Ministry of Home Affairs guides on 0.3 coefficient allowance for Head of Emergency Department

Ms. Le Minh (name of the character changed) said that she is an official working at a grade II public hospital. Currently, the unit has not agreed on the application of the allowance regime for the Head of the Emergency Department.

According to her, the Head of the Emergency Department has received a leadership position allowance according to the appointed title specified in Decree No. 204/2004/ND-CP.

In addition to management duties, this person still directly participates in professional work, regularly on emergency duty at the Emergency Resuscitation Department and meets the conditions according to Section II of Circular No. 05/2005/TT-BNV dated May 5, 2005 of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

However, in Section I of Circular No. 05/2005/TT-BNV, the subjects entitled to work responsibility allowance are specified as cadres, civil servants, public employees due to the nature and characteristics of the profession or job that requires high responsibility; or undertaking management work but not belonging to leadership titles due to election and appointment and not belonging to the subjects entitled to leadership position allowance.

Therefore, the financial - accounting department of the unit is concerned about the regulations on exclusion for people who are receiving leadership position allowances. Due to concerns that the expense may be deducted, the hospital has not paid the work responsibility allowance to the Head of the Emergency Department.

From the above reality, Ms. Le Minh requested functional agencies to guide: In case a public employee holds the position of Head of the Emergency Department at a public hospital, both performing management tasks and directly doing professional work at the emergency department, are they entitled to both leadership position allowance and work responsibility allowance with a coefficient of 0.3?

Regarding Ms. Minh's reflection and recommendation, the Ministry of Home Affairs has responded at the Electronic Information Portal.

Subjects of application of work responsibility allowances are specified in Section I of Circular No. 05/2005/TT-BNV dated January 5, 2005 guiding the implementation of the work responsibility allowance regime for cadres, civil servants, and public employees.

According to current legal regulations, the organization of policy implementation for cadres, civil servants, and public employees in provinces and centrally-run cities (provincial level) is under the authority of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.

Accordingly, the Ministry requests you to contact the direct management agency or the agency managing cadres, civil servants, and public employees of the province (Thanh Hoa Department of Home Affairs) to consider, answer or report to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and decision.
