Principle for time calculation. On the basis of the occupations or work included in the List issued together with the Decisions of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the time calculation shall be applied as follows: a- The time a person has spent on performing an occupation or a work of category V or category VI shall be calculated as the time spent on performing extra-heavy, harmful, hazardous occupations or work; b- The time a person has spent on performing an occupation or a work of category IV shall be calculated as the time spent on performing a heavy, harmful, hazardous occupation or work; 2. Method of calculating time for persons who have spent a period of time performing extra-heavy, harmful, hazardous occupations or work and heavy, harmful, hazardous occupations or work prior to the effective date of this Circular. a/ For persons who have been engaged in occupations or work which were formerly (prior to the effective date of this Circular) put in category IV, and now remain in category IV under the new List of Occupations, the time shall be calculated according to category IV from the date they began performing such occupations or work. For example: A person has since 1960 performed an occupation which wad formerly in category IV and now remains in category IV under the new List of Occupations; his/her time of being engaged in the heavy, harmful, hazardous occupation shall be calculated from 1960 up to now. b/ For persons who have been in occupations or work which were formerly in category V and are now in category V or category VI under the new List of Occupations, their duration shall be calculated according to category V or VI from the date they began performing such occupations or work. For example: A person has since 1970 been engaged in an occupation which was formerly in category V and now remains in category V under the new List of Occupations, his/her time of performing the extra-heavy occupation shall be calculated from 1970 up to now. c/ For a person who has been engaged in the same occupation or work, which was formerly not categorized but is now put in category IV or higher category, the time he/she has been engaged in such occupation or work shall be calculated according to category IV or higher category from the date he/she began performing such occupation or work. For example: A person who has since 1992 worked as a brick layer in Truong Sa (the Spratley archipelagos) and his/her job was formerly not categorized, which is now put in category IV, his/her duration of performing such occupation shall be calculated from 1992 up to now according to category IV. d/ For persons who have been engaged in occupations or work which were in lower categories and now put in higher categories under the new List of Occupations, their duration shall be calculated according to the higher categories from the date began performing such occupations or work. For example: A person has since 1972 been engaged in installing and repairing underground communication cable, which was formerly put in category IV but is now put in category V under Decision No.1453/LDTBXH-QD of October 13, 1995, his/her time for performing such occupation shall be calculated from 1972 up to now according to category V. e/ For persons who have been engaged in occupations or work which were formerly put in higher categories, but are now in lower categories under the new List of Occupations, their duration of being engaged in such occupations or work shall be calculated according to the previous higher categories from the time they began performing such occupations or work up to now and according to the new lower categories from now on. For example: An armyman has since 1980 worked as petroleum store-keeper. The period from 1980 up to now shall be calculated according to category V under the provisions in the appendix attached to inter-ministerial Circular No.313/TT-LB of March 3, 194 of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Finance. The period from now on shall be calculated according to category IV under the List of Occupations issued together with Decision No.1085/LDTBXH-QD of September 6, 1996 of the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs. The time calculation method applicable to such armymen is as follows: - The period from 1980 up to now shall be calculated according to category V (extra-heavy, -harmful and -hazardous occupations); - The period from now on shall be calculated under category IV (heavy, harmful, hazardous occupations).
