Notable points in year-end quality assessment and classification

The Standing Committee of Hai Duong Provincial Party Committee issued Instruction No. 05/HD-TU dated November 17, 2023 on annual review, assessment, quality classification, and rewards for party organizations, party members, and collectives and individuals of leaders and managers at all levels.

Instruction No. 05/HD-TU replaces Instruction No. 10-HD/TU dated November 19, 2019 of the Provincial Party Standing Committee.

Assign tasks as a basis for review and classification

Instruction No. 05/HD-TU clearly states that every year, organizations, agencies, and units assign specific targets and tasks (or determine targets and tasks according to resolutions, programs, and plans) to each collective and individual under their management as a basis for review, evaluation, and quality classification.

Groups and individuals must complete the review before being evaluated and classified for quality. Individuals who are absent or have not been evaluated or classified for quality must be evaluated and classified as soon as possible.

The competent authority shall notify the assessment and quality classification results to the assessment subject and the collective or individual directly managing and using the assessment subject. If a collective or individual has been classified for quality, but is later found to have defects or does not meet the conditions of the classified quality level, the results shall be annulled and the classification shall be re-classified.

Handling the time of violation and disciplinary decision not in the same year

Instruction No. 05/HD-TU determines cases where a collective or individual has shortcomings or violations that occurred in the previous year or period of time, but is only decided to be disciplined by a competent authority at the time of assessment and classification, or where a collective or individual is subject to a more severe form of discipline by a competent authority during the assessment and classification year, as follows:

Firstly, after the decision to enforce collective or individual discipline takes effect, the immediate superior Party Committee shall, based on the disciplinary form, determine the time of the occurrence of the shortcomings and violations recorded in the disciplinary decision, and re-evaluate the quality classification results at that time at the level of not completing the task; in cases where the consequences are self-discovered and remedied, the content, motive, nature, extent, consequences, circumstances, and causes of the violation shall be carefully considered to review and decide to re-evaluate the results appropriately.

Second, make a decision to cancel the old classification results and recognize the new classification results. Direct relevant agencies to cancel the contents of emulation and rewards according to their authority, ensuring consistency and synchronization with relevant regulations. Issues beyond the authority of the immediate superior Party Committee shall be reported to the competent superior for consideration and decision.

How to resolve violations that occur in both the old and new agencies?

In case an individual has shortcomings or violations occurring at both the old agency or unit and the new agency or unit, and is disciplined and subject to disciplinary action at the old agency or unit and the new agency or unit, the disciplinary measure shall be calculated into the assessment and classification results according to the time of determining the violation at each agency or unit, as follows:

Firstly, if the violation occurred at the previous work agency or unit and does not recur at the current work agency or unit, then consider re-evaluating and re-classifying the results at the previous work agency or unit.

Second, if there are new violations in addition to the violations at the previous work agency or unit, consider re-evaluating and re-classifying the results at both the previous and current work agency or unit.

Third, the current working agency or unit shall preside over and coordinate with the previous working agency or unit to review and decide on the assessment and classification according to regulations.

According to Instruction No. 05/HD-TU, the classification level of a leader must not be higher than the classification level of the leadership, management, organization, agency, or unit that he or she heads, except in cases where the newly transferred leader is not related to the classification level of the new organization, agency, or unit.

Collectives and individuals have the right to present and reserve opinions to their immediate superiors on issues and contents that they do not agree with regarding the evaluation and classification results, but must comply with the conclusions, comments, evaluations and classifications of the competent authority.

When there are written complaints or recommendations regarding the content of comments, assessments and classification results, the competent authority for assessment and classification is responsible for reviewing, concluding and notifying in writing the collective or individual making the complaint or recommendation.
