The Ministry of Home Affairs released a draft resolution seeking to reduce the government workforce by 100,000 from 2014 to 2020. Public officials laid off from the restructuring process, disqualified for positions and awarded long sick leaves may be subject to downsizing.
The ministry said the downsizing is applied not only to civil servants but also employees at state agencies with labour contracts of indefinite term, officials of one-member limited liability companies and staff of particular associations.
In the draft, the ministry proposed that officials, servants, employees with employment contracts of indefinite term or employees at Party and State bodies paid by the State Budget will face layoffs if they belong to one of the following cases:
1 – Redundant from the forced restructuring of State or Party agencies or public service units to apply self-financing, self-responsible and self-employing regime.
2 – Professionally unqualified for current positions and no vacancies suitable for them available.
3 – Professionally disqualified for current positions and no vacancies suitable for them available.
4 – People are classified for job fulfilment in two consecutive years but rated to have limited capacity and have one year failing to complete their tasks but no jobs suitable, available for them.
5 – People have 30 days with sick leaves a year in two consecutive years. Sick leaves are certified by hospitals and sick grants are paid by social insurance agencies.
Besides, the ministry proposed five other cases of downsizing as follows:
Firstly, commune-level officials end concurrent positions at the decision of competent Party and State agencies and there are no positions available for them.
Secondly, long-term public employees redundant from restructuring decided by competent authorities or public service units to apply self-financing, self-responsible and self-employing regime.
Thirdly, members of the board of directors, general directors, deputy general directors, directors, deputy directors, chief accountants, members of the supervisory board of one-member limited liability companies owned by the State, which are equitised, sold, transferred, dissolved, defaulted or transformed into two or more member limited liability companies or public service units; directors, deputy directors and chief accountants of State-owned agricultural and forestry plantations reorganised in accordance with the Decree No. 170/2004/ND-CP dated September 22, 2004 of the Government on restructuring, renovation and development of State forestry enterprises, the Decree No. 200/2004/ND-CP dated December 3, 2014 of the Government on the restructuring, renovation and development of State forestry enterprises but they do not work in those companies, enterprises or State-funded sectors.
Fourthly, persons authorised to represent the State capital in enterprises with State capital. Now, the State does not have capital in such enterprises and they are not assigned to hold new positions.
Fifthly, persons appointed to keep key positions in particular associations. They become redundant in the process of State-decided restructuring of such associations or they are educationally and professionally disqualified for the positions they hold.
