Wage policy holds a pivotal position within the socio-economic policy framework, directly impacting crucial economic equilibrium, the labor market, and the livelihoods of wage earners. It plays a vital role in the pursuit of establishing an efficient and clean political system while curbing corruption and wastefulness. After increasing the base salary from July 1, 2023, the issue of salary reform in 2024 has received a lot of attention from officials, civil servants and public employees. So when will the 2024 salary reform be?
1. When is the start of the 2024 salary reform?
1.1 Background of Resolution 99/NQ-CP
Recently, on the afternoon of September 19, 2023, at the Vietnam Economic and Social Forum in 2023, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue emphasized the early implementation of basic salary reform in 2024.
Also according to National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, the salary reform can be applied as early as July 1, 2024 if nothing changes. Thus, the starting time of the 2024 salary reform roadmap will be implemented from July 1, 2024 if nothing changes.
Previously, our country had four wage reforms in 1960, 1985, 1993 and 2003. According to Resolution 27/NQ-TW of the Politburo in 2018, the wage reform roadmap must be associated with reform. administrative methods along with streamlining staff and innovating, reorganizing the apparatus of the political system, and innovating public service units.

1.2 Feature of the salary reform
Accordingly, the outstanding feature of the salary reform is to abolish the method of calculating the base salary and the salary coefficient as currently applied. Instead, new payrolls will be issued in specific amounts.
At the same time, reorganizing the salary allowance regimes ensures that the salary schedule for cadres, civil servants, public employees and the armed forces will be structured as follows:
-
Base salary (accounting for 70% of the total salary budget of these subjects) and other allowances (accounting for the remaining 30% of the total salary budget).
-
In addition, additional bonuses (accounting for about 10% of the year's total salary fund, excluding allowances).
In particular, when implementing salary reform, the new salary table, although based on a specific amount, ensures that the old salary is not lower than the current salary. The new salary table is not only based on a specific amount of money but also based on the person's job position, title and leadership position.
2. How is the 2024 salary reform roadmap prepared?
According to Resolution No. 144/NQ-CP dated September 10, 2023 on the regular meeting in August, the Government requested the Ministry of Home Affairs to preside and coordinate with localities and relevant agencies to complete the draft Report. Submit to the National Assembly a roadmap and plan for salary reform and then report to the Government before September 16, 2023.
And it is expected that by October 2023, at the 6th Session, the 15th National Assembly will present a roadmap for reforming salaries of cadres, civil servants and public employees in the spirit of Resolution 27 of 2018.
It can be seen that, compared to the expected roadmap of Resolution 27 of 2018 on salary reform, due to the impact of Covid-19, the salary reform roadmap has been delayed for many years. Specifically:
-
October 9, 2020: Postponing wage reform because of Covid-19 to July 1, 2022 according to Resolution No. 23/2021/QH15 on the 13th Party Central Committee Conference.
-
November 13, 2021: Continue to postpone salary reform until the appropriate time according to Resolution No. 34/2021/QH15.
-
October 11, 2022: Postpone salary reform and increase base salary in 2023 for officials, civil servants and public employees from 1.49 million VND/month to 1.8 million VND/month according to Decree No. 24/2023/ND-CP.
