Accordingly, a department may be established when having a workload that requires the allocation of at least 15 civil servant payroll positions. Besides, the Government also allows to establish a division under a bureau/agency/authority of a ministry when having a workload that requires the allocation of at least 07 civil servant payroll positions; a division under a sub-bureau/sub-agency/sub-authority of a bureau/agency/authority of a ministry when having a workload that requires the allocation of at least 05 civil servant payroll positions.

Noticeably, in the course of reorganizing their structures, merged or consolidated organizations and units may have the number of deputy heads larger than prescribed, provided that when a deputy head retires or is transferred to another working position, such organizations and units may not add their deputy heads and shall take solutions to adjust and rearrange the excessive number of deputy heads so that within 3 years from the date of merger or consolidation, such organizations and units have the number of deputy heads in compliance with law.
