Good day!

As stipulated in the ORAOHRA, detail from one department or agency to another shall be covered by an agreement manifesting the arrangement between the agency heads. My question is: how about if the detail is within the agency, specifically from one regional office to another regional office? Is it necessary to have a memorandum of agreement (MOA)?

Thank you!

Section 13, Rule IV, 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and other Human Resource Actions (2017 ORAOHRA), Revised July 2018 provides that the movement of an employee across the organizational structure within the same department or agency, which does not involve a reduction in rank, status or salary is of the nature of reassignment. On the other hand, detail is the temporary movement of an employee from one department or agency to another which does not involve a reduction in rank, status or salary.

Under the same Rule, reassignment do not require the issuance of an appointment but nevertheless require an Office Order issued by the appointing officer/authority.

It is hoped that we have been assistance to your concern.

Please take note of the Rules on Reassignment under Section 13, Rule IV, 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and other Human Resource Actions (2017 ORAOHRA), Revised July 2018 , as follows:

“Reassignment shall be governed by the following:

“1. Reassignment of employees with station-specific place of work indicated in their respective appointments within the geographical location of the agency shall be allowed only for a maximum period of one (1) year. The restoration or return to the original post/assignment shall be automatic without the need of any order of restoration/revocation of the order of reassignment.

"The reassigned employee who is restored to his/her original post/assignment pursuant to the decision of the Commission shall not be reassigned within one (1) year reckoned from the date of restoration to the original post/assignment. Otherwise, the appointing officer/authority or the authorized official who caused the subsequent reassignment within 1 year from the date of restoration may be cited for indirect contempt by the Commission as provided in Rule 16 of the 2017 Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (RACCS).

"An appointment is considered station-specific when: (a) the particular office or station where the position is located is specifically indicated on the face of the appointment paper; or (b) the position title already specifies the station, such as Human Resource Management Officer, Accountant, Budget Officer, Assessor, Social Welfare and Development Officer, and such other positions with organizational unit/station-specific function. Such position titles are considered station-specific even if the place of assignment is not indicated on the face of the appointment.

“2. If an appointment is not station-specific, the one-year maximum period of reassignment within the geographical location of the agency shall not apply. However, the employee concerned may request for a recall of the reassignment citing his/her reasons why he/she wants to go back to his/her original station. The reassignment may also be revoked or recalled by the appointing officer/authority or be declared not valid by the Civil Service Commission or a competent court, on appeal.

“3. Reassignment is presumed to be regular and made in the interest or exigency of public service unless proven otherwise or if it constitutes constructive dismissal. Constructive dismissal exists when an official or employee quits his/her work because of the agency head’s unreasonable, humiliating, or demeaning actuations, which render continued work impossible because of geographic location, financial dislocation and performance of other duties and responsibilities inconsistent with those attached to the position. Hence, the employee is deemed illegally dismissed. This may occur although there is no diminution or reduction in rank, status or salary of the employee.

“Reassignment that constitutes constructive dismissal may be any of the following:

"i. Reassignment of an employee to perform duties and responsibilities inconsistent with the duties and responsibilities of his/her position such as from a position of dignity to a more servile or menial job;

"ii. Reassignment to an office not in the existing organizational structure;

"iii. Reassignment to an existing office but the employee is not given any definite set of duties and responsibilities;

"iv. Reassignment that will cause significant financial dislocation or will cause difficulty or hardship on the part of the employee because of geographic location; or

"v. Reassignment that is done indiscriminately or whimsically because the law is not intended as a convenient shield for the appointing/disciplining officer to harass or oppress a subordinate on the pretext of advancing and promoting public interest such as reassignment of employees twice within a year, or reassignment of career service officials and employees with valid appointments during change of administration of elective and appointive officials.

"Reassignment that results in constructive dismissal must be sufficiently established.

“4. The employee may appeal the reassignment order within 15 days upon receipt thereof to the Commission or CSC RO with jurisdiction, as provided under specific law, if he/she believes there is no justification for the reassignment. Pending appeal, the reassignment shall not be executory.4 The Decision of the CSC RO may be further appealed to the Commission within 15 days from receipt thereof.

“5. Reassignment of public health workers, public social workers, public school teachers and all other professions covered by special laws shall be governed by their respective laws. However, the rules herein mentioned shall be applied suppletorily.”

It is hoped that we have been assistance to your concern.

Good day!

Thank you for your answer.

I have another question: what action can be done if the employee wishes to extend his/her reassignment due to his/her medical condition?

Thank you!

To reiterate, under the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and other Human Resource Actions (2017 ORAOHRA), Revised July 2018, reassignment is a the movement of an employee across the organizational structure within the same department or agency, which does not involve a reduction in rank, status or salary by virtue of the Office Order issued by the appointing officer/authority. Also under the said Rule, reassignment is presumed to be regular and made in the interest or exigency of public service unless proven otherwise or if it constitutes constructive dismissal.

Hence, reassignment is a management prerogative which the CSC normally does not interfere with, absent the showing of grave abuse of discretion.

It is hoped that we have been assistance to your concern.
