After that, the People's Artists and Meritorious Artists will be invited to the podium to receive the title conferment certificate from the Party and State leaders.
According to Decree 98/2023/ND-CP dated December 31, 2023 of the Government detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Law on Emulation and Commendation, effective from January 1, 2024, the bonus level for People's Artists is 12.5 times the base salary, and for Meritorious Artists is 9 times the base salary.
Specifically, individuals receiving the title of People's Artist will receive a bonus of 22.5 million VND (equivalent to a coefficient of 12.5), while individuals receiving the title of Meritorious Artist will receive a bonus of 16.2 million VND (equivalent to a coefficient of 9). In addition, artists who are awarded the title will also receive a salary increase at the governing body.
The amount of bonus that artists awarded the title of People's Artist and Meritorious Artist receive has changed a lot compared to before. Around 2012, the title of People's Artist was awarded from 12-15 million VND, the title of Meritorious Artist received less than 10 million VND.
