Question my appointment

Sir/Madam:

Greetings!

I am a government employee of the certain agency here in Iligan city, sometime in july 2015. I already have the copy of my appointment, but i noticed that in my appointment, it was said that my status is PERMANENT, however, it was written also in the below paragraph, as quoted "Ang appointment na ito ay REAPPOINTMENT bilang kapalit ____". ?

My question is, would this statement affect in the future retirement or may have cause any confusion in my appointment? As i know, I was appointed as Casual Plantilla for one year before i got my regularization thereafter.

For me, the word "REAPPOINTMENT" is very broad and confusing. Even my Head Officer questioned that word and ask me to clarify to your office.

I need your clarification on this sir/ma'am.

Thank you and morepower

Dear Hazel Ann,

Thank you for messaging us in CSC Online Forum.

As to your query, pertinent are Sections 9 (a) and 11 (e), Rule IV (Employment Status, Nature of Appointment and Other Human Resource Actions) of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and other Human Resource Actions (ORAOHRA) which state, as follows:

Sec. 9. Employment Status. The employment status in the civil service shall be determined by the appointment issued, which can be any of the following:

a. Permanent - an appointment issued to a person who meets all the qualification requirements of the position to which he/she is being appointed to, including the appropriate eligibility, in accordance with the provisions of law, rules and standards promulgated in pursuance thereof.

Sec. 11. Nature of Appointment. The nature of appointment shall be, as follows:

e. Reappointment the issuance of an appointment as a result of reorganization, devolution, salary standardization, re-nationalization, recategorization, rationalization or similar events, including the following:

1. The issuance of appointment from temporary to permanent, career to non-career or vice versa, non-career to another non-career, all of which entails no gap in the service, shall be considered as reappointment. Non-career employees who are appointed for the first time in the career service under permanent status shall be required to undergo probationary period for six (6) months.

2. The renewal of temporary, contractual and casual appointment upon the expiration of the appointment or subsequent appointment of substitute teachers, which entails no gap in the service, shall be considered as reappointment. A temporary appointment may be renewed if there is no qualified eligible actually available who is willing to accept the appointment, as certified by the highest official in charge of human resource management and provided that the performance rating of the employee is at least Satisfactory.

Reappointment presupposes no gap in the service.

Hope to have enlightened you on the matter.
