Youme Law Firm LLC said that according to Point b, Clause 3.1, Section 3 of Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, regulating salary reform, a new salary table system will be developed and issued according to job positions, titles and leadership positions to replace the current salary table system; convert old salaries to new salaries, ensuring that they are not lower than current salaries. 5 new salary tables include:
- Develop a salary table for positions applicable to cadres, civil servants, and public employees holding leadership positions (elected and appointed) in the political system from the Central to the commune level according to the principle:
(1) The salary for a position must be shown in the political system; any leadership position must be paid according to that position, if a person holds multiple positions, he/she must be paid the highest salary for the position; if holding an equivalent leadership position, he/she must be paid the same salary for the position; the position salary of a superior leader must be higher than the position salary of a subordinate leader;
(2) Stipulate a salary for each equivalent position; do not classify ministries, branches, departments, committees and equivalents at the central level when developing a salary table for positions at the central level; do not distinguish between different salary levels for the same leadership position according to the classification of local administrative units but implement with the allowance regime. The classification of equivalent leadership positions in the political system to design the position salary table is decided by the Politburo after reporting to the Central Executive Committee.
- Develop a professional and technical salary table according to civil servant ranks and professional titles of civil servants applied generally to civil servants and public employees not holding leadership positions; each civil servant rank and professional title of civil servants has many salary levels according to the principle:
The same level of work complexity has the same salary; higher than normal working conditions and job incentives are implemented with a job allowance regime; rearrange the group of ranks and the number of levels in civil servant ranks, professional titles of public employees, encourage civil servants and public employees to improve their professional qualifications and skills.
Appointment to the civil servant rank or professional title of civil servants must be associated with the job position and the structure of civil servant ranks and professional titles of civil servants implemented by the agency, organization, or unit managing civil servants and public employees.
- Develop 3 salary tables for the armed forces, including: 1 salary table for military officers, officers, non-commissioned officers of the public security profession (according to position, title and military rank or rank); 1 salary table for professional soldiers, police technical specialists and 1 salary table for defense workers, police workers (including maintaining the salary correlation of the armed forces with the current salary of administrative civil servants).
Thus, the new salary table for civil servants and public employees will stipulate a salary for each type of position equivalent to the salary table for positions applied to cadres, civil servants and public employees holding leadership positions (elected and appointed) in the political system from the Central to the commune level.
