Factors for determining regional allowances for civil servants and public employees
Regional allowances for civil servants and public employees are determined based on many factors according to regulations.
Clause 1, Section II of Joint Circular 11/2005/TTLTBNV-BLDTBXH-BTC-UBDT stipulates the principles for determining regional allowances as follows:
- Factors determining regional allowances:
Natural geological factors such as: bad climate, manifested at a level of extreme temperature, humidity, altitude, air pressure, wind speed, ... higher or lower than normal, affecting human health;
Far away, remote ( sparsely populated, far from cultural, political, economic centers, far from the mainland...), roads, bridges, schools, medical facilities, and low commercial services, difficult travel, affecting the material and spiritual life of people.
In addition, when determining regional allowances, it is possible to consider adding factors such as special difficulties, borders, islands, and mud.
In addition, according to regulations, regional allowances are mainly regulated according to the administrative boundaries of communes, wards, and special zones. Agencies and units located in each commune will receive the regional allowance of that commune. Some special cases are located far from the people or bordering many communes and are considered to regulate the allowance level for separate areas.
When the factors used to determine regional or commune allowances change (division, merger, new establishment, etc.), regional allowances are determined or adjusted accordingly.
