According to the Draft Decree on Regulations on staff streamlining, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed 2 groups that have not yet implemented staff streamlining.
The first group is those who are pregnant, on maternity leave, or raising children under 36 months old, except for individuals who voluntarily streamline their staff.
The second group is those who are undergoing disciplinary review or criminal prosecution or being inspected or examined for signs of violations.
In addition, the Draft outlines 4 subjects that will implement the staff streamlining policy.
Firstly, cadres, civil servants, public employees; commune-level cadres, civil servants and people working under labor contracts are subject to the same regime and policies as civil servants as those prescribed by the Government.
Second, people working under un Determined labor contracts are left redundant due to reorganization or restructuring of the unit's human resources according to the decision of the competent authority.
Third, part-time workers at the commune level will retire immediately from the implementation of the 2-level local government model according to the provisions of the Law on Organization of Local Government to be considered and approved by the National Assembly.
Fourth, the group of non-professional workers in villages and residential groups who are redundant due to the arrangement of villages and residential groups will retire immediately from the date of the arrangement decision by the competent authority.
Currently, Decree 29/2023/ND-CP of the Government on staff streamlining stipulates how to determine the average monthly salary to calculate allowances over a period of nearly 20 years.
In addition, when developing Decree 178/2024/ND-CP on policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers and armed forces in implementing the reorganization of the apparatus of the political system, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed that monthly salary to calculate the policy and regime is the salary of the month immediately preceding the retirement of cadres, civil servants and public employees.
Therefore, to ensure a general correlation of the staff reduction policy in this Draft Decree with Decree 178 (amended and supplemented in Decree No. 67/2025), the Draft Decree proposes that monthly salary to calculate the staff reduction allowance for cadres, civil servants and public employees is the current monthly salary.
On that basis, the drafting agency proposed regulations on how to calculate the average monthly salary and replace the phrase "average salary" with "current salary" in the entire Draft Decree.
