Innovation in civil servant recruitment, salary classification corresponding to job position
The draft Law on Cadres and Civil Servants states about innovating civil servant recruitment, in which the salary arrangement at civil servant ranks corresponding to job positions is stated.
On April 28, continuing the 44th session, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave opinions on the draft Law on Cadres and Civil Servants (amended).
Presenting the proposal, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that according to the draft law, the method of managing cadres and civil servants will be converted according to job positions.
"The assessment, arrangement and use of cadres and civil servants must be based on the requirements of the job position and the capacity, results and effectiveness of the performance of the cadres and civil servants.
Abolish the regulation on promotion exams, instead, there is a mechanism for appointing to the rank corresponding to the requirements of assigned job positions according to capacity and performance results" - the Minister of Home Affairs informed.
The draft law also innovates civil servant recruitment work in the direction that the selected person must immediately meet the requirements of the job position.
After being recruited, he is appointed and salary is arranged in the civil servant rank corresponding to the recruited job position and does not have to undergo a probationary regime.
To evaluate cadres and civil servants, the draft stipulates that it must be based on the results of performing tasks and specific work products according to the requirements of the job position being held, instead of based on general criteria, form or emotion.
The head is responsible for managing, evaluating and using civil servants with the right capacity and job position.
The draft Law stipulates the tightening of administrative discipline and order; eliminating the thinking of "lifelong institutions", specifying the requirement to streamline the payroll in a practical direction; regulating the screening and elimination of civil servants who do not complete their tasks.
Reviewing the draft law, Chairman of the Law and Justice Committee Hoang Thanh Tung agreed to amend the regulations to connect commune-level cadres and civil servants with provincial levels, unifying a civil service regime from the Central to the commune level.
Regarding the principle of managing cadres and civil servants, the Law and Justice Committee basically agreed to continue to maintain the principle of managing cadres and civil servants as "a combination of job title and position standards and staffing quotas", proposing to perfect regulations on job positions and civil servant ranks as a basis for continuing to innovate the management of cadres and civil servants.
At the same time, to have a mechanism to screen and overcome the "life-time civil service" regime, there are opinions that it is necessary to amend regulations on civil servant assessment.
However, there are opinions suggesting that there should be stronger innovation in the direction of completely shifting to management according to job position, creating a legal basis for implementing salary payment according to job position.
Speaking to accept and explain the above opinions, Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that she will add regulations on job positions.
"When designing job positions, the drafting agency clearly establishes job positions as the center for managing civil servants, ranks are just tools to distinguish between ranks and responsibilities in the civil service" - Ms. Tra said and affirmed that she will clarify the authority to build and approve job positions.
