Salary distribution for library staff when switching to teaching
Ms. Tran Thi Hong Lam (Quang Ngai) is a intermediate clerical staff member of a public high school, recruited for the position of Secondary School Teacher of Grade III in October 2024. At the time of recruitment, she was receiving a type B civil servant salary, coefficient 3.26 and had paid compulsory social insurance fully and continuously for 20 years (not yet receiving a one-time allowance).
Ms. Lam asked, after the probation period, is she entitled to transfer the salary scale from the salary coefficient currently enjoyed at the time of recruitment being 3.26 to 3.33 according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 4 of Circular 05/2024/TT-BNV and Clause 2, Section II of Circular No. 02/2027/TT-BNV? If not, is she entitled to salary scale based on the time of social insurance contribution after deducting probationary time?
Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Home Affairs guides: According to Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP, in case the person recruited and admitted to public office according to the provisions of this Decree has previously worked in accordance with the provisions of law, has paid compulsory social insurance (if not continuously but has not received a one-time social insurance allowance, it is accumulated), then that time is calculated as a basis for ranking salaries according to professional titles suitable to the job position being recruited and admitted if it meets all the conditions according to regulations.
The Ministry of Home Affairs also requested Ms. Tran Thi Hong Lam to contact local functional agencies for guidance and implementation according to regulations.
