According to Mr. Tran Van Luu (Long An province), recently, agencies and localities have basically implemented the contents related to salary increase of civil servants and public employees according to regulations. This is also the content that has received much attention from civil servants and public employees.
However, to ensure compliance with the actual situation and life of civil servants and public employees, Mr. Luu proposed that the Ministry of Home Affairs amend and reduce the regular salary increase period for positions/ranks requiring university degrees from 3 years to 2 years.
Mr. Luu said that currently, the time of 3 years to increase 1 salary level with a rate of 0.33 is quite short compared to the inflation rate and living standards of civil servants and public employees. With 3 years of salary increase of about 1 million VND, the average increase per year is about 300,000 VND.
Mr. Tran Van Luu proposed that the Ministry of Home Affairs revise the number of years or change the increase accordingly.
Regarding the reflection and recommendation of Mr. Tran Van Luu, the Ministry of Home Affairs has responded on the Electronic Information Portal.
