Changes in the Evaluation of Public Employees Effective from July 1, 2020?

Clause 5, Article 2 of the Law on Cadres, Officials and the amended Law on Public Employees 2019 (Effective from July 1, 2020) stipulates:

The evaluation of public employees shall be carried out as follows:

a) Annual evaluation; evaluation before the end of the probation period, renewal of employment contracts, change of job positions; evaluation before consideration for commendation, discipline, appointment, reappointment, and planning;

b) Based on the specific nature of the work of the agencies, organizations, and units, the head of the competent authority managing public employees shall issue a regulation or assign the head of the agency, organization directly employing public employees to issue a regulation on evaluating public employees on a quarterly, monthly, or weekly basis, suitable to the specific nature of the work of their agency, organization, unit, ensuring publicity, democracy, objectivity, and quantification with specific results and products; the evaluation results are the basis for conducting the evaluation of public employees stipulated in point a of this clause.

Currently, according to Clause 3, Article 41 of the Law on Public Employees 2010, this content is stipulated as follows:

The evaluation of public employees is conducted annually; at the end of the probation period; before renewing an employment contract; changing job positions; considering commendation, discipline, appointment, reappointment, planning, training, and retraining.

Thus, the new regulation provides clearer guidance on the timing of public employee evaluations; in addition to the current instances, the evaluation of public employees can be carried out quarterly, monthly, or weekly, suitable to the specific nature of the work of the agency or organization.

Respectfully!
