How are teachers who are civil servants on maternity leave evaluated and ranked?

Legal Consulting Office of Lao Dong Newspaper answers:

Clauses 1, 2, Article 11 of Decree No. 335/2025/ND-CP Regulations on evaluation and classification of quality for state administrative agencies and civil servants (effective from January 1, 2026), stipulate special cases in monitoring, evaluating, and classifying the quality of civil servants as follows:

1. Civil servants who have worked for less than 06 months in the year are not classified as quality, except for cases specified in Clause 2 of this Article.

2. Civil servants who take separate leave without pay but ensure working time from 06 months or more; take sick leave or maternity leave according to the provisions of the law on social insurance, the quality ranking results in the year are the quality ranking results of the actual working time of that year.

Thus, from January 1, 2026, if a teacher who is a civil servant retires from maternity benefits according to the provisions of the law on social insurance, the quality ranking results in the year are the quality ranking results of the actual working time of that year.
