Mr. Dao Van Binh was discharged from the army in 1993. From December 1995 to present, he has been a state civil servant.
"Will I add 2 years of military service to the salary increase and social insurance period according to Circular No. 03/2021?" - Mr. Binh wondered.
Regarding Mr. Binh's reflection on the proposal, the Ministry of Home Affairs responded on the Electronic Information Portal.
Regarding salary increase, on June 29, 2021, the Minister of Home Affairs issued Circular No. 03/2021 amending and supplementing Circular No. 08 2013 31.7. 2013 on guiding the implementation of the regular salary increase regime, early salary increase regime and seniority allowance regime beyond the framework for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers effective from August 15, 2021.
