Salary reform from July 1, 2024: Who gets to keep seniority allowance?

Pursuant to Resolution 104/2023/QH15, from July 1, 2024, comprehensive reform of salary policy will be implemented according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW of 2018 of the 7th Conference of the 12th Central Executive Committee (Funding sources for implementation are guaranteed from the accumulated salary reform source of the central budget, local budgets and a part arranged in the state budget balance expenditure estimate); adjusting pensions, social insurance benefits, monthly allowances, preferential allowances for meritorious people and a number of social security policies currently linked to the basic salary.

According to Resolution 27-NQ/TW in 2018, the current allowance regimes will be rearranged, ensuring that the total allowance fund accounts for a maximum of 30% of the total salary fund as follows:

- Continue to apply concurrent allowances; seniority allowances exceeding the framework; regional allowances; job responsibility allowances; mobility allowances; security and defense service allowances and special allowances for armed forces (army, police, and cryptography).

- Merge occupational allowances, occupational responsibility allowances and hazardous and hazardous allowances (collectively referred to as occupational allowances) applied to civil servants and public employees of occupations and jobs with higher than normal working conditions and with appropriate preferential policies of the State (education and training, health, courts, prosecution, civil enforcement, inspection, examination, auditing, customs, forestry, market management, etc.). Merge special allowances, attraction allowances and long-term work allowances in areas with particularly difficult socio -economic conditions into work allowances in particularly difficult areas.

- Abolish seniority allowances (except for the military, police, and cryptography to ensure salary correlation with cadres and civil servants); leadership position allowances (due to salary ranking for leadership positions in the political system); allowances for party work and political-social organizations; public service allowances (due to being included in the basic salary); toxic and dangerous allowances (due to including working conditions with toxic and dangerous factors in occupational allowances).

- New regulations on allowance regime according to administrative unit classification for commune, district and provincial levels.

- Consistently allocate monthly allowances to non-professional workers at the commune, village and residential group levels based on the regular expenditure ratio of the People's Committee at the commune level; at the same time, stipulate the maximum number of non-professional workers at each type of commune, village and residential group level. On that basis, the People's Committee at the commune level shall submit to the People's Council at the same level for specific regulations on positions eligible for allowances in the direction that one position can undertake many tasks but must ensure the quality and effectiveness of the assigned work.

Thus, there will be 3 subjects that will be able to keep seniority allowance when reforming salary from July 1, 2024 to ensure salary correlation with cadres and civil servants, including:

- Army.

- Police.

- Key
