2. The annual evaluation and classification timeline for officials and public employees in Vietnam

The evaluation and classification of officials and public employees for the year 2020 shall be conducted according to the provisions of ND-CP 90/2020/ND-CP of the Government of Vietnam. Article 20 of this Decree stipulates that the evaluation and classification of officials and public employees be conducted before December 15 each year, prior to the evaluation and classification of party members and the annual summary of emulation and commendation work of the agency, organization, or unit.

For public service providers operating in the fields of education and training, and some other sectors where the work year ends before December each year, the head of the public service provider decides the timeframe for the evaluation and classification of public employees.

Previously, according to ND-CP 56/2015/ND-CP, amended and supplemented by ND-CP 88/2017/ND-CP, the evaluation and classification of officials and public employees were conducted in December each year, before the annual emulation and commendation review.

Thus, in 2020, officials and public employees will be evaluated before December 15, 2020, instead of in December as previously regulated. Specifically, for public employees who are teachers, the principal will decide the evaluation period since their work year ends before December each year.
