Supplementing policies for civil servants in public service units

Regarding the policy of allowing people to retire early to streamline the apparatus, the Ministry of Home Affairs has submitted to the Government a draft Decree amending and supplementing Decree 178/2024 of the Government, including adding regulations on implementation costs in public service units when civil servants and employees retire early.

In case public service units self-insure regular expenses ordered by the State through service prices but the service prices do not include all the constituent elements to resolve policies and regimes as prescribed in this Decree for civil servants, the source of funding to resolve policies and regimes shall be provided by the State budget.

The draft Decree amending and supplementing Decree 178 adds regulations for those working within the payroll quota and receiving salaries from the state budget at associations assigned by the Party and State at the central and local levels to directly arrange the organizational apparatus, the funding for resolving policies and regimes will be provided by the state budget.

In addition, administrative organizations that are subject to special financial mechanisms such as public service units until December 31, 2024 will have their funding source for policy and regime settlement provided by the state budget.

The leader of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that the Ministry will provide specific instructions for each case to be implemented according to regulations. However, during the review process, the Ministry will evaluate each specific case, not allowing those who are capable and have the ability to contribute to retire before the age.
