Lawyer Ho Thu Trang, YouMe Law Company Limited answers:

Clause 10, Article 2 of Decree No. 234/2026/ND-CP stipulating the handling of disciplinary action against public employees (effective July 1, 2026) stipulates as follows: Public employees who commit violations during their working time at the old agency, organization, unit until they are transferred to a new agency, organization, unit, newly discovered that violation and still within the statute of limitations for disciplinary action, the competent authority of the agency, organization, unit shall conduct the consideration of disciplinary action and apply disciplinary forms according to the provisions of law corresponding to the position of public employee currently holding. In this case, the old agency, organization, unit is responsible for coordinating and providing all dossiers related to the public employee's violations in the process of considering and handling disciplinary action. Regulations on quality assessment and classification and other relevant regulations are calculated in the old unit.
