The Ministry of Home Affairs talks about promotion of professional titles of Grade IV

On April 15, 2008, Mr. Ngo Hong Hai (character's name has been changed) received a decision from the Department of Home Affairs stating that he is a type B civil servant.

Due to the common work tasks of the locality, on June 5, 2008, Mr. Hai was transferred from a public service unit to work at an administrative agency.

However, at this agency, he was not allowed to continue signing contracts due to lack of conditions for qualifications (intermediate professional qualifications).

From 2011 to 2014, he studied and completed his professional qualifications at the University. In December 2020, he was recruited as a civil servant according to Conclusion 71-KL/TW and Instruction No. 2965/HD-BNV.

According to Mr. Hai, during his work, he always completed his assigned tasks well and completed his university degree and certificates.

However, he is still a Grade IV civil servant and as of February 23, 2025, the locality has not yet organized a promotion for him.

"As a person with a lot of passion for expertise, working in remote, isolated and border areas, I feel too disadvantaged for myself. So I would like to ask what should I do if the locality still does not promote me?

If I get promoted in the future, if the promotion is late and not timely for me, who is responsible and from when will my promotion regime be applied?" - Mr. Hai wondered.

Regarding Mr. Hai's reflection and recommendation, the Ministry of Home Affairs responded on the Electronic Information Portal.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, based on the provisions of Clause 4, Article 65 of Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP (amended and supplemented in Clause 36, Article 1 of Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP), the People's Committees at the provincial level shall organize or decentralize, and authorize the organization of consideration for promotion of professional titles of grade I or lower for civil servants under their management.

Accordingly, the head of a public service unit specified in Clause 1, Article 7 of this Decree or the competent authority managing a public service unit specified in Clause 2, Article 7 of this Decree or the head of an agency or unit authorized to develop a recruitment plan, decide according to authority or report to the civil servant management agency for approval as a recruitment basis before each recruitment period.

The content of the recruitment plan includes:

Number of assigned employees and number of unused employees of public service units;

Number of people needing to be recruited for each job position, in which the job positions candidates are allowed to register for 2 wishes are determined. The job positions for candidates registered with 2 wishes must have the same standards and conditions, along with the Examination Council, applying the form of writing exam (round 2) and general exam questions;

Number of job positions to be recruited for ethnic minorities (if any), clearly defining the targets and ethnic structure to be recruited;

Standards and conditions for applying for each job position...

The public service unit specified in Clause 1, Article 7 of this Decree shall develop and decide on a recruitment plan according to the provisions of this Clause without having to report to the competent authority managing the public service unit for approval.

Therefore, the Ministry of Home Affairs recommends that he discuss with the civil servant management agency where he works for guidance and resolution according to his authority.
