Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh (name of the character changed) said that according to Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW of the Central Government on salary policy reform, by 2025, the lowest salary of cadres, civil servants, and public employees must be higher than the lowest average salary in regions of the business sector.
He proposed that the Ministry of Home Affairs soon have opinions and advise the Politburo to adjust the related Conclusions to be appropriate, in order to ensure the rights and responsibilities of cadres, civil servants, and public employees.
In addition, he also cited the regulation that the salary of trained workers must be at least 7% higher, and at the same time noted the salary reform roadmap to 2030 and opinions of National Assembly deputies on income.
According to him, if the salary adjustment level is too low, it will not keep up with the market price inflation and will not be commensurate with the increasing workload of cadres, civil servants, and public employees, especially in the context of arranging and merging the apparatus.
Regarding Mr. Thanh's feedback and recommendations, the Ministry of Home Affairs has responded on the Electronic Information Portal.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has chaired and coordinated with relevant ministries and agencies to report to competent authorities on the implementation of 6 salary reform contents according to Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW from July 1, 2024. However, in the process of implementation, many obstacles and inadequacies arose.
Accordingly, the Politburo issued Conclusion No. 83-KL/TW dated June 21, 2024; the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 142/2024/QH15 dated June 29, 2024 (Resolution of the 7th Session, 15th National Assembly) and the Government issued Decree No. 73/2024/ND-CP dated June 30, 2024 adjusting the base salary from 1,800,000 VND/month to 2,340,000 VND/month (an increase of 30%) from July 1, 2024 for cadres, civil servants, public employees and armed forces.
The adjustment of the above-mentioned base salary level is a major effort of the Central Government, the National Assembly, and the Government to contribute to improving the lives of salaried people, creating motivation and improving stable social labor productivity;
At point 5.2 of Conclusion No. 83-KL/TW, the Politburo assigned the Central Economic Committee (now the Central Policy and Strategy Committee) to preside over the preliminary review of Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW, in which it coordinated with the Ministry of Home Affairs and relevant departments, ministries, and branches to study and assess the suitability, feasibility and propose the implementation of 5 salary scales and 9 new allowance regimes for the public sector to be appropriate.
This content is to be submitted to the Central Government for consideration after 2026 when the Politburo promulgates and implements the System of Job Position Lists in the political system.
Based on the goals and tasks approved by the 14th National Party Congress, socio-economic and financial development plans for the next 5 years, socio-economic conditions and the capacity of the State budget, the Ministry of Home Affairs will report to competent authorities to consider and propose appropriate salary regimes (including citizens' recommendations) according to the roadmap in Conclusion No. 83-KL/TW dated June 21, 2024 of the Politburo on salary reform.
The issue he proposed will be studied by ministries and specialized agencies to submit to competent authorities for consideration and decision when implementing salary policy reform" - the Ministry of Home Affairs said.
