Non-professional workers will stop working from August 1. Those who meet the requirements can be assigned to work in villages and residential areas.
The Central Organizing Committee has issued Instruction No. 31-HD/BTCTW on the establishment of party organizations corresponding to local administrative units and the arrangement of the apparatus of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and provincial and communal-level mass organizations.
The guidance clearly states that the current use of part-time workers at the commune level will end from August 1.
Local Party committees and authorities are responsible for considering and possibly arranging and assigning part-time workers at the commune level who meet the requirements and tasks to participate in work in villages and residential groups and implementing regimes and policies for cases where work is not arranged according to regulations of competent authorities.
Villages and residential groups are self-governing organizations of residential communities, not administrative levels.
Regarding the front working committee in residential areas, stable residential areas (not merged or split) will remain the same as at present, consisting of 9-11 people. The structure includes the head of the committee, deputy head of the committee and members who are some members of the grassroots Fatherland Front Committee residing in the residential area; representatives of the Party cell; heads of mass organizations (elderly people, veterans, farmers, women, youth union, Red Cross...) and some representatives of the people, ethnic groups, religions...
For residential areas that are merged or separated, under the direction of the Party Committee Standing Committee, the Standing Committee of the Fatherland Front Committee of the commune (ward, special zone) after agreeing with the People's Committee of the same level, decides to establish a front working committee in the residential area.
According to current regulations, part-time workers at the commune, village, and residential group levels who are redundant due to the rearrangement of administrative units at the commune level and retire within 12 months from the date of the rearrangement decision by the competent authority are entitled to policies according to the provisions of Decree No. 29/2023/ND-CP dated June 3, 2023 of the Government regulating the policy of streamlining payroll.
However, the monthly allowance for part-time workers at the commune, village and residential group levels is currently not high, so the subsidy level for these subjects is still low. In response to the feedback, the Ministry of Home Affairs has requested the Provincial People's Committee to study and propose policies for part-time workers at the commune, village and residential group levels and send them to the Ministry of Home Affairs for synthesis and submission to the Government for consideration and decision.
In Hai Duong, the total number of non-professional workers at the commune level assigned in the whole province in 2025 is 2,742 people. The positions of non-professional workers at the commune level in Hai Duong according to Resolution No. 26/2023/NQ-HDND include 18 positions/commune, town, 20 positions/ward, including deputy secretary of the Youth Union, vice president of the Women's Union, vice president of the Veterans Association, office support staff, etc.
