At the press conference, answering reporters' questions about the reason for applying a 15% basic salary increase for pensioners, while civil servants and public employees are subject to a 30% increase, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Social Affairs Dang Thuan Phong said that the CPI increased many times along with the salary of pensioners. If added together, that number would only increase by 11.5%, which is equal to the 30% increase for civil servants and public employees. However, because pensioners still have difficult lives, the Salary Reform Steering Committee considered increasing the increase to 15%. Therefore, if the CPI indexes are added together, the actual pension will increase by more than 30%. This demonstrates a humane policy, giving priority to retired cadres.
Responding to reporters' questions about the salary reform roadmap according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW on salary reform, the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Social Affairs said: Salary reform according to Resolution 27 has been postponed three times and has not yet been completed. The spirit is to be cautious, certain, and effective.
According to Mr. Dang Thuan Phong, the Salary Reform Steering Committee has held 24-25 meetings, of which 4 contents have been implemented, while 2 contents have not been implemented yet because the new salary table is determined by job position.
The implementation process shows that job positioning is not consistent between sectors and localities even in the same field; the salaries of the armed forces also fluctuate to some extent... At the same time, currently, with large public service units, the number of full autonomy, autonomy in regular expenditure and investment is very low, autonomy in regular expenditure is also low, partial autonomy in regular expenditure is low at less than 30%; units that are not autonomous from the State Budget must be handled by over 70%.
"If the employment problem in public service units and the self-resolution mechanism are not resolved, it will be very difficult to handle salary reform. Therefore, the Salary Reform Steering Committee has proposed to extend the time for the Government to review and carefully calculate the job position review formula to calculate the salary coefficient. The principle is to determine the job position on the basis of streamlining the payroll, then different salary coefficients can be calculated, and then salary reform can be carried out" - the Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Social Affairs stated.
According to the Vice Chairman of the Committee for Social Affairs, in the coming time, the Government will certainly conduct a comprehensive review, looking at all salary tables to have a unified State management of salaries. On that basis, calculate salary levels and appropriate solutions for effective management.
In addition, another problem is in the implementation of the 9 allowance regimes. The current salary structure is 40 - 60, meaning 40% allowance, 60% basic salary. According to the new design when rearranging the 9 allowance groups, the ratio is 30 - 70. If these measures are not handled synchronously, some people will be very disadvantaged.
For example, in remote, isolated, and especially difficult areas, the salary structure is largely based on this allowance. However, if reform is implemented, the salary allowance groups of this group may be lower than before the reform. This does not encourage talent and effort. Therefore, the Salary Reform Steering Committee has allowed the above part to be retained for calculation, research, and further improvement.
In addition, if all 9 allowance levels are fully applied, there will be inconsistencies, including those who receive full salary before July 1, 2024, which is different from those who receive salary after July 1, 2024, and there is no synchronous compatibility between beneficiaries.
In addition, the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Social Affairs said that it is also necessary to calculate the 10% of the reward fund, so that on that basis there is a source of encouragement for each agency and unit when implementing salary reform. At the same time, when reforming salary, it will be necessary to amend more than 20 legal documents related to basic salary, which the Government has not yet submitted.
Adjust the basic salary from 1.8 million VND to 2.34 million VND/month
The session reviewed and decided on personnel work within its authority, socio-economic issues, and the State budget; passed 11 laws and 21 resolutions, gave initial opinions on 11 other draft laws; conducted questions and answers; supervised the topic "Implementation of Resolution No. 43/2022/QH15 dated January 11, 2022 of the National Assembly on fiscal and monetary policies to support the Socio-economic Recovery and Development Program and resolutions of the National Assembly on a number of important national projects until the end of 2023"; reviewed the report on synthesizing voters' and people's recommendations, reported on the results of monitoring the settlement of voters' recommendations, and a number of other important contents.
Notably, the National Assembly reviewed and approved the Resolution of the 7th session of the 15th National Assembly with many important contents, including: fully implementing 2 contents of salary reform in the enterprise sector in accordance with Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW, including: adjusting the regional minimum wage according to the provisions of the Labor Code (an average increase of 6% applied from July 1, 2024); regulating the salary mechanism for state-owned enterprises (applied from January 1, 2025).
Implement salary reform according to Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW in the public sector in a gradual, cautious, and certain manner, ensuring feasibility and contributing to improving the lives of wage earners. Assign the Government to implement the contents that are clear and eligible for implementation. Adjust the basic salary from 1.8 million VND/month to 2.34 million VND/month (an increase of 30%) from July 1, 2024. At the same time, from July 1, 2024, adjust the current pension and social insurance benefits to increase by 15% (June 2024).
