The Ministry of Home Affairs is seeking opinions on the draft Circular amending and supplementing a number of contents of Joint Circular No. 11 dated January 5, 2005 of the Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, Minister of Finance and Minister, Chairman of the Committee for Ethnic Minorities guiding the implementation of regional allowance regime (replacing Circular No. 23/2025/TT-BNV).
Accordingly, one of the amended and supplemented contents is to replace the phrase "General minimum wage" with the phrase "Base salary" at point a, clause 2, section II of Joint Circular No. 11/2005/TTLTBNV-BLĐTBXH-BTC-UBD.
The expected regional allowance is regulated to include 7 levels: 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4; 0.5; 0.7 and 1.0 compared to the base salary level; the level of 1.0 only applies to particularly difficult and arduous islands such as the Truong Sa archipelago.
The regional allowance level is calculated according to the following formula: Regional allowance level = Regional allowance coefficient x Base salary level.
Below is a detailed list of areas expected to apply regional allowance 0.7 issued together with the draft Circular:
