefits, preferential benefits for people with meritorious services and social benefits from July 1, 2024.
Presenting the Government's report, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that in the process of implementing and developing 6 specific contents on public sector salary reform in accordance with Resolution No. 27 of the 12th Central Committee, the Government realized that many problems and shortcomings arose.
Including issues of new payroll; rearranging allowances; building and perfecting job positions...
These contents were reported by the Government to the Politburo. On June 21, the Politburo issued Conclusion No. 83 agreeing on the policy for the Government to report to the National Assembly for implementation.
Supplement bonus regime equal to 10% of salary fund
Regarding the public sector, the Minister of Home Affairs said that the Government reported and recommended that the National Assembly allow the implementation of 4/6 contents of Resolution No. 27, which are clear and meet the conditions for implementation.
Specifically, perfecting the salary increase regime; supplementing the bonus regime from July 1, 2024 (equal to 10% of the basic salary fund) associated with the assessment and classification of work completion level, creating work motivation, improving work quality and efficiency; implementing regulations and clearly guiding 5 funding sources for implementing the salary regime; perfecting the salary and income management mechanism.
In particular, the Government will regulate and guide the authority of the head to use the salary fund and regular expenditure budget to hire experts, scientists, and talented people to perform the tasks of the agency or unit and to decide on the income payment level associated with the assigned tasks; expand the pilot of increased salary for localities that have balanced their own budgets...
Regarding 2/6 contents of public sector salary reform including new salary tables (removing basic salary and salary coefficient), restructuring and arranging into 9 new allowance regimes, the Minister of Home Affairs said that this is the content that still has many shortcomings.
Therefore, these two contents need to continue to be studied and completed step by step, carefully, and at the same time, it is necessary to consider amending or abolishing many current regulations related to basic salary.
The Government proposes to abolish the basic salary and salary coefficient for implementing the solution to increase public sector salaries from July 1, 2024 with 3 contents during the time when conditions are not met.
Firstly , the Government is assigned to adjust the basic salary from the current 1.8 million VND to 2.34 million VND/month (an increase of 30%), without abolishing the current basic salary and salary coefficient.
Second , to research, amend and supplement the allowance regime and some special regimes of the armed forces and of cadres, civil servants and public employees in some specialized fields where unreasonable conditions arise during the implementation process.
Third , retain salaries and income for agencies and units currently applying special financial and income mechanisms.
The Government continues to direct the review of the entire legal framework to submit to competent authorities for consideration and decision on amending or abolishing the specific financial and income mechanisms of agencies and units that are being implemented appropriately.
During the period of not amending or abolishing these mechanisms, the monthly salary and additional income will be calculated based on the basic salary of 2.34 million VND/month according to the special mechanism from July 1, 2024, 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, 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.
Preferential allowance for meritorious people will increase by 35.7%
In addition, the Government also proposed that the National Assembly allow a 15% increase in pensions and social insurance benefits.
For those receiving pension before 1995, after adjustment, if the benefit level is lower than 3.2 million VND/month, the adjustment will increase by 0.3 million VND/month, if the benefit level is from 3.2 million VND/month to less than 3.5 million VND/month, the adjustment will be equal to 3.5 million VND/month.
For preferential subsidies for meritorious people, the Government proposes to increase the standard subsidy level from VND 2.55 million to VND 2.789 million/month (an increase of 35.7%).
Social allowance according to the social assistance standard increased from 360,000 VND to 500,000 VND/month (an increase of 38.9%).
The Government will soon report to the Central Executive Committee on expanding the scope of using the accumulated salary reform resources of the central and local budgets to spend on adjusting pensions, social insurance benefits, preferential benefits for people with meritorious services, social subsidies, social security policies and streamlining payrolls.
For the business sector, the Government proposes to fully implement Resolution No. 27 with 2 contents. That is, adjusting the regional minimum wage according to the provisions of the Labor Code (increasing by 6% from July 1, 2024); regulating the wage mechanism for State-owned enterprises (applied from January 1, 2025).
The Government proposed to include these contents in the Joint Resolution of the 7th session to submit to the National Assembly for consideration and decision.
