In addition to teachers who are entitled to work responsibility allowances according to the provisions of law, this Decree stipulates a number of additional cases of being entitled to work responsibility allowances at the following levels:
The labor responsibility allowance regime for teachers, principals, deputy principals and equivalent who have received responsibility allowances is not applied according to the provisions of Article 12 of Decree No. 76/2019/ND-CP dated October 8, 2019 of the Government on policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees, employees and salary earners in the armed forces working in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions.

The calculation of responsibility allowances is carried out in accordance with the provisions of law, except in cases where teachers directly teaching people with disabilities in accordance with the right to education in educational institutions that are not specialized schools or centers supporting the development of right to education are entitled to occupational responsibility allowances as follows:
Allowance = 0.2 x Basic salary x (Number of teaching hours in a month/Norm of teaching hours in a month)
In which, the standard of teaching hours and lessons for teachers in a month = the standard of teaching hours and lessons for teachers in a year/12,
The social insurance allowance is paid at the same monthly salary and is not used to calculate and pay social insurance benefits.

The method of calculating allowances for hardship, damage, and danger is implemented according to the provisions of law. In particular, the cases where teachers specified in this Article are calculated according to the actual number of practical teaching hours of the arduous, harmful, and dangerous fields and professions, specifically as follows:
Allowances = Allowances x Basic salary x (Number of actual teaching hours/Teaching periodicity in a month);
In which, the standard of teaching hours and lessons for teachers in a month = the standard of teaching hours and lessons for teachers in a year/12,
The allowance for hardship, damage, and danger is paid at the same monthly salary and is not used to calculate social insurance contributions and benefits.
The Ministry of Education and Training plans that the additional cost to pay the circulating allowances to the subjects is about 5.5 billion/month, 50 billion/year.
