How are teachers who are civil servants on maternity leave evaluated and classified?

The Lao Dong Newspaper Legal Consulting Office replied:

Clause 1, 2, Article 11 of Decree No. 335/2025/ND-CP regulating the assessment and classification of quality for state administrative agencies and civil servants (effective from January 1, 2026), stipulates special cases in monitoring, evaluating and classifying the quality of civil servants as follows:

1. Civil servants with less than 06 months of working time in a year are not classified as having quality, except for the cases specified in Clause 2 of this Article.

2. Civil servants on leave for personal reasons who are not paid but have to ensure working time of 06 months or more; on sick leave or maternity leave according to the provisions of the law on social insurance, the results of the quality classification in the year are the results of the quality classification of the actual working time of that year.

Thus, from January 1, 2026, teachers who are civil servants who are on maternity leave according to the provisions of the law on social insurance will have the results of the quality classification in the year as the results of the quality classification of the actual working time of that year.
