The Ministry of Home Affairs will preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to study appropriateness, feasibility and propose new salary, allowance and bonus regimes.
In particular, there is a salary and income policy for cadres, civil servants, and public employees working at agencies and units under local governments at 2 levels, ensuring compliance with Party regulations, legal regulations, and state budget capacity.
Currently developing a comprehensive salary reform project
According to information from the Ministry of Home Affairs, the agency has so far submitted to the Politburo a draft salary and allowance regime (positions, areas, characteristics) for cadres, civil servants, and public employees after implementing the organizational arrangement and organizing the implementation of the 2-level local government model; according to the deadline assigned by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, which is before December 15, 2025.

According to the plan, the Central Steering Committee will preside over the re-evaluation of Resolution 27 and report to the Central Committee in the first quarter of 2026.
On that basis, a specific salary reform plan will be developed with a suitable roadmap and steps. This reform must be placed in the context of administrative reform, associated with economic growth and the payment capacity of the state budget.
