The PERSONNEL SELECTlON BOARD (PSB) shall cover both the recruitment and selection of
employees in the Firstl* and Secondzd Levels of the career service who are entering the civil service
for the first time or are being re-employedlreappointed, and the screening of employees who are

Presidential Appointees and PENROs

(CESB Resolufion No. 819; DEN!? MSPP)


6.b

REASSIGNMENT (pp 16-17)

Reassignment shall be governed by the following rules:


1.

These rules shall apply only to employees appointed to first and second level positions
in the career and noncareer services. Reassignment of third level appointees is
governed by the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 1.

2.

Personnel movements involving transfer or detail should not be confused wrth


reassignment since they are governed by separate rules.

3.

Reassignment of employees with station-specific place of work indicated in their


respective appointments shall be allowed only for a maximum period of one (I)
year.
An appointment is considered station.specific when the particular office or station
where the position is located is specifically indicated on the face of the appointment
paper. Station-specific appointment does not refer to a specified plantilla item number
since it is used for purposes of identifying the particular position to be filled up or
occupied by the employee.

4.

If an appointment is not station-specific, the oneyear maximum period shall not apply.
Thus, reassignment of employees whose appoinlments do not specifically indicate the
particular office or place of work has no definite period unless otherwise revoked or
recalled by the Head of Agency, the Civil Senrice Commission or a competent court

Department of Environment and Natural Resources


Manual of Authorities
on Human Resonrces Development and Administrative Matters

5.

If an appointment is not station-specific, reassignment to an organizational unit within


the same building or from one building to another or contiguous to each other in one
work area or compound is allowed. organizational unit refers to sections, division, and
deparbnents within an organization.

6.

Reassignment outside qeo~raphicallocation if with consent shall have no limit


However, if it is without consent, reassignment shall be for one (1) year only.
Reassignment outside geographical location may be from one regional office (RO) to
another RO or from the RO to the Central ORce (CO) and vice-versa.

7.

Reassignment is presumed to be regular and made in the interest of public service


unless proven otherwise or if it constitutes constructive dismissal. Constructive
dismissal exists when an official or employee quits his or 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.
