Higher civil servant base salary approved

VGP – Since July 1, 2017, the monthly base salary for civil servants, public employees and those working in the armed forces will increase by 7% from VND 1.21 million (nearly US$ 54) to VND 3 million (US$ 58).

This is part of the PM’s Decision 2309/QD-TTg on State budget estimate for 2017.

The PM assigned ministries and ministerial-level agencies to arrange spending missions and strive for more budget collection to offset the higher base salary.

The new base salary will be used as the basis for calculating salary, allowances and other payments prescribed by law for the mentioned groups.

It will also be used for the calculation of operating expenses, living expenses as prescribed by law as well as the calculation of deductions and entitlements./.
