Formula for calculating overtime pay for teachers according to regulations in Circular No. 07/2013/TTLT-BGDĐT-BNV-BTC guiding the implementation of overtime pay for teachers in public educational institutions

Some teachers in Hai Duong reported that they taught extra hours but were only paid a general rate of 150% lower than the prescribed salary/teaching hour.

Hai Duong Newspaper reporters spoke with a few teachers (name withheld) who are teaching at some primary and secondary schools in Tu Ky, Gia Loc, Nam Sach districts and Hai Duong city... and were confirmed to have done so. They were paid a general rate of about 70,000 VND/extra hour by the school (1 hour is about 35 - 45 minutes), and in some places it was lower.

According to Joint Circular No. 07/2013/TTLT-BGDĐT-BNV-BTC of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Home Affairs: Guidance on implementing the overtime pay regime for teachers in public educational institutions, overtime pay must ensure the principle of being based on salary level, current rank, grade and some other criteria.

The formula for calculating extra teaching fees is as follows: Salary for 1 hour of extra teaching = salary for 1 hour of teaching x 150%. According to this formula, for many teachers with seniority, the salary for 1 hour of extra teaching is much higher than 70,000 VND.

Speaking to reporters, some teachers said that the school board and teachers had agreed and committed in writing to deduct the teachers' overtime pay to spend on some common activities; to pay at a common rate to help young teachers not be disadvantaged because of the low overtime pay. However, many teachers said that this was not done democratically and transparently, teachers did not agree, but did not dare to express their opinions. Some teachers asked the Department of Education and Training to direct inspection and clarification so that the payment of overtime pay is carried out in accordance with regulations.
