Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said she has submitted to the Government a draft Decree on policies and regulations for officials, civil servants, and employees in the implementation of the organizational restructuring of the political system.
This document specifies policies regarding early retirement; policies for officials whose service time is extended; policies for resignation of officials and civil servants; and policies for resignation of public employees and workers (excluding public employees and workers in other public service units).
This is accompanied by policies encouraging officials and public employees to increase their work trips to grassroots levels; policies prioritizing the recruitment of individuals with outstanding qualities and abilities; and policies for training and developing the skills of officials and public employees after the restructuring.
The draft decree stipulates how to determine the time and salary for calculating entitlement to policies and benefits. Specifically, the period of early retirement used to calculate the number of months for receiving a lump-sum retirement allowance is calculated from the retirement date stated in the retirement decision to the prescribed retirement age, but not exceeding 60 months.
The period used to calculate severance pay is the period of employment with mandatory social insurance contributions, which is divided into two cases.
If the period of employment with mandatory social insurance contributions is 5 years or more, the maximum period for calculating severance pay is 5 years (60 months).
If the period of employment with mandatory social insurance contributions is less than 5 years, the period for calculating severance pay will be equal to the period of social insurance contributions.
The period for calculating benefits based on years of service with social insurance contributions is the total period of service with mandatory social insurance contributions (according to each person's social insurance book) but without having received severance pay, unemployment benefits, a lump-sum social insurance benefit, or demobilization/discharge benefits.
If the total time for calculating benefits includes odd months, it will be rounded up according to the principle that from 1 month to 6 months is counted as 0.5 years; from over 6 months to under 12 months is rounded up as 1 year.
The time used to calculate early retirement benefits, if there are odd months, will be rounded up according to the same principle. The date used as the basis for calculating the age to be eligible for retirement policies and benefits is the 1st day of the month immediately following the month of birth; if the birth date and month are not specified in the records, the 1st day of January of the birth year will be used.
The current monthly salary is the salary of the month immediately preceding the termination of employment, including: the salary based on rank, grade, position, title, professional title, or the salary as agreed upon in the labor contract, and any salary allowances as prescribed by law.
According to the draft decree, an individual who is eligible for multiple policies and benefits stipulated in different documents will only be entitled to the highest-level benefit.
The Ministry of Interior stated that an estimated 130 trillion VND is needed to implement the aforementioned policies and regulations, funded by the state budget and revenue from public service units. This includes 111 trillion VND for policies and benefits for officials; 4 trillion VND for policies and benefits for employees; 9 trillion VND for policies and benefits for commune-level officials and civil servants; 4 trillion VND for social insurance contributions; and 2 trillion VND for training and professional development.
"Implementing personnel downsizing will reduce recurrent expenditures and decrease funding from the state budget for social insurance, health insurance, and trade union fees for retired officials, civil servants, and public employees (22%); and 10% of the bonus fund," the Ministry of Interior stated.
According to the Ministry of Interior, the state budget has allocated funds to implement the policy of downsizing the workforce according to Decree No. 29/2023/ND-CP (currently included in the recurrent expenditure budget of agencies, organizations, and units) and other expenditures related to policies and regulations for officials and management leaders... Over the next five years, the state budget is expected to save approximately 113,000 billion VND.
The policies outlined apply to leading and managerial officials and civil servants, as well as professional and technical officials and civil servants; commune-level officials and civil servants; and those working under labor contracts as stipulated by labor laws before January 15, 2019.
Employees working under labor contracts are subject to the same policies as civil servants. These policies and regulations do not apply to those who have already announced their retirement according to regulations before the effective date of the competent authority's decision on organizational restructuring.
Officials who do not meet the age requirements for re-election or reappointment to positions and titles for fixed terms in Party, State, and socio-political organizations, as well as officials who voluntarily resign in accordance with other government decrees, are also not subject to these policies and regulations.
The draft decree stipulates that the funding for resolving policies and regulations for officials and civil servants; officials and civil servants at the commune level; and employees (excluding employees in public non-profit organizations) will be provided by the state budget.
For officials and employees in public service units that are self-financing for both recurrent and investment expenditures; and public service units that are self-financing for recurrent expenditures, the funds for resolving policy and benefit issues are taken from the unit's operational revenue and other legitimate sources.
For public non-profit organizations whose recurrent expenditures are partially covered by the state, the funds for addressing policies and regulations come from the unit's operational revenue, state budget allocations, and other legitimate sources.
The state budget will allocate funds to address policies and regulations based on the number of employees receiving salaries from the state budget, as assigned by the competent authority.
For public service units whose recurrent expenditures are guaranteed by the state, the funds for resolving policy and benefit issues are provided by the state budget. The state budget transfers a lump sum equivalent to the amount of social insurance contributions to the retirement and death benefit fund for the period during which officials, civil servants, and public employees retire early, within the time frame of 5 years until reaching the prescribed retirement age, without any reduction in their pension entitlement.
