Ms. Mai Thi Hong (character's name has been changed) is a primary school teacher from 2012 to 2021 under a labor contract of less than 12 months. She is fully covered by social insurance.
During those years, she also participated in competitions for excellent teachers at school and district levels and was an emulation fighter, receiving a certificate of merit from the province.
After becoming an official payroll, Ms. Hong used the above achievements to consider early salary increase, and was told that her achievements were not included in the salary increase because they were achievements when she was a contract employee.
Then, when the locality had a promotion review of the professional title of teacher from Grade III to Grade II, she continued not to be considered for promotion to the professional title.
"When I joined the payroll, I had to return to receive the first salary levels. So when I was a contract teacher, what achievements did I strive for?" - Ms. Hong reflected.
