The surplus due to the arrangement in the period 2019 - 2021 has not been resolved yet.
Hung Nghia Commune (Hung Nguyen District) after the merger (early 2020), the locality had a surplus of 12 cadres and civil servants. Up to this point, after nearly 4 years of propaganda, mobilization, and persuasion, 6 cadres and civil servants have been reduced in the form of early retirement and resignation.
According to the regulations of type II communes like Hung Nghia, the total number of cadres and civil servants arranged is 20 people, while currently the commune has 26 cadres and civil servants, of which the number of full-time cadres is enough according to the "frame" and the remaining surplus is all civil servants.
Comrade Tran Xuan Hien - Secretary of the Party Committee of Hung Nghia commune said: The roadmap for resolving the surplus of central cadres and civil servants is allowed until December 31, 2024, which means just over 1 year from now, while the 6 current surplus civil servants are all under 40 years old, have university degrees and basically have intermediate political qualifications. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to persuade civil servants to quit their jobs; meanwhile, wanting to "force" them to quit for streamlining is only when they are assessed as not completing their tasks for 2 consecutive years. However, currently, the recruitment of civil servants is done by the district level and the evaluation and classification of civil servants are done according to the vertical level above, so the request for streamlining at the grassroots level is a difficult problem for the locality.
Hung Nguyen district is the locality with the largest number of merged communes in the province in the period 2009 - 2021, from 10 communes merged into 5 communes; the number of redundant cadres and civil servants is 96 people. Along with the implementation of bringing regular police to communes and implementing Decree 34 of the Government (replacing Decree 92), the total number of redundant cadres and civil servants in Hung Nguyen district is 114 people.
According to comrade Hoang Nghia An - Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Hung Nguyen district, clearly defining the responsibility of the entire political system, Hung Nguyen especially highlighted the role and responsibility of the head of the Party Committee and the commune-level government in propagating and mobilizing cadres and civil servants to retire, retire according to the regime or transfer to other jobs; associated with the implementation of serious annual assessment and classification of cadres and civil servants, as a basis for streamlining and transferring jobs as district-level civil servants. Up to now, the whole district has streamlined 92 cadres and civil servants and the remaining surplus is 22 people.
The current difficulty in dealing with redundant civil servants is that their age and working time are not enough to retire according to current regulations, and in the past there has not been a strong enough policy mechanism to encourage this group to change jobs to other fields."

Similarly, in Nam Dan district, 8 communes and towns were arranged and merged into 3 units with a total of 93 redundant cadres and civil servants after the merger. Along with the total number of redundant cadres and civil servants due to the arrangement of administrative units, and at the same time implementing Decree No. 34 of the Government, bringing regular police to communes, Nam Dan district has resolved early retirement, resignation, rotation and currently has 51 redundant civil servants.
According to comrade Hoang Nghia Hung - Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Nam Dan district: Currently, resolving the surplus of commune-level cadres and civil servants continues to put great pressure on the locality, especially when the deadline for resolving the surplus is required to be December 31, 2024, the merged communes must have the correct number of cadres and civil servants according to regulations. Meanwhile, the surplus civil servants are not old enough or the number of years of participation in health insurance is not enough; on the other hand, some civil servants do not have job positions suitable for their expertise, such as a shortage of military or land civil servants, but there are excess financial, cultural and social civil servants but they cannot be arranged due to the inappropriate professional qualifications of the missing job positions.
Solving the surplus of commune-level officials and civil servants continues to put great pressure on localities, with only more than 1 year left.

According to information from the Nghe An Department of Home Affairs, in the period of 2019 - 2021, Nghe An has a total of 39 commune-level administrative units that will be rearranged to 19 communes, reducing 20 communes, from 480 communes to 460 communes. The rearrangement and reduction of 20 communes at this stage, the whole province has a surplus of 460 people, in addition, the province also implements Decree No. 34 to replace Decree No. 92, and at the same time brings regular police to the communes, the surplus pressure is greater.
In recent years, Nghe An has resolutely directed and issued a number of separate policies in addition to the Central Government's regulations to encourage and motivate in resolving the surplus of cadres and civil servants; by June 2023, the whole province still had 127 people. This is not an easy problem, requiring the responsibility of the entire political system to join hands.
Need strong enough policy to overcome difficulties
It can be said that the settlement of redundant cadres and civil servants at the commune level is "layer upon layer", because the 2019 - 2021 period has not been completely resolved, and currently the implementation of the arrangement of administrative units at the district and commune levels in the 2023 - 2025 period is continuing.
Accordingly, in the period of 2023 - 2025, Nghe An will arrange 1 district-level administrative unit, specifically merging Cua Lo town into Vinh city and is expected to arrange 89 commune-level administrative units. Of the 89 commune-level administrative units planned to be arranged in the period of 2023 - 2025, after review, Director of the Department of Home Affairs Nguyen Viet Hung said that there are nearly 2,000 redundant officials and civil servants; posing a huge "burden" for the province in the story of resolving the surplus.
Dien Chau district is a locality with 17 communes that do not meet both criteria on population area, plus 2 adjacent communes, so the number of communes expected to be reorganized in the 2023 - 2025 period is 19 communes into 9 communes, reducing 10 communes and the number of redundant cadres and civil servants after review is about 200 people.
According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Khoa - Head of the District Internal Affairs Department: The settlement of redundant cadres and civil servants in this rearrangement period has had more open directions, such as the roadmap for resolving the surplus is extended to 5 years. On the other hand, the regulation on early retirement for commune-level cadres and civil servants who are redundant due to the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units (according to Decree No. 29 of the Government), men must be 52 - 57 years old, women must be 50 - 55 years old.
However, in reality, for local officials, some people who are old enough to retire within 5 years of streamlining have not paid insurance for 20 years; civil servants are basically young, not old enough to retire and not old enough to pay social insurance. This poses many difficulties and challenges in propaganda and mobilization to resolve the surplus.
Therefore, to solve this problem, in addition to the Central policy, it is recommended that the province study and issue a policy to support continued payment of insurance premiums for people who are of retirement age but have not paid enough insurance for enough years so that after they quit their jobs, they can continue to participate in insurance, and at the same time have a strong enough policy to support people who quit their jobs to have the conditions to change jobs.
In Thanh Chuong district, based on Resolution No. 35 of the National Assembly Standing Committee, it is expected that there will be 16 communes and towns to be arranged into 7 communes and towns, reducing 9 communes and the surplus after review is about 161 people, including 74 officials and 87 civil servants.
Comrade Nguyen Cao Thanh - Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Thanh Chuong district said that for civil servants, the State must ensure their jobs according to the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants; and for current election officials, all have university and intermediate political degrees, many of whom have the capacity, experience and desire to contribute, but if by the 2025-2030 congress, they are not included in the structure, they will be forced to retire.
To continue to use and promote the role of this team, the Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Thanh Chuong district proposed that the province study and have a policy to select a number of specialized commune-level cadres in merged communes to become commune or district civil servants.
To continue to use and promote the role of specialized cadres at the commune level after the administrative unit arrangement, it is proposed that the province study and have a policy to select these cadres to become commune or district civil servants.

It is thought that practical issues need to be studied by the province to come up with appropriate policies and strategies to effectively solve the problem considered the most difficult in the arrangement of administrative units at district and commune levels, which is to resolve the surplus of cadres and civil servants, ensuring to meet the requirements and aspirations of cadres and civil servants under possible conditions.
