Early salary increase according to new regulations of the Ministry of Construction
In December 2025, the Ministry of Construction issued regulations on early salary increase due to outstanding achievements in performing tasks.
The regulations of the Ministry of Construction stipulate the conditions, standards, principles of approval, application period and how to calculate the rate of cadres and civil servants entitled to this policy.
According to regulations, cadres and civil servants subject to the above conditions must fully meet all conditions throughout their salary period.
The person considered for not being ranked last in the rank or in the title, and at the same time, as of December 31 of the year, the salary increase is considered no more than 12 months before the remaining period to be regularly increased.
In addition, cadres and civil servants must have outstanding achievements in performing their tasks and be recognized by competent authorities in writing in the forms prescribed in the regulations.
Regarding standards, cadres and civil servants must be evaluated and classified by competent authorities as having completed their tasks or higher during their salary period. At the same time, the person being considered did not violate discipline with the forms of reprimand, warning or dismissal.
The regulations also clearly state the time and level of achievements as a basis for considering early salary increase. The achievements are determined according to the time of issuance of the recognition decision and must be achieved within the last 6 years for positions with a holding period to be considered for regular salary increase of 3 years, or within the last 4 years for positions with a holding period of 2 years, as of December 31 of the year of consideration. These achievements are arranged in order from high to low according to the appendix with the regulations.
In case the civil servant has been promoted in salary before the deadline due to excellent achievements, all achievements achieved before the date of the decision to increase the salary before the deadline, within 6 years or 4 years according to regulations, will not be counted for consideration for the next promotion.
Based on the achievement level, the time to increase the salary level ahead of schedule is also specifically determined. Cases that achieve one of the achievements with a high level according to the appendix attached to the regulations will be considered for salary increase 12 months before the salary increase period for regular salary increase consideration. In case of achieving a lower level as prescribed, the salary level will be considered for raising 6 months ahead of schedule.
In case there are many people with the same achievements, the consideration of early salary increase is carried out in order of priority. Those who have never been increased in salary before the deadline will be considered in advance. Next are those who have less than 10 years of service until the retirement date according to regulations, excluding the case of being able to increase the salary level ahead of schedule when there is a retirement announcement. The next priority criteria include cadres who do not hold leadership positions or hold lower leadership positions, war invalids, ethnic minorities, female workers, people with unreasonable salary developments and people with more working time at the Ministry's agencies.
The regulations also clearly stipulate how to calculate the number of people in the rate eligible for early salary increase. Accordingly, for every 10 people on the salary list of the unit, it is determined that one person will be promoted to the salary level ahead of schedule due to excellent achievements, not including a balance of less than 10 people.
Every year, in the fourth quarter, the Department of Organization and Personnel base on the number of people left behind under 10 people on the salary list, including agencies and units with less than 10 people, to advise on assigning additional targets for early salary increase beyond the determined rate.
This allocation prioritizes small-scale units and agencies and units that complete their work tasks well, while ensuring that the total number of people receiving salary increases before the deadline does not exceed the prescribed rate.
In case the salary increase target before the end of the year is not fully used, it will not be converted to the rate for the following years.
