The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued Official Dispatch 11185/BNV-VP guiding allowances and salary ranking when organizing local government at 2 levels sent to the Department of Home Affairs of Khanh Hoa province.
According to the Department of Home Affairs of Khanh Hoa province, the regulations on regimes and policies for non-specialized workers at the commune level according to the Resolution of the Provincial People's Council are based on the quota level specified in Decree No. 33/2023.
This Department wonders, after arranging commune-level administrative units, in case of continuing to use non-specialized workers at the commune level, can the subsidy quota level of the new commune level be added to the subsidy quota levels of communes, wards, and towns before arranging according to Decree No. 33/2023 to equally divide the subsidy level for non-specialized workers at the currently arranged commune level?
For example: Commune A, before being arranged as a type I administrative unit, was allocated an allowance fund equal to 21.0 times the base salary, corresponding to 14 people;
Commune B, previously arranged as a type II administrative unit, was allocated an allowance fund equal to 18.0 times the base salary corresponding to 12 people;
Commune C, previously arranged as a type III administrative unit, was allocated an allowance fund equal to 15.0 times the base salary corresponding to 10 people.
After arranging communes A, B, C into 1 new commune, the total number of non-specialized workers at the commune level temporarily assigned to perform tasks is 15 people.
Thus, can the allocated allowance level of the new commune be combined with the allocated allowance level of the 3 old communes (21.0+18.00+15.0) to divide equally among 15 people currently being allocated (i.e., each actual position allocated is entitled to 3.6 times the base salary already included in social insurance contributions)?
If not accumulated, the Department of Home Affairs of Khanh Hoa province requests the Ministry of Home Affairs to guide the allowance level to be enjoyed for these cases.
Regarding the above content, the Ministry of Home Affairs has responded in Official Dispatch 11185/BNV-VP.
According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Conclusions of the Politburo, the Secretariat, Document No. 12/CV-BCD dated June 20, 2025 of the Steering Committee for arranging administrative units and building a 2-level local government organization model and Decree No. 154/2025 dated June 15, 2025 of the Government on streamlining staff have specifically stipulated and guided the temporary arrangement and settlement of policies for non-specialized workers at the commune level until May 31, 2026.
Accordingly, the allowance level for non-specialized commune-level employees is allowed to continue to apply the allowance level specified in the Resolutions of the People's Councils of provinces and cities before arrangement, or the People's Councils of provinces and cities after arrangement may issue a Document to decide on the uniform application of the allowance level according to the Resolutions of one of the Resolutions of the People's Councils of provinces and cities before implementing arrangement.
The Ministry of Home Affairs notes that it is not necessary to consolidate the contracted allowance fund level for each commune-level administrative unit into the contracted allowance fund of the new commune-level administrative unit to serve as a basis for re-regulating the allowance level for each title.
