According to new regulations of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, cadres, civil servants, public employees, employees and laborers in Ho Chi Minh City who achieve 70 to below 85 assessment points in the quarter are ranked at Level 3, enjoying 80% of the increased income expenditure according to regulations.

Specifically, Clause 1, Article 5, Regulations issued with Decision No. 78/2026/QD-UBND of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee stipulates that the results of quarterly quality assessment and classification from 70 to below 85 points are converted to Level 3.

According to Article 6 of the Regulation, people at Level 3 are entitled to 80% of the additional income expenditure according to regulations. People achieving 90 points or more at Level 1 are entitled to 100%; achieving 85 to less than 90 points at Level 2 are entitled to 90%. Cases achieving less than 70 points are at Level 4 and are not entitled to additional income.

Example of calculation method: If the level of additional income expenditure according to regulations applied to one person in the quarter is 10 million VND, people who achieve 70 to under 85 points will receive 8 million VND, equivalent to 80% of this expenditure level.

The level of 10 million VND in the example is a simulated number to illustrate the calculation method, not a common spending level applicable to all officials, civil servants, public employees and workers in Ho Chi Minh City. The actual amount must be based on the level of additional income expenditure according to regulations applied to each case.

In addition to the evaluation score, the ranking results may also be affected by special cases. According to Clause 3, Article 5, people who are written criticized by competent authorities due to subjective errors in performing duties and official duties will have their ranking level lowered for each time they are written criticized. Clause 2 of this Article stipulates that people who are disciplined, prosecuted, temporarily detained or temporarily detained pending the conclusion of competent authorities in the quarter are ranked at Level 4.

The conversion of classification levels to spend additional income is carried out quarterly based on the results of quality assessment and classification according to the regulations of competent authorities.
