New proposal on evaluation and classification of cadres, civil servants and public employees

Illustration

The Ministry of Home Affairs said that Decree 56/2015/ND-CP of the Government on assessment and classification of cadres, civil servants and public employees (CBCCVC) has created a legal basis for agencies and organizations to carry out the assessment and classification of CBCCVC according to strict processes and procedures with relatively specific and detailed criteria and assessment and classification levels. The assessment steps and assessment levels are divided into different levels such as self-assessment, assessment by the workplace, and agencies and organizations monitoring CBCCVC...

Although there have been many innovations in the content and methods of assessment according to job positions, the assessment work still faces many difficulties and shortcomings. Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW dated May 19, 2018 of the 7th Conference of the 12th Party Central Committee on focusing on building a team of cadres at all levels, especially at the strategic level, with sufficient qualities, capacity and prestige, equal to the task, identifies the assessment of civil servants as a weak link, not reflecting the reality, not linked to specific results and products, and in many cases still being emotional, deferential, lenient or prejudiced, specifically in the following aspects:

Ministries, branches and localities have not yet developed specific evaluation criteria and have no detailed plans to monitor the progress of assigned work for civil servants, public employees, leading to difficulties in the implementation process and inaccurately reflecting the actual level of work completion by civil servants.

There is no connection in the evaluation results between the Party, government, and organizations, leading to evaluation in many places, sometimes formal, overlapping, and wasting time and resources.

From the above problems, it is necessary to amend the regulations on the evaluation of civil servants and public employees to overcome limitations and shortcomings, and meet the requirements of institutionalizing the Party's guidelines and policies.

Some new contents of the draft Decree

Regarding the assessment level of cadres and civil servants: Based on the provisions of the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants, Decree No. 56 stipulates 4 levels of assessment and classification of cadres and civil servants, including: Excellent task completion, good task completion, task completion but limited capacity and task failure.

Institutionalizing Regulation No. 89-QD/TW, the draft Decree stipulates 4 levels of assessment and classification of cadres and civil servants, including the level of Completing tasks instead of the level of Completing tasks but still limited in capacity (ensuring consistency between Party regulations, the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants and the Law on Public Employees).

Regarding evaluation criteria: To meet the requirements in the management of leading and managing civil servants, Regulation No. 89-QD/TW has specified criteria on politics, ideology, ethics and lifestyle. Regarding the criteria on the results of performing professional tasks, Regulation 89-QD/TW has added some contents such as developing and implementing action programs, implementing administrative reform, the rate of task completion of affiliated units and civil servants under management... On that basis, the draft has specified criteria related to the evaluation and classification of civil servants.

Regarding the interconnection in the evaluation of civil servants, the draft Decree supplements the principle that "The results of the evaluation and classification of civil servants as prescribed in this Decree shall be used as the basis for interconnection in the evaluation and classification of party members and union members". On that basis, the draft Decree stipulates the responsibility of the head of the agency, organization, or unit in coordinating with the Party Committee and union at the same level to unify the interconnection of the use of the evaluation results of civil servants in the evaluation of party members and union members.
