Youme Law Firm LLC said that, based on Clause 4, Article 3 of Decree 73/2024/ND-CP, it is stipulated as follows:
Basic salary
1. Basic salary used as basis:
a) Calculate salary levels in salary tables, allowance levels and implement other regimes according to law provisions for subjects specified in Article 2 of this Decree;
b) Calculate operating and living expenses according to the provisions of law;
c) Calculate deductions and benefits based on basic salary.
2. From July 1, 2024, the basic salary is 2,340,000 VND/month.
3. For agencies and units that are applying special financial and income mechanisms at the Central level: Retain the difference between the salary and additional income in June 2024 of cadres, civil servants and public employees with the salary from July 1, 2024 after amending or abolishing the special financial and income mechanisms.
During the period of not amending or abolishing these mechanisms, the monthly salary and income increase will be calculated based on the basic salary of VND 2,340,000/month according to the special mechanism from July 1, 2024, ensuring that it does not exceed the salary and income increase received in June 2024 (excluding the salary and income increase due to adjustment of salary coefficients of salary scale and grade when upgrading grade and grade).
In case of calculation according to the above principle, if the salary and income increase from July 1, 2024 according to the special mechanism is lower than the salary according to general regulations, the salary regime according to general regulations will be implemented.
4. The Government shall adjust the basic salary after reporting to the National Assembly for consideration and decision in accordance with the state budget capacity, consumer price index and economic growth rate of the country.
Accordingly, the decision not to increase or decrease the basic salary of 2.34 million VND/month in 2025 must officially be based on the following 3 main factors:
- State budget capacity;
- Consumer price index;
- The country's economic growth rate.
The Government will rely on the above factors to decide on increasing or decreasing the basic salary by 2.34 million VND in 2025.
