The assessment results are the basis for implementing policies for those with outstanding qualities, talents, and abilities, who meet the requirements of the job, to continue to work; those who need training and improvement to meet the requirements of the job position; at the same time, correctly identify the subjects who retire (retire early or quit) to enjoy the policy according to regulations through screening and arranging the order of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers.

The resolution of dismissal in cases of voluntary application must be approved by the head of the agency, unit or locality. If not approved, the head of the agency, unit or locality must respond in writing and state the reasons.
