II. TRADE UNION ALLOWANCE BENEFIT OF GRASSROOTSTRADE UNION OFFICIALS
1. Principle:
1.1. The level of allowance for grassroots trade union official is determined based on the number of employee of organization.
1.2. Allowance for grassroots trade union official = (Allowance coefficient) x (Minimum salary of which the grassroots trade union is collecting the trade union fees).
1.3. Fund for allowance payment
The grassroots trade union may use a maximum of 30% of amount collected from trade union fees and trade union dues (the portion may be used by the grassroots trade union) for payment of salary, allowance for full-time trade union officials and grassroots trade union officials. Where such fund cannot be used up, it will become additional expenditure on movement activities. For the grassroots trade union supported with profession and fund for expenditure on allowance for trade union officials, the use of such fund will be decided by the grassroots trade union;
The grassroots trade union will depend on the fund capacity used and actual needs of units whose subjects, level and time of expenditure (month, quarter and year) on allowance for trade union officials are adjusted consistently, but the part-time allowance does not exceed the coefficient 0.7 and coefficient 0.3 for the responsibility allowance.
1.4. At the grassroots trade union, the trade union officials are only entitled to 01 level of part-time allowance or highest responsibility allowance.
1.5. For the grassroots trade union at enterprises having great amount of expenditure and revenue of trade union budget, the application of level of expenditure on responsibility allowance for grassroots trade union accounting under this regulation is not conformable. The Executive Committee of the trade union will review and make a decision on the level of part-time allowance of accountant the same as that of the Vice President of grassroots trade union, or sign accounting contract in accordance with the Accounting Law. The signing of contract and level of payment for accountant must be approved by the superior trade union directly in writing.
