To be specific, according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 34 Law on Officials 2008, currently, officials are classified into four categories corresponding to the following ranks:
- Type A includes individuals appointed to the rank of senior specialist or equivalent;- Type B includes individuals appointed to the rank of principal specialist or equivalent;- Type C includes individuals appointed to the rank of specialist or equivalent;- Type D includes individuals appointed to the rank of officer or equivalent and employee rank.
However, according to Clause 4, Article 1 of the Draft, this content has been amended and supplemented in the Law on Officials 2008. From January 01, 2020, there will no longer be regulations on the classification of officials as currently stipulated, but instead, based on the industry, profession, and professional skills, officials will be classified according to corresponding official ranks. The specific ranks, hierarchy of each rank, linked to the job positions and salaries will be detailed by the Government of Vietnam.
