Proposing to extend the time to resolve the regime
After localities complete the arrangement of villages and residential groups, the work of resolving policies for grassroots cadres is a content that receives much attention.
At the conference to summarize the work in the first 6 months of the year and deploy key tasks for the last 6 months of 2026 of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Director of Hai Phong Department of Home Affairs Sai Thi Yen said that in the past time, the locality has focused on implementing the arrangement of villages and residential groups in the area in accordance with the direction of the Ministry of Home Affairs. As a result, after arrangement, Hai Phong has reduced the number of villages and residential groups by 44%.
Although the arrangement achieved impressive figures, Ms. Sai Thi Yen also pointed out difficulties in building mechanisms and policies for the personnel team after streamlining.
Ms. Yen said that previously, the Department of Home Affairs had advised the city to develop a draft resolution of the City People's Council to stipulate the allowance level for non-specialized positions in villages and residential groups, as well as regimes on concurrent positions.
However, during the construction process, because the Ministry of Home Affairs is in the stage of collecting opinions on the Government's draft Decree on related contents, Hai Phong has temporarily suspended the promulgation of its own policies to wait for a common legal framework from the Central Government.
On July 7, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a document requesting localities to base on practice and budget balancing capacity to proactively issue support policies. This document also requires localities to complete and report on implementation results in July.
Expressing her views on the above report deadline, Ms. Sai Thi Yen proposed that the Ministry of Home Affairs consider studying extending the deadline for localities. According to her, applying the deadline to July may put pressure and difficulties on Hai Phong in definitively resolving outstanding issues.
According to her, the team of non-specialized personnel in villages and residential groups today has two major characteristics: Old age and professional qualifications are not really guaranteed according to the new guidelines from the Central Government on improving the quality of the team.
The city is planning to submit to the People's Council for promulgation a special resolution in the session at the end of July to solve the problem of restructuring and improving the quality of the staff. However, to implement it thoroughly, clearly identifying which subjects are redundant, and which subjects need to be restructured to improve quality, there needs to be a roadmap and satisfactory time," Ms. Yen stated clearly.
Clearly distinguish 2 cases
Responding to opinions from localities, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Vu Chien Thang emphasized that the deadline to complete the review and report on related policies is September. Regarding the support mechanism, the Deputy Minister noted that localities need to accurately classify subjects to apply fair policies.
Those directly affected by the merger leading to surplus will fully enjoy the regimes according to current guidelines. For those not directly affected, localities need to review carefully to avoid errors.
The Deputy Minister affirmed that the funding for implementing these policies will be self-balanced by the local budget, not using the central budget. The Provincial People's Council has the authority to decide the spending level based on its own budget to properly recognize the contributions of grassroots cadres.
In particular, leaders of the Ministry of Home Affairs requested localities to clearly distinguish between two cases: Surplus due to resignation and surplus to implement the restructuring roadmap to improve the quality of the staff.
These are 2 groups of subjects with completely different regimes and policies, requiring strict review to ensure the legitimate rights of workers," the Deputy Minister said.
