Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra, Deputy Head of the Government's Steering Committee on the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the development of a two-level local government organization model, has just signed and issued Official Dispatch No. 11/CV-BCĐ.

This document provides specific guidance on the new commune-level civil servant title standards and orientations for personnel arrangement and assignment in the process of streamlining and merging administrative units, in order to ensure that the staff has sufficient qualities and capacity to effectively carry out the local political tasks.

The three core principles emphasized are:

1. Closely follow the Central's direction.

2. Carefully review the current team to arrange suitable job positions.

3. Linking organizational reform with improving the quality of public service.

For commune-level officials (Party Secretary and Deputy Secretary; Chairman of People's Council and People's Committee; Vice Chairman of People's Council and People's Committee): Implement the Conclusions and instructions of the Politburo , Secretariat and Central Organizing Committee on personnel plans when arranging the organization and administrative units.

For commune-level civil servants (including: Civil servants holding the positions of Head of Department and equivalent, Deputy Head of Department and equivalent, and professional and technical civil servants), it is necessary to meet general standards on political ideology and ethical qualities, and training level.

In addition to meeting the above general standards, leading and managerial civil servants (Head of Department and equivalent, Deputy Head of Department and equivalent of People's Council and People's Committee at commune level) must also meet specific standards on political theory.

In case of being in the process of completing the political theory standards as prescribed in Decree 29/2024/ND-CP or Decree 33/2023/ND-CP, they will be considered to meet the political theory standards for appointment.

According to the guidance of the Steering Committee, elected or recruited commune-level cadres and civil servants and their salaries are arranged according to their training level as administrative civil servants prescribed in Decree No. 33/2023/ND-CP. If they meet the above general standards and conditions, they will be assigned to the new commune-level civil servant job position and classified as administrative civil servants at the current salary level and coefficient, without having to carry out procedures for admission to work as civil servants.

In case commune-level cadres and civil servants are being sent by competent authorities for university-level training to meet the requirements of the job position they are undertaking, the civil servant management agency shall consider and arrange them to a new suitable job position at the commune level; at the same time, they shall continue to participate in training until graduation in accordance with regulations.

For commune-level civil servants who are ethnic minorities or work in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions and have not yet achieved university qualifications, their capacity, credibility, and practical experience must be considered to arrange suitable jobs; at the same time, they must have their university qualifications standardized within 5 years from the establishment of a new commune-level administrative unit.

The Government Steering Committee also noted a number of other contents. Specifically, the transfer of provincial and district-level officials to work as civil servants at the new commune level according to the arrangement project approved by the competent authority does not have to carry out the procedures for receiving them as civil servants.

Current provincial and district-level officials, civil servants and public employees and commune-level officials who are assigned to work as civil servants at the new commune level will continue to receive salaries according to their current ranks, grades and allowances for a period of 6 months; after that, they will be implemented according to the new regulations of the Government.

In case civil servants and professional and technical officials are appointed to leadership and management positions at the new commune level, the leadership position allowance will not be temporarily applied until there are regulations of the Government.

In addition, policies on rank transfer, salary arrangement, early retirement, voluntary resignation... are required to be implemented promptly, ensuring harmony and stability in the staff's psychology, creating consensus within the team.

The Steering Committee recommends that the Standing Committees of provincial and municipal Party Committees directly under the Central Government, based on relevant Central regulations and instructions in this document, proactively study and review the standards, conditions and plans for arranging new commune-level personnel to ensure appropriateness, balance and harmony between provincial and district-level cadres and civil servants and current commune-level cadres and civil servants to meet the requirements of the political tasks of the new commune-level administrative units.

The provincial People's Committee directs relevant agencies to implement the arrangement of new commune-level personnel according to the plan approved by competent authorities; promptly implement policies and regimes for cases of voluntary early retirement, resignation or failure to meet the standards and conditions to be arranged as new commune-level civil servants.

The assignment and arrangement of cadres and civil servants at the commune level must be strict, thorough, democratic, objective, transparent, fair, impartial, and in accordance with the Party's principles and regulations; political and ideological work must be done well, creating high solidarity and unity among cadres and civil servants; at the same time, measures must be taken to handle or promptly detect and propose to competent authorities to direct and handle related issues arising in practice. Any arising problems must be promptly reported to the Ministry of Home Affairs for synthesis and submission to competent authorities for consideration.
