Hanoi has approved a plan to allocate VND 3.8 trillion ($150 million) annually to increase the income of civil servants, public officials, and employees working in state agencies and socio-political organizations.

On the afternoon of December 10, the Hanoi People’s Council passed a resolution introducing additional income provisions for these groups. The funds for these increases will be sourced from the city's wage reform savings.

The additional income is calculated at 0.8 times the basic salary fund. Payments will be distributed based on monthly performance evaluations, aligning with existing assessment and classification standards.

Hanoi’s approach includes two payment methods:

1.     Monthly Income Boost: 0.5 times the basic salary fund will be allocated monthly to all eligible employees based on their current salary scale and rank.

2.     Year-End Bonus: 0.3 times the basic salary fund will be allocated as an annual bonus for employees evaluated as meeting or exceeding performance expectations.
These additional income payments will be included with monthly salaries following the completion of evaluations.

The city plans to allocate over VND 3.8 trillion annually to provide these benefits to more than 40,000 public employees. The surplus funds from wage reform will ensure the program’s feasibility from 2025 to 2030.

Payments are designed to motivate civil servants and public employees, rewarding performance and enhancing efficiency in public administration. Hanoi’s commitment reflects its investment in human resources as a vital part of its governance strategy.
