Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra - Deputy Head of the Steering Committee for the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the development of a model of organizing local government at both levels of the Government signed an official dispatch to the Provincial Party Committee, City Party Committee, People's Committee of the province and centrally-run city.
Accordingly, based on Conclusion No. 163-KL/TW of the Politburo and the Secretariat, which requires "study a roadmap to extend the use of non-professional workers in accordance with the time of rearranging villages and residential groups", the Steering Committee guides that localities should base on the practical situation and requirements for implementing the tasks of the political system at the new commune level to temporarily extend the use of non-professional workers at the commune level until before May 31, 2026.
If necessary, the People's Committee of the commune can arrange and assign to the title of part-time worker in the village or residential group.
In case the local Party Committee and government at the new commune level do not have a need to continue to use part-time workers at the commune level, the regime and policies will be resolved according to the provisions of Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP of the Government regulating staff streamlining.
In addition, according to the Steering Committee, part-time workers at the commune level who wish to retire immediately from the implementation of the 2-level local government model will enjoy the regime and policies according to the provisions of Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP.
The local Party Committee and government at the commune level that have a need to use and the non-professional workers at the old commune level who wish to continue working will be considered by the local Party Committee and government to temporarily arrange them to the position of work support for the operation of the political system of the new commune-level administrative unit (party agency, Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, local government) or participate in the positions of non-professional workers in the village or residential group before May 31, 2026.
At the same time, the Government directs to continue to receive allowances, regimes and policies issued by the Provincial People's Council. During this time, if part-time workers at the commune level quit their jobs, they will enjoy the regime and policies according to the provisions of Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP.
During the implementation process, if there are any difficulties or problems, the Steering Committee requests the People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities to promptly report to the Ministry of Home Affairs (Standing Committee of the Steering Committee) for synthesis and reporting to competent authorities for consideration and decision.
