The decree will become effective from July 1.
The basic wage will be a basis for calculating salariesof employees in the State-run sector by multiplying it with their correspondingcoefficient. As a result, new graduates entering the State sector will get a salary of Level 1 with a coefficient of 2.34, equivalent to a monthlywage of 3.48 million VND at present.
This is the second base salary hike since July 1, 2019,after a three-year delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The wage hike is considered an urgent issue in Vietnam, as nearly40,000 civil servants quitted their jobs in the public sector, primarily ineducation and healthcare, from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2022./.
