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.
