Youme Law Firm LLC said that according to Clause 5, Decision 759/QD-TTg in 2025, the staffing of commune-level cadres, civil servants and public employees is regulated as follows:
Due to the larger scale of commune-level administrative units (ADUs) than at present and the increased tasks and powers of local authorities at the commune level (performing all the tasks and powers of local authorities at the district and commune levels). Accordingly, the Government plans to pay staff to commune-level cadres, civil servants and public employees according to the following orientation:
- In the immediate future, the number of staff, public servants and officials of the district and cadres and civil servants of the existing commune level before the arrangement to arrange the new commune -level units (after arrangement). Carry out the review and streamlining of payroll associated with restructuring and improving the quality of cadres, civil servants and officials at the commune level to meet the task requirements and ensure that within the basic 5 -year period in accordance with regulations.
The Ministry of Home Affairs is assigned to coordinate with the Central Organizing Committee and relevant agencies based on the population size, natural area, functions, tasks, and powers of local authorities at the commune level as a basis for developing and completing job positions to submit to competent authorities to assign the payroll of commune-level cadres, civil servants, and public employees to localities.
- End the use of non-professional workers at the commune level; assign local authorities to consider and arrange non-professional workers at the commune level to meet the requirements of the task of participating in work in villages and residential groups; implement the policy of resignation for non-professional workers at the commune level without being assigned to work according to regulations.
- Based on the population size, natural area, and socio-economic development level of commune-level administrative units, the Government aims to assign the total number of local government positions to localities (expected to average about 32 positions/commune level). On that basis, the local government at the provincial level is assigned to decide on the number of staff for each local government at the commune level in accordance with practical requirements.
Accordingly, eliminating the two-level local government organization at the commune level will soon increase the number of cadres, civil servants and public employees of the district level before the arrangement to be arranged for the new commune-level administrative units (after the arrangement).
Then, carry out the review and streamlining of the payroll in conjunction with restructuring and improving the quality of the team of commune-level civil servants and public employees to meet the requirements of the tasks, ensuring a period of 5 years basically in accordance with regulations.
