Resolutely resolve policies and regimes for people affected by the rearrangement

The recent streamlining of the organizational apparatus at all levels has resulted in a large number of redundant cadres, civil servants, public employees and part-time workers.

Up to now, implementing Official Dispatch No. 59-CV/BCĐ dated September 12, 2025 of the Central Steering Committee summarizing Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW on the arrangement of public service units, state-owned enterprises and focal points within agencies and organizations in the political system, the number of redundant people will continue to increase.

This is putting great financial pressure on paying for the policies, while feedback from some localities shows that current policies are also incomplete or inconsistent, causing difficulties in the implementation process.

The Department of Local Government ( Ministry of Home Affairs ) said that currently, a number of cadres and civil servants with less than 15 years of work experience are not subject to Decree No. 178/2025/ND-CP, but if regulations on termination of employment and staff streamlining are applied, the regime and policies will be different, causing disadvantages for those who want to retire early to change jobs.

For the non-professional staff at the commune level, some localities have difficulty arranging for them to continue working until May 31, 2026 according to the direction of the Central Government, because Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP stipulates that non-professional staff are only entitled to the streamlining policy if they retire immediately, while Official Dispatch No. 12/CV-BCĐ dated June 20, 2025 guiding some contents for non-professional staff at the commune level when implementing the 2-level local government model allows localities to continue arranging work until May 31, 2026; this contradiction makes it difficult for localities to determine the time to apply the policy, affecting the rights and psychology of workers.

Currently, many localities lack funds to pay for retirement and resignation of people who have decided to retire, so they have not yet received the policy money. At a recent meeting on the implementation and operation of the new 2-level local government model, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh asked the Ministry of Finance to clarify why so many people have not yet received the regime under Decree 178. The relevant ministries must have instructions, not allowing localities to reflect that they do not have money and do not have instructions to resolve the regime and policies under Decree 178, because the conclusion of the Politburo clearly states that this must be resolved before August 31, 2025.

An important content that has also received many recommendations is that in many localities, there is difficulty in determining the agency that implements the payment of regimes and policies according to Decree No. 76/2019/ND-CP dated October 8, 2019 of the Government on regimes and policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers and armed forces working in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions when there is currently no longer a district-level government or the agency before transferring work has left the area with particularly difficult conditions due to dissolution or merger but in fact they are still working in those difficult areas.

Many officials working in some localities reflect: Some current guidelines only allow the retention of position allowances and current salaries, without clearly mentioning industry allowances, incentives, responsibilities, attractions, etc., leading to inconsistency in implementation.

Lang Son Provincial Department of Home Affairs said that Clause 4, Article 11 of Resolution No. 76/2025/UBTVQH15 dated April 14, 2025 of the National Assembly Standing Committee on administrative unit arrangement in 2025 stipulates: Maintain the current salary regime, policies and position allowances (if any) of cadres, civil servants and public employees affected by the administrative unit arrangement but still cadres, civil servants and public employees at agencies and organizations in the political system for a period of 6 months from the date of the work arrangement document. After this period, the regime, policies and position allowances shall be implemented according to the provisions of law.

However, the above general regulations when applied in practice still have problems, such as: In case cadres and civil servants working at party agencies are mobilized and arranged to work at agencies under the People's Committees at the commune level after the arrangement, are they entitled to 30% of the party allowance? When implementing the arrangement of many commune-level administrative units into a new commune administrative unit and the new commune headquarters is located in region 1, are cadres and civil servants working at communes in region 3 previously entitled to enjoy the policy according to Decree 76/2019/ND-CP?

Urgently resolving policies and paying benefits to those affected by the current organizational restructuring is especially important, not only to solve the complex problem of human resource management but also to contribute to stabilizing the psychology, ideology, and life of those who stay behind; helping those who retire early and those who quit their jobs early have capital to start a business, change jobs, and careers to continue contributing to the stability and development of the socio-economy; thereby also creating more motivation to encourage and motivate those who are limited in age and capacity to proactively make way for the young team with more outstanding qualities and capacity in the upcoming rounds of streamlining the apparatus and streamlining the payroll.
