At a regular press conference on the afternoon of June 20, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra took the time to inform and analyze the plan to implement the salary policy in the spirit of Resolution 27, which will be applied from July 1.
All happy
The Minister emphasized: "When talking about salary reform, salaries must be increased. Salary reform without achieving the goal of increasing salaries is meaningless."
Therefore, in recent times, the Government has closely followed Resolution 27 on reforming salary policy for cadres, civil servants, public employees, armed forces and employees in enterprises to study the most suitable plan, so that all subjects related to salary policy must have their salaries increased.
"This is the goal of Resolution 27, the goal of the Party and the desire and expectation of all cadres, civil servants, public employees and other relevant subjects," Ms. Tra emphasized.
Accordingly, the salary of employees in the enterprise is fully and comprehensively covered in both contents in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 27.
That is to adjust the regional minimum wage for employees in the enterprise sector from July 1, 2024 to increase by 6%. Second is to implement income management for the State enterprise sector according to a very open mechanism, creating conditions for State enterprises to develop and improve the lives of employees.
Regarding the implementation of salary reform in the public sector, the Minister noted that it must be implemented carefully, step by step, reasonably, firmly, most effectively, and safely, without causing disruption or complicating the situation, and achieving the goal of increasing salaries for all subjects receiving salaries from the State budget, and enjoying policies related to social security and social welfare.
Therefore, the Politburo agreed to implement 4/6 clear contents of Resolution 27. There are still 2 contents that are currently facing many difficulties and arising problems.
That is the implementation of salary payment according to job position and according to leadership position and title, which will continue to be studied and implemented according to the roadmap. Instead, it is necessary to unify the principle of increasing salary equally for all subjects by 30% from adjusting the current basic salary from 1.8 million to 2.34 million.
"That way everyone is happy and everyone enjoys the same benefits," the Minister emphasized.
The Minister analyzed that the reason for choosing this option is because when building the salary table for positions, leadership titles and building the salary table for cadres, civil servants and public employees, several problems arise.
Specifically, when abolishing the basic salary and salary coefficient to build the salary table for positions, leadership titles and the salary table for cadres, civil servants and public employees, it leads to great irrationality. That is, the correlation between the subjects is not guaranteed.
Civil servants - strategic staff - will receive a very low increase, only over 20%. Officials can receive an increase of over 50%. Other subjects will also receive a similar increase, but on average, the increase will be about 30.6%.
There are many subjects that have an increase of over 30%, but there are also many subjects that have a very low increase, only about 3 - 5%, and many subjects have no increase or are lower than their current salary.
Another problem is that when changing the allowance fund structure in the total salary fund from the current 40/60 (equivalent to the allowance fund being 67% of the basic salary fund) to 30/70 (equivalent to the allowance fund being 43% of the basic salary fund, a decrease of 24% compared to the current), some problems also arise.
Along with the abolition of seniority allowances for cadres, civil servants, and public employees in some specialized fields and the need to rearrange many current allowance regimes into a new allowance regime, many beneficiaries of allowances will be reduced, especially the teaching force (the largest force in society) will no longer have seniority allowances.
These developments lead to some subjects being increased by over 30%, 15%, but some subjects not being increased or being increased lower.
No one is left behind, no one is disadvantaged
“In such a situation, we must choose the most optimal, most reasonable, most fair, most equal, most effective solution that meets the expectations of all cadres, civil servants, and public employees. That is the solution to increase all salaries by 30% on the basis of maintaining the basic salary level,” the Minister of Home Affairs explained.
The advantage of this option is that it does not impact or affect current regulations related to basic salary, building mechanisms and policies on social security and social welfare.
There are currently over 10 legal documents promulgating mechanisms and policies for social subjects to enjoy social security and welfare policies associated with the basic salary level... Abolishing these documents and policies will directly impact over 50 million people, "who will not be able to react in time to cope".
How to refer to the law when it is still in effect, when all documents have not been amended or supplemented, is also a "headache" problem.
“The Prime Minister, the Government Standing Committee, and we had to spend a lot of time thinking and considering the options. In the end, choosing the option of increasing the basic salary was the most optimal,” the Minister shared.
Ms. Tra also informed that the Politburo agreed to assign the Government to study, review, and supplement the implementation of Resolution 27 according to a roadmap that is "cautious, certain, effective, feasible, and meets the expectations of all, leaving no one behind, no one at a disadvantage in implementing this salary".
The Government will report to the National Assembly, officially issue the decree and it will begin implementation from July 1.
Regarding the continued implementation of the salary reform project, Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that, based on the conclusion of the Politburo, the Central Economic Commission will preside over a preliminary review and reassessment of difficulties and problems in implementing Resolution 27, especially the construction of salary tables and allowances.
From there, amend and supplement the fundamental issues to implement the salary table according to job position and leadership title. That is the principle of building salary tables and salary relations to suit practical conditions.
At the appropriate time, the Central Executive Committee will give its opinion on this issue and will continue to implement it when conditions permit.
