Khanh Hoa proposes to increase allowances for village and residential group officials

On June 17, the Department of Home Affairs of Khanh Hoa province said that the unit had just completed the drafting of opinions on the Resolution stipulating the level of allowances, concurrent positions, the level of allowances for concurrent positions of non-specialized personnel in villages and residential groups; the number, titles, levels of support and the level of allowances for concurrent positions participating in activities in villages and residential groups in the area.

The development of the new resolution was implemented after Decree No. 185/2026/ND-CP of the Government took effect from May 26, 2026 and abolished regulations related to non-specialized personnel in villages and residential groups in the past.

After implementing the arrangement of provincial-level administrative units, Khanh Hoa still applies two resolutions on the allowance regime of Khanh Hoa province (old) and Ninh Thuan province (old) in parallel. This leads to differences in the level of payment and the arrangement of positions in the same new administrative area.

According to the Department of Home Affairs, the current regulations built on a legal basis have expired and are no longer consistent with the new allowance fund mechanism under Decree No. 185/2026/ND-CP.

Therefore, the issuance of a unified resolution applied throughout the province is an urgent requirement. In which, the draft proposes to use local budgets to increase the base salary level by 1 time into the allowance fund for non-specialized staff in villages and residential groups.

For villages with 700 or more households, residential groups with 1,000 or more households or belonging to key national defense areas, border areas, islands, and extremely difficult areas, the monthly allowance fund is proposed to be 9 times the base salary level.

In which, the Party Cell Secretary receives an allowance equivalent to 3.1 times the basic salary level; Village Head or Neighborhood Group Leader receives 3 times the basic salary level; Head of the Fatherland Front Work Committee receives 2.9 times the basic salary level.

For the remaining villages and residential groups, the monthly allowance fund is proposed to be 7.5 times the base salary.

The allocation level includes: Party Secretary 2.6 times the base salary level; Village Head or Neighborhood Group Head 2.5 times the base salary level; Head of Fatherland Front Work Committee 2.4 times the base salary level.

In addition to the above titles, the draft also proposes monthly support for titles participating in activities in villages and residential groups from local budget sources.

Accordingly, each village and residential group is arranged with a maximum of 6 people participating in activities including: Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell, Deputy Village Head or Deputy Head of the residential group, Head of the Women's Union, Head of the Farmers' Union, Head of the Veterans Association, Secretary of the Youth Union.

Among these, Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell and Deputy Village Head or Deputy Head of the residential group are proposed to be supported with 1 basis salary per month. The remaining positions are supported with 0.7 basis salary per month.
