The Ministry of Home Affairs is finalizing a draft Decree to replace Decree No. 29/2023 of the Government regulating staff streamlining.
Accordingly, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed the name of the draft Decree as the Decree regulating staffing policies.
Regarding the way to determine salary to calculate staff reduction allowance, according to the content of the draft Decree, the way to determine the average monthly salary to calculate staff reduction allowance levels prescribed in Decree No. 29/2023/ND-CP on the basis of inheriting Government regulations (including Decree No. 132/2007/ND-CP dated August 8, 2017, Decree No. 108/2014/ND-CP dated November 20, 2014; Decree No. 113/2018ND-CP dated August 31, 2018, Decree No. 143/2020/ND-CP dated December 10, 2020) has been implemented for nearly 20 years.
Accordingly, when drafting Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed that monthly salary be calculated to enjoy policies and regimes as the salary of the month immediately before cadres, civil servants and public employees quit their jobs.
Therefore, to ensure a general correlation of the staff reduction policy in this Decree with Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP (amended and supplemented in Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP), the draft Decree proposes that monthly salary to calculate the staff reduction allowance for cadres, civil servants and public employees is the current monthly salary.
On that basis, the drafting agency proposed regulations on how to calculate the average monthly salary and replace the phrase "average salary" with "current salary" in the entire draft Decree.
