The Ministry of Home Affairs has sent a draft decree on the decentralization and devolution of state management tasks in the field of home affairs to the Ministry of Justice for appraisal.
According to the proposal by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the draft decree stipulates the decentralization and determination of state management tasks in the field of home affairs, including: local government; labor, wages, and social insurance; employment, occupational safety and health; Vietnamese laborers working abroad under contracts; associations, social funds, charitable organizations, and non-governmental organizations; war veterans; gender equality; and state archival and documentation work.
Notably, regarding the task of prescribing regional minimum wages for laborers working under labor contracts from July 1, 2025, the draft decree promulgates an appendix listing the communes (remaining unchanged or newly formed after July 1, 2025) to which the four regional minimum wage levels stipulated in the Government’s Decree No. 74/2024 will apply.
Accordingly, the list of regions will be adjusted according to the new list of communal and provincial administrative units after rearrangement.
Currently, the Government prescribes minimum wages for laborers working under labor contracts according to Decree No. 74/2024, which has been in effect since July 1, 2024.
The regional minimum monthly wages are as follows: Region I – VND 4,960,000; Region II – VND 4,410,000; Region III – VND 3,860,000; and Region IV – VND 3,450,000.
The regional minimum hourly wages are: Region I – VND 23,800; Region II – VND 21,200; Region III – VND 18,600; and Region IV – VND 16,600.
The list of communal administrative units applying the regional minimum wages will clearly identify the new communal administrative units and the respective regions they belong to, serving as a basis for determining the applicable minimum wage levels.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has requested the Government to issue the decree in June and for it to take effect from July 1, in alignment with the Government and Prime Minister’s directions, and to implement the two-level local government model.
