According to the provisions of Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP (effective from June 15, 2025), cadres and civil servants who are classified as failing to complete their tasks for 1 year are subject to staff streamlining.

The Ministry of Home Affairs said that based on the provisions of Clause 3 and Clause 4, Article 58 of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents in 2025, in cases where legal documents have different regulations on the same issue, documents with higher legal validity are applied.
On the other hand, in case legal normative documents issued by the same agency have different regulations on the same issue, the regulations of the legal normative document issued later shall be applied.
Therefore, civil servants who are classified as not completing their tasks are subject to the policies specified in the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants in 2025 and Decree No. 170/2025/ND-CP, and are not subject to the staff streamlining policy specified in Decree No. 154/2025/ND-CP.
