If civil servants go to intensive training for more than 6 months a year, are quality assessments and ratings conducted in Vietnam?

Clause 2, Article 2 of Decree 90/2020/ND-CP stipulates principles for evaluating and classifying the quality of cadres, civil servants and public employees as follows:

3. Officials, civil servants, and public employees whose working time in the year is less than 06 months are not subject to quality assessment and grading but must still review their working time during the year, except for cases of leave. 

Officials, civil servants, and public employees who take a leave of absence from work according to the provisions of law during the year from 03 months to less than 06 months will still be evaluated but will not grade the quality at a level of good task completion or higher. 

For officials, civil servants, and public employees taking maternity leave according to the provisions of law, the quality rating results for the year are the quality rating results of the actual working time of that year.

According to Article 49 of the 2008 Law on Cadres and Civil Servants, the responsibilities and benefits of civil servants in training and retraining are stipulated as follows:

1. Civil servants attending training and retraining shall strictly observe training and retraining regulations and submit to the management of training and retraining institutions.

2. Civil servants attending training and retraining are entitled to full salaries and allowances, with the training and retraining durations included in the continuous seniority period and considered for salary raise in accordance with law.

3. Civil servants with excellent performance in training or retraining courses are entitled to praise and reward.

4. Trained or retrained civil servants who give up or discontinue their jobs without permission shall refund training and retraining expenses in accordance with law.

Thus, the time civil servants spend participating in training and fostering is still counted as continuous seniority. If you are a civil servant and have gone to intensive training for more than 6 months, that time is still counted as working time. According to this Article, you will still be evaluated and graded for quality.
