Question transfer incidental to promotion

Good Morning!

I would just like to ask if there is a policy regarding transferring to another agency after being promoted in an agency?

Thank you!

May I call your attention to Section 11 (b) (c), Rule IV of 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions:

b. Promotion — the advancement of a career employee from one position
to another with an increase in duties and responsibilities as authorized by law, and usually accompanied by an increase in salary. Promotion may be from one department or agency to another or from one organizational unit to another within the same department or agency. Provided, however, that any upward movement from the non-career service to the career service and vice versa shall not be considered as a promotion but as reappointment.

An employee who is promoted to another agency shall notify the head of the department or agency in writing where he/she is employed within 30 days prior to his/her assumption to the position. It is understood that the employee who is promoted to another agency is cleared from all money, property and work-related accountabilities.

The pendency of an administrative case against any employee shall not be a bar to promotion.

An employee who has been found guilty of an administrative offense and imposed the penalty of demotion, suspension or fine shall be disqualified for promotion for the same period of suspension or fine. In the case of demotion, the period of disqualification for promotion shall be within one (1) year.

Special promotions based on awards and/or acts of conspicuous courage and gallantry as provided under special laws, such as Sec. 6, RA No. 6713 , Sec. 10, RA No. 9263 , as amended by RA No. 9592, Sec. 31, RA No. 8551 and Executive Order No. 508 , as amended by Executive Order No. 77, shall be exempt from qualification requirements but subject to specific validation requirements as provided under the above-said special laws or their implementing rules and regulations.

c. Transfer — the movement of employee from one position to another which is of equivalent rank, level or salary without gap in the service involving the issuance of an appointment.

The transfer may be from one organizational unit to another in the same department or agency or from one department or agency to another: Provided, however, that any movement from the non-career service to the career service and vice versa shall not be considered as a transfer but reappointment.

An employee who seeks transfer to another office shall notify the head of the department or agency in writing where he/she is employed within 30 days prior to the effective date of his/her transfer. The head of the department or agency shall notify the employee in writing of the approval of the request to transfer within 30 days from date of notice.

If the request to transfer of an employee is not granted by the head of the department or agency where he/she is employed, it shall be deemed approved after the lapse of 30 days from the date of notice without the need to notify the employee concerned.

It is understood that the employee who seeks to transfer is cleared from all money, property and work-related accountabilities.

If, for whatever reason, the employee fails to transfer on the specified date, he/she shall be deemed resigned. However, should the employee opt to remain in the same agency before the specified date of transfer, the employee may be reappointed if there is no gap in the service or reemployed if there is gap in the service. In both cases, the employee shall undergo the usual hiring process.
