No termination of contract if the employee meets other job requirements

On the morning of November 13, the National Assembly discussed in the hall the draft Law on Civil Servants (amended) .

National Assembly Delegate Nguyen Hoang Bao Tran (Ho Chi Minh City Delegation) said that in reality, when merging organizations, many officials, although completing their tasks well, fall into a state of "mechanical redundancy", not because of weakness, but because the organization no longer has corresponding positions.

Delegates recommended that in case of redundant civil servants due to administrative unit (DVHC) rearrangement or public service unit reorganization, the management agency is responsible for arranging, seconding or introducing civil servants to units suitable for their expertise and capacity. Contracts should not be terminated if civil servants still meet the requirements of other job positions.

This is not only humane but also avoids wasting resources, because in addition to their professional training, civil servants are also trained and nurtured in many other skills from public financial resources. Now, at the age of 35-50, they are at the stage of maturity in terms of experience and courage. They need to continue to contribute instead of becoming unemployed unintentionally.

Delegates also proposed that civil servants who quit their jobs due to organizational reorganization or merger of public service units be entitled to a one-time allowance of at least 12 months' salary, and be given priority in job referrals in the public system or transitional areas.

"This is a necessary policy to ensure social stability and reduce unemployment pressure, especially for middle-aged officials who have to take care of their families and children's education," said the female delegate.

Regarding Article 25 regulating quality classification and use of evaluation results, delegates proposed to add a regulation that in the first year after the unit's rearrangement and reorganization, the results of civil servant evaluations need to consider factors such as changes in the working environment, and not classify "not completing tasks" if the objective cause is due to the organization.

Proposal to prohibit management officials from participating in the management of private facilities in the same field

Delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga (Hai Phong Delegation) cited point b, clause 1, Article 13, which allows civil servants to contribute capital and participate in the management and operation of enterprises, cooperatives, hospitals, educational institutions, and non-public scientific research organizations.

Along with expanding this right, delegates said it is necessary to tighten regulations on control mechanisms and anti-corruption.

Because this regulation may potentially contain some risks such as conflicts of interest between positions in the public sector and the private sector, especially when the civil servant is the manager of both public and non-public units operating in the same field. This leads to the abuse of positions in the public sector to benefit the unit they manage in the private sector.

Therefore, there should be regulations not allowing management officials to participate in the management and operation of private businesses and activities in the same field in which they are working.

Prescribe the mechanism for declaration, transparency, supervision and accountability of capital contribution and management participation of officials in the private sector, especially for management officials.
