Supplementing principles for evaluating and classifying the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees

Regulations on principles for evaluating and classifying the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees, in addition to the 4 principles prescribed in Decree No. 90/2020/ND-CP, Decree 48/3023/ND-CP has added 2 more principles.

Firstly, cadres, civil servants and public employees subject to party or administrative discipline will have their quality assessed and classified as follows:

Cadres, civil servants and public employees who are subject to party or administrative discipline in the year of assessment will be classified as having failed to complete their tasks.

In case the violation has not been subject to a disciplinary decision by a competent authority but has been used as a basis for assessing and classifying the quality as not completing the task in the assessment year, the disciplinary decision issued after the assessment year for that violation (if any) shall not be counted for assessing and classifying the quality in the year of the disciplinary decision.

In case a cadre, civil servant or public employee is a party member and has been subject to party discipline and administrative discipline for the same violation, but the party discipline decision and the administrative discipline decision do not take effect in the same year of assessment, it will only be considered as a basis for quality classification in one year of assessment.

Second, the proportion of cadres, civil servants and public employees classified as "Excellently completing tasks" out of the total number of cadres, civil servants and public employees at the same agency, organization or unit and for each group of subjects with similar tasks must not exceed the proportion of Party members classified as "Excellently completing tasks" according to Party regulations.

In case an agency, organization or unit has outstanding achievements, completes assigned tasks ahead of schedule, completes unexpected tasks well, proposes or organizes innovation, creates positive changes, brings practical value and efficiency, the competent authority shall decide on the rate of excellent task completion in accordance with reality, ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of cadres, civil servants and public employees.

The content of the Regulation must clearly define specific products associated with each job position, criteria for assessing quality, efficiency, and time of assessment by quarter, month or week (if any); basis for determining the percentage of work completion; component criteria for assessing and classifying the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees, taking into account the ratio of the workload of cadres, civil servants and public employees compared to the total workload of the agency, organization or unit; encourage the application of information technology to assess and classify the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees, ensuring compliance with the provisions of this Decree.
