On July 17, 2023, the Government of Vietnam issued Decree 48/2023/ND-CP, amending and supplementing a number of articles in Decree 90/2020/ND-CP dated August 13, 2020, on the evaluation and ranking of the quality of officials and public employees.
Clause 1, Article 1 of Decree 48/2023/ND-CP has supplemented regulations for evaluating and ranking officials and public employees sanctioned by the Party or administrative discipline, by adding Clause 5 after Clause 4, Article 2 of Decree 90/2020/ND-CP.
To be specific, as follows:
Principles for Evaluating and Ranking the Quality of Officials and Public Employees
...
5. Officials and public employees sanctioned by the Party or administrative disciplinary actions will be evaluated and ranked as follows:
a) Officials and public employees sanctioned by the Party or administrative discipline in the evaluation year will be ranked as not completing their duties, except in cases stipulated in Point b of this Clause.
b) In cases where the violation has not yet been decided upon by a competent authority but has already been used as a basis for evaluating and ranking the quality as not completing duties in the evaluation year, any disciplinary decision issued after the evaluation year for that violation (if any) will not be counted towards evaluating and ranking the quality in the year of the disciplinary decision.
c) In cases where officials and public employees, who are Party members, are sanctioned by both the Party and administrative discipline for the same violation but the Party disciplinary decision and the administrative disciplinary decision do not take effect in the same evaluation year, it will only be counted as a basis for ranking quality for one evaluation year.
Officials and public employees sanctioned in the evaluation year will be ranked as not completing their duties, except where the violation has not yet been decided upon by a competent authority.
In cases where there is no disciplinary decision within the evaluation year but the official or public employee has been evaluated and ranked as not completing duties for that violation, any disciplinary decision issued after the evaluation year (if any) will not be counted towards evaluating and ranking the quality in the year of the disciplinary decision.
In cases where officials and public employees, who are Party members, are sanctioned by both the Party and administrative discipline for the same violation but the Party disciplinary decision and the administrative disciplinary decision do not take effect in the same evaluation year, it will only be counted as a basis for ranking quality for one evaluation year.
