Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - Civil servants and public employees,who have received a warning or are under disciplinary action, have been calledon to resign as one of the ways to carry out the downsizing policy.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has submitted the proposal to theGovernment in a draft decree, which is set to replace Decree No. 108/2014/ND-CP;Decree 113/2018/ND-CP; and 143/2020/ND-CP on the downsizing policy issued bythe Government.

Under the draft decree, the downsizing policy will not be appliedto women, who are on sickness, pregnancy, or maternity leave, or those raisingchildren under 36 months to protect the interests of civil servants and publicemployees unless they want to take voluntary layoffs.

Previously, Decree No. 108/2014/ND-CP stipulated that thedownsizing policy has not been applied to the female staff detailed above.However, during the implementation process, many individuals have expressed adesire to voluntarily resign as they are not healthy enough to work.

The draft also proposes the removal of three groups under thedownsizing policy. The groups consist of contract workers; company president,members of the members' council, general director, deputy general director,director, deputy director, chief accountant, and controller in one-memberlimited liability companies owned by the State or owned by a socio-politicalorganisation; and permanent civil servants working at associations.

Regarding the early retirement policy, the draft amends the age toenjoy the early retirement policy to ensure compliance with the provisions ofthe Labour Code and Decree No. 135/2020/ND-CP.

It also supplements the policy of early retirement for femalecivil servants at the commune level, who have paid social insurance premiums forat least 15 years and are old enough to enjoy the retirement policy./.
