Ms. T.T. H (Lao Cai) was formerly a teacher at the Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary School, working from December 2013 to December 2023 (10 years 1 month), then quit her job according to personal wishes.
In the 2022–2023 school year, Ms. T.H taught beyond the prescribed norms but did not receive payment for overtime teaching.
Ms. T.H asked, if she has quit her job, is she entitled to recover the overtime teaching fee if it is proven that the teaching time exceeds the norm? Who is responsible for the omission of her rights and is there any policy or guidance to protect the rights of teachers in similar cases?
Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Education and Training said that the overtime teaching salary payment regime in the 2022-2023 school year, 2023-2024 school year is implemented according to Joint Circular No. 07/2013/TTLT-BGDĐT-BNV-BTC dated March 8, 2013 of the Minister of Education and Training, the Minister of Home Affairs and the Minister of Finance guiding the implementation of the overtime teaching salary payment regime for teachers in public educational institutions.
According to the provisions of Clause 5, Article 3 of Joint Circular No. 07/2013/TTLT-BGDĐT-BNV-BTC, public educational institutions shall base on the specific conditions of each unit to make payments or advances for overtime teaching salaries per month or per semester to be appropriate.
Based on the regulations in Joint Circular No. 07/2013/TTLT-BGDĐT-BNV-BTC, if in the 2022-2023 school year, the 2023-2024 school year, the Ministry of Education and Training said that Ms. T.T. H is eligible for overtime teaching salary payment, it is requested that she reflect it to the Ethnic Minority Boarding Primary School for guidance and settlement according to its authority.
