Salary and allowance regime for civil servant contractants

Mr. Duong Van Quoc (character's name has been changed) said that he is currently a specialist of the Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Department under the Ward People's Committee, working under a labor contract regime to perform civil servant duties according to Decree No. 173/2025/ND-CP dated June 30, 2025 of the Government.

According to Mr. Quoc, up to now, there has not been any circular or legal document specifically regulating the allowance and bonus regime for people working under labor contracts performing civil service tasks according to Decree No. 173/2025/ND-CP.

Meanwhile, this decree only clearly stipulates the group of contract workers according to Decree No. 111/2022/ND-CP.

From the above reality, Mr. Quoc suggested that the competent authority soon issue legal documents clearly stipulating the salary, allowance and bonus regime for people working under labor contracts performing civil servant duties according to Decree No. 173/2025/ND-CP, in order to ensure rights and unity in the implementation process.

Regarding Mr. Quoc's reflection and recommendation, the Ministry of Home Affairs responded on the Electronic Information Portal.

Clause 2, Article 10 of Decree No. 173/2025/ND-CP dated June 30, 2025 of the Government stipulates that individuals signing contracts (employees) clearly state:
