120 non-specialized workers accepted into civil service
Before May 31, 2026, Can Tho City has received 120 non-specialized workers who are eligible to become civil servants of commune and ward People's Committees.
At the Q1/2026 press conference just organized by the Can Tho City People's Committee, Deputy Director of the Can Tho City Department of Home Affairs Nguyen Thi Hong Hanh said that regarding the arrangement and placement of non-specialized staff and personnel at Public Administrative Service Centers, the unit has developed a deployment plan.
First, regarding the arrangement of non-specialized personnel, according to the general policy, the assignment of this force will end on May 31, 2026. The Department of Home Affairs has coordinated with the People's Committees of communes and wards to develop specific plans to arrange and assign this team.
For the group of subjects who meet the correct and sufficient standards, the Department has coordinated with the People's Committees of communes and wards to receive 120 cases of non-specialized officials to work at the People's Committees of communes and wards" - Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Hanh said.
For groups that do not meet the standards and conditions, the Department has also planned to consider and resolve them according to the staff streamlining policy as stipulated in Decree 154 on staff streamlining.
The remaining cases who wish to stay at work, if they meet the conditions, will be arranged to hamlets and areas after arrangement, we will also develop a recruitment plan according to civil servant contracts when assigned staff positions in 2026 by competent authorities" - Ms. Hanh said.
Second, regarding the arrangement of personnel at Public Administrative Service Centers, Ms. Hanh said that in cases where units still do not ensure sufficient quantity as required, the Department of Home Affairs coordinates with localities to implement many solutions such as: Receiving civil servants, mobilizing cadres who meet the conditions and standards, and at the same time encouraging the use of contract labor according to regulations to supplement human resources.
Implementing the 2-level local government model, the Government Steering Committee allows localities to temporarily extend the use of non-specialized commune-level personnel until before May 31, 2026.
The extension is aimed at avoiding sudden disruptions and ensuring the maintenance of the operation of the political system at the grassroots level. Because before the time of rearranging administrative units, there were about 120,500 people in this force nationwide.
To suit the reality of operating the new commune - ward, from after July 1, 2025, this staff arrangement will be implemented in 3 main directions.
The first is to quit and enjoy the streamlining policy according to Decree 154/2025. Those who quit in the period from July 1, 2025 to before May 31, 2026 are still eligible for settlement benefits based on working time and age. In particular, people who reach retirement age or are receiving pensions are entitled to a one-time allowance equal to 15 months of current allowance.
The second direction is to continue to stay in the grassroots system for a short time. Many localities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have guided the temporary arrangement of personnel to support work positions in new communes and wards or participate in positions in villages until the end of May 2026.
The third direction, more sustainable but limited in quantity, is to consider receiving civil servants according to Decree 170/2025. The mandatory condition is that individuals must have at least 5 years of service, pay compulsory social insurance and have expertise suitable for the new job position.
