Article 4 of Decree 73/2024/ND-CP Regulating the base salary and bonus regime for cadres, civil servants, public employees and armed forces, stipulates the bonus regime as follows:

1. Implement the bonus regime based on outstanding work achievements and the results of evaluating and ranking the level of task completion annually for the subjects specified in Clause 2, Article 2 of this Decree.

2. The bonus regime specified in Clause 1 of this Article is used for unexpected bonuses based on work achievements and periodic annual bonuses based on the results of evaluating and ranking the level of work completion of each salaried person in the agency or unit. Heads of armed forces units according to the regulations of the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Public Security; heads of competent agencies managing or decentralized agencies managing cadres and civil servants and heads of public non-business units are responsible for developing specific Regulations to implement the bonus regime applied to subjects on the salary payroll of agencies and units; send them to directly superior management agencies for management, inspection and public implementation in agencies and units.

3. The bonus regulations of agencies and units specified in Clause 2 of this Article must include the following contents:

a) Scope and subjects of application;

b) Bonus criteria according to outstanding work achievements and according to the results of evaluating and ranking the level of annual task completion of salaried people in agencies and units;

c) The specific bonus level for each case, not necessarily associated with the salary level according to the salary coefficient of each person;

d) Bonus consideration process and procedures;

e) Other regulations according to the management requirements of agencies and units (if necessary).

4. The annual bonus fund specified in this Article is outside the commendation fund according to the provisions of the Law on Emulation and Commendation, which is determined to be equal to 10% of the total salary fund (excluding allowances) according to positions, titles, ranks, ranks and military ranks of subjects in the payroll of agencies and units.

By the end of January 31 of the following year, if the agency or unit does not use up the bonus fund of the year, it is not allowed to transfer the source to the bonus fund of the following year.

Thus, whether teachers who retire from maternity benefits are entitled to bonuses according to Decree 73/2024/ND-CP or not depends on the specific regulations to implement the school's bonus regime.
