The
government will inspect many state-owned economic corporations’ obedience of
salary- and income-related legal regulations this year.
Deputy minister of Labour, Invalids and Social
Affairs (MoLISA) Pham Minh Huan said under the prime minister’s recent order,
the MoLISA would combine with relevant ministries to launch programmes on
inspecting a series of state-owned corporations and groups (CGs) like
PetroVietnam, Vinacomin and Vinatex in terms of their obedience of salary
regulations.
“This is to make their obedience more
transparent,” Huan said while trumpeting results of the MoLISA’s recent
inspection of Electricity of Vietnam’s (EVN) obedience of salary- and
income-related legal regulations.
The results of inspection, conducted from
December 18, 2011 to January over EVN’s parent company and its 25 subsidiaries
nationwide, shows that the giant power monopolist has made many big mistakes
regarding salary and income management since 2004.
“For example, salaries, incomes and allowances
for EVN staff are not suitable for many positions and sections in EVN and its
subsidiaries,” said Nguyen Tien Tung, vice head of the MoLISA’s Inspection
Department and head of the inspection team.
Specifically, the average salary for the
production and transmission sections is double that of the distribution
section. Meanwhile, the average salary for EVN’s headquarters staff was double
that of the group’s parent company.
“Meanwhile the group’s inspection and
management is quite lax,” Tung said.
The MoLISA also asked EVN to revise all of its
salary- and income-related mechanisms and policies.
Tung also noted that: “If EVN fails to correct
its mistakes, it will be heavily punished.”
The MoLISA reported the average salary of EVN
staff was nearly VND5.8 million ($280.1) in 2008, over VND7 million ($338.1) in
2009 and VND7.45 million ($359.9) in 2010. Meanwhile, the average income of EVN
staff was VND5.9 million ($285) in 2008, VND7.3 million ($352.6) in 2009 and
VND7.62 million ($368.1) in 2010.
The MoLISA said these figures were made based
on co-calculation by the MoLISA, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and State Audit
of Vietnam. Besides, the salary was determined depending on EVN’s commercial
power output, meaning that if the output increased, the salary also did the
same.
The salary calculation methods were stipulated
by the government, under which EVN’s parent company made its payroll sheet and
submitted it to the MoLISA and MoF for appraisal and approval. Meanwhile, EVN’s
subsidiaries made their own payroll sheets and then submitted them to the
parent company for approval.
