Allowance coefficients increased for certain leadership positions

The government adjusts to increase leadership position allowance coefficients for several roles in state agencies, public service units, and military and police bodies.

Decree 07, effective from 10/1, increases leadership position allowance coefficients for several roles, revising previous regulations. The new decree also categorizes departments into Type 1 and Type 2, allowing for more precise allowance calculations based on their nature and management scale.

For instance, directors and deputy directors of Type 1 departments will receive an additional 0,1 allowance coefficient. Positions such as heads and deputy heads of boards, agencies, and departments, as well as commune-level chairpersons, are now differentiated by region: Hanoi, TP HCM, and other localities. This ensures allowance levels align with the reality of Vietnam's two largest cities, which have greater population density, broader administrative areas, and higher workloads.

Position allowances provide supplementary income for individuals in leadership, management, or executive roles, compensating them for increased responsibilities and workloads. This allowance applies to civil servants, public employees, and armed forces personnel. It is calculated by multiplying the current basic salary of 2,34 million VND by the applicable allowance coefficient.
