On March 21, the Hanoi People's Committee issued guidelines on criteria framework and assessment scale for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers to reorganize the apparatus and streamline the payroll.

The subjects of application include cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers who are subject to Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP and Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP under the management of agencies, organizations, and units under the city government.

The assessment is carried out according to the criteria of each group of job positions in accordance with the characteristics of the situation and practice of the agency, organization, or unit. Each group of job positions has different assessment criteria and weighted scores depending on the nature of the job and position.

The evaluation results are calculated on a 100-point scale based on the performance of tasks in the last 3 years. The total score for each cadre, civil servant, public employee, and worker is arranged in order from highest to lowest.

Accordingly, the settlement of early retirement or resignation for cases with voluntary applications must be approved by the head of the agency, organization or unit according to regulations. If not approved, the head of the agency, organization or unit must respond in writing and state the reasons.

Do not consider or resolve cases of voluntary early retirement or resignation but are assessed to have outstanding qualities and abilities, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility for the common interest, have exemplary achievements, and bring benefits to the agency, organization, or unit.

In case the head of an agency, organization or unit has issued a document not agreeing to early retirement or resignation, but the cadre, civil servant, public employee or employee still wishes to resign, the competent authority shall immediately resolve the resignation and shall not be entitled to the regime according to Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP and Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP.

Eligible and voluntary retirement groups: Based on the number of people who voluntarily apply for early retirement or resignation, agencies, organizations and units will consider, evaluate and resolve each case in the following order of priority: cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers with poor health, not meeting job requirements; cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers who have not met training standards after restructuring the apparatus or administrative unit; professional qualifications that do not match the job position requirements approved by competent authorities; cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers with less than 10 years of work remaining and reaching retirement age according to regulations.
