Officials, civil servants, and employees who resign will receive additional support.

Quang Tri province has passed a resolution stipulating support policies for officials, civil servants, employees, and part-time workers at the commune level in implementing the reorganization of the administrative apparatus and units in the province.

Accordingly, officials, civil servants, and employees who retire early will receive an additional 0.55 months' current salary from the province for each year of service with social insurance contributions, up to a maximum of 200 million VND.

For officials, civil servants, and employees who resign, an additional 1.1 months' current salary will be provided for each year of service with social insurance contributions, with a minimum support amount of 6 months' current salary and a maximum of 200 million VND.

Leaders and managers who resign or are reassigned to lower positions due to organizational restructuring will receive a one-time severance payment equivalent to 10 months of basic salary. This resolution applies to those who resign before March 1st.

In addition, the Quang Tri Provincial People's Council also resolved and stipulated a support policy for officials and civil servants entitled to benefits and policies as prescribed in Decree 177/2024/ND-CP (not applicable to agencies and units under the vertical structure), who submitted applications for benefit and policy settlement before February 20, 2025.

Accordingly, in addition to the policies and regulations stipulated by the Government, each official and civil servant will receive a subsidy equivalent to 0.2 months of their current salary for each year of service with mandatory social insurance contributions, up to a maximum of 100 million VND.

Mr. Nguyen Dang Quang, Chairman of the Quang Tri Provincial People's Council, shared that this specific policy creates additional motivation for officials and civil servants to retire early, facilitating the restructuring and streamlining of the administrative apparatus.
