No one gets left behind when streamlining the organization
On December 17, at the Government headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the 4th meeting of the Government Steering Committee on summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW.
At the meeting, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that, up to now, the Ministry of Home Affairs has completed the entire summary report of Resolution 18-NQ/TW; the Project on merging, consolidating, transferring functions, tasks, organizational structure and related documents, along with the project on ending the activities of the Party Executive Committee, establishing the Government Party Committee, Party Committees of ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and agencies under the Government.
According to Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra, the most important thing is that after the reorganization, there must be policies to help related cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers stabilize their lives.
The Ministry has completed the draft Decree on regimes and policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees and contract workers in the organizational arrangement of the political system.
This draft decree sets out very important viewpoints and principles. The spirit of the policy is humane, fair, ensuring a reasonable correlation between subjects, aiming to stabilize life, ensure rights and interests for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers so that "no one is left behind in the process of rearranging and streamlining the organizational apparatus".
Focus on special and outstanding priorities to encourage subjects to retire immediately and within 12 months from the time the agency, organization or unit makes the arrangement according to the decision of the competent authority.
Policy development is associated with the responsibility of heads of agencies and units in evaluating, screening, and selecting civil servants and public employees to retire, linking staff streamlining with restructuring and improving the quality of the staff, civil servants and public employees; requiring determination to maintain and retain good cadres and public employees with capacity and qualities equal to the task, and not allowing "brain drain".
Do not let contract workers suffer disadvantages
Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that in the process of streamlining the apparatus, it is necessary to build and design consistent policies, inheriting previous policies, and designing policies higher than Decree No. 29/2023/ND-CP of the Government on streamlining the payroll.
This also avoids future lawsuits and retroactive claims and must ensure fairness, rights, and legality of workers, in accordance with the general situation.
For contract workers, the Prime Minister requested that there must be appropriate policies to ensure that contract workers are not disadvantaged.
According to the head of the Government, it is necessary to build policies and regimes that are suitable to the conditions and circumstances of the country's economy.
In addition, it is necessary to ensure policies to encourage capable, healthy, and qualified people to work in the State sector, as well as attract people working in the non-State sector to the State.
"How can civil servants and public employees come and go normally and conveniently, whether working outside or within the government? Procedures need to be simple and flexible. The general spirit is to create the most favorable conditions possible for workers," the Prime Minister emphasized.
