Extra teaching is quite popular nowadays and there have been many regulations issued around this issue. Among them, there are regulations on how to calculate overtime teaching wages for all levels of education to ensure transparency and publicity.

Overtime pay

Clause 1, Article 4 of Joint Circular 7/2013 of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Finance clearly stipulates the formula for calculating salary for extra teaching hours for preschool, general education, vocational secondary school and vocational school teachers.

Specifically, teachers' overtime pay is calculated according to the following formula:

Of which, the number of weeks for teaching for primary school teachers is 35 weeks, for secondary and high school teachers is 37 weeks.

The time for calculating overtime pay in the school year is from July of the previous year to the end of June of the following year. This is to ensure that all overtime hours in the school year are calculated and paid on time. At the same time, the salary for 1 hour of teaching is only used as a basis for calculating the teacher's overtime pay and is not used to calculate the teacher's monthly salary.

Factors affecting the calculation of tutoring fees

The actual number of extra teaching hours that a teacher performs in a month or a year will be the main basis for calculating the extra teaching salary. These hours need to be recorded accurately and completely to ensure correct payment.

The basic salary of a teacher is the basis for calculating the salary for extra teaching. This salary includes the salary according to the current grade and level, directly affecting the amount of money that the teacher receives when working overtime. The higher the basic salary, the higher the salary for extra teaching.

In addition, the effectiveness of tutoring is also considered, through the evaluation of students and parents. If the tutoring results in significant progress for students and receives positive feedback, teachers can be given additional bonuses or considered for an increase in tutoring salary.

Teachers’ education, qualifications and professional certifications are also important factors in calculating tutoring wages. Teachers with higher qualifications, such as master’s degrees, doctorates or advanced training certificates, often receive higher salaries and this also applies when calculating tutoring wages.

In addition to the basic salary, allowances such as seniority allowance and position allowance also play an important role in calculating the salary for tutoring. These allowances are added to the basic salary to calculate the total income of the teacher, thereby determining the corresponding salary for tutoring.
