Decree 170/2025/ND-CP stipulates that the head of the civil servant management agency or the civil servant employing agency with decentralized recruitment authority decides to terminate or authorizes the decision to terminate the employment of civil servants.

The Decree also specifically stipulates the procedures for resolving termination of employment in cases where civil servants voluntarily resign and in cases where civil servants are dismissed.

Civil servants who voluntarily resign are entitled to severance pay as follows: 3 months of current salary; 1.5 months of current salary for each year of work with compulsory social insurance; the period of compulsory social insurance payment is reserved or one-time social insurance is received according to the provisions of the law on social insurance.
