 THE MINISTER OF LABOR

The situation mentioned above was examined and resolved at the Council of Ministers' Standing Committee meeting on February 20 and 21, 1963. Based on the Standing Committee's resolution, the Ministry of Labor provides guidance on resolving the wage issue for volunteer military personnel transferring to civilian sectors as follows:

For cases where, after two years, agencies and enterprises have removed the differential allowance, they will not be entitled to that differential allowance again but will only receive the classified wage level (and regional allowance if applicable).

1. For cases where the wage has been classified and the differential allowance has been received for two years, but the agency or enterprise has not yet removed the differential allowance, they will continue to receive it until the end of 1963.

2. For cases where more than nine months have passed without a wage classification, the agency or enterprise must classify the wage level; if the new wage is lower than 95% of the base salary or living expenses in the military, they will receive the classified wage plus a differential allowance to equal 95% of the base salary or living expenses in the military until the end of two years (counting from the date of transfer). If the two-year period ends before December 1963, they will also receive until the end of 1963; if the two-year period ends after December 1963, they will receive the differential allowance for the remaining time to complete the two-year period.

3. From now on, agencies and enterprises need to resolve the wage classification of volunteer military personnel transferring to civilian sectors strictly according to the provisions in Resolution No. 01-CP of the Council of Ministers, Circular No. 03-TT-LD of the Ministry of Labor and Interior, and this supplementary circular. In wage classification, they must base it on the standards set by the state for each type of worker and staff member, but at the same time, they must pay attention to the characteristics of volunteer military personnel transferring to civilian sectors to appropriately classify the levels. For example, for cases of volunteer military personnel transferring to civilian sectors, if their qualifications, abilities, and work results are deemed to be between the second and third levels of staff members, then classify them as the third level of staff members, etc...

To ensure the correct implementation of the treatment system for volunteer military personnel transferring to civilian sectors, agencies and enterprises need to make efforts to reasonably utilize these individuals, create all conditions to train and educate them quickly to adapt to the new job requirements.

Regarding the issue of wage classification, it is necessary to make the individuals clearly understand both sides, the efforts of the state and the relationship between them and other workers and staff members in the agency or enterprise, and should not compare themselves with the period when they were in the military with different benefits.

This is the ideological content that the Council of Ministers' Standing Committee raised in the aforementioned resolution for relevant departments and levels to pay attention to in implementing the policy towards volunteer military personnel transferring to civilian sectors.

That is the ideological work that the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers raised in the aforementioned resolution to be noted by all sectors and levels in the implementation of policies for voluntary military personnel transferring to other professions.
