HANOI, June 16, (Xinhua): Vietnamese officials who fail to fulfill their assigned duties in one year will be subject to staff streamlining under a new government decree, Vietnam News Agency reported Monday. The regulation, which took effect Monday, also applies to civil servants, public employees and workers made redundant due to organizational restructuring.
Others eligible under the streamlining policy include individuals who do not meet the professional training standards required for their current positions, have no suitable roles for reassignment, or cannot be retrained to meet qualification standards. Vietnam's ongoing administrative restructuring and planned provincial mergers are expected to reduce the number of state employees by about 250,000, according to the National Assembly.
