(Baonghean)On June 4, 2012, the Prime Minister signed Decision No. 25/2012/QD-TTg stipulating a number of preferential regimes for officers, professional soldiers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, defense civil servants and defense workers of the Vietnam Coast Guard.

Accordingly, officers, professional soldiers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, defense civil servants and defense workers of the Vietnam Coast Guard who directly participate in drills, training, and search and rescue at sea are entitled to a special allowance for going to sea at the rate of VND 150,000/person/actual day at sea.

Also according to this Decision, officers, professional soldiers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, defense civil servants and defense workers of the Vietnam Coast Guard who have worked for a long time on islands will receive a monthly allowance for long-term work on islands calculated according to a coefficient compared to the general minimum wage and the actual time working on remote islands.

Specifically, coast guard officers on duty on remote islands in Vietnam's seas for 5 to less than 10 years will receive an allowance of 0.2; officers on duty for 10 to less than 15 years will receive an allowance of 0.3, and officers on duty on remote islands for 15 years or more will receive an allowance of 0.4.

The working time to calculate the long-term working allowance on islands for the above subjects is the total actual working time on the islands, if there is any interruption, it is accumulated.

This Decision takes effect from August 1, 2012.
