This is a prominent provision stipulated in the Draft Law amending the Law on Cadres, Officials, and the Law on Public Employees.
To be specific, in Clause 1 Article 32 of the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants 2008, it is stipulated that the following cases are considered as civil servants, including:
a) Civil servants in the organizations of the Communist Party of Vietnam, political-social organizations;
b) Civil servants in state agencies;
c) Civil servants in the leadership and management of public service providers;
d) Civil servants in units under the People's Army that are not officers, professional soldiers, or defense workers; civil servants in units under the People's Public Security that are not professional officers or non-commissioned officers.

However, Clause 18 Article 1 of the Draft Amendment stipulates the abolition of Point c Clause 1 Article 32 of the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants 2008, meaning that leadership and management positions of public service providers will no longer be considered as civil servants.
The Draft also stipulates that after the amended Law on Cadres and Civil Servants and the Law on Public Employees takes effect, cases identified as civil servants in public service providers under the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants 2008 will continue to implement policies and apply legal regulations as for civil servants until the end of the current appointment term.
See detailed content at Draft Law amending the Law on Cadres and Civil Servants and the Law on Public Employees expected to take effect from 2020.
