Trinidad has a total of 4 permanent HR

RECORDS MANAGEMENT
Since the year 1999, LGU-Trinidad has been integrating
Information Technology in the Human Resource Management.

In that year, the LGU used the ID with barcode in monitoring

the attendance of all employees. All employees are required
to swipe their IDs at the barcode terminal during time in and
out.

GHRS MODULES
- 201/Benefits
- DTR
- PAYROLL
DTR logs are connected to the
GHRS-DTR module. Every cut-
off period the HR generates this
personalized DTR.
Aside from the DTR, the HR
through a memorandum from
the Mayor also required all
employees to submit
accomplishment report
corresponding to the dates
he/she is present.
But the HR observed that there were employees who
swiped IDs other than their own. In 2004, the LGU
upgraded the system and used the Fingerprint
biometrics . Fingerprint scanners were installed in key
buildings of the LGU.
DTR logs are also
connected to the GHRS
which produces the
same personalized DTR.
The LGU did not stop in improving the system. There were
complaints from some employees that their fingerprints were not
detected by the scanners, thus, in January 2014, the LGU started
to implement the Face Recognition biometrics with High
Resolution Infrared Camera. This device can identify or verify
users by their face which provides hygienic 100% touch-free
biometric authentication. It integrates high speed Multi-Bio
processor and high definition infrared camera which enables user
identification even in the dark.
DTR logs are also
connected to the GHRS
which produces the
same personalized DTR.
The LGU-Trinidad also strictly requires Travel
Order for employees who have official business
outside the municipality and the Locator Slip
for those who have official or personal business
within the municipality.

The resources who are mainly the employees are the basic ingredients in any human resource
planning process. In its most basic form, the LGU Trinidad, Human Resource Management involves
Records Management, HR Management Systems and Programs, Employees Welfare, Employees
Discipline and other various innovations and personnel-related programs.

The HRM program which emphasizes on the strategic development and maximization of the
employees, giving promotions, and incentives to good performing individuals and other schemes
which the LGU is now embracing, has certainly created a significant impact on the governance
and management of the Local Government Unit with measurable and tangible outcomes.

As a result, the Local Government Unit of Trinidad in the aspect of Human Resource Management
and Development has been able to properly and effectively manage the employees, the work
place and environment and is able to bring about effective service delivery to its clientele.
Moreover, as our Local Government Unit was accorded with Level II Accreditation by the Civil Service
Commission under the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource
Management (PRIME-HRM), a consistent awardee of the Seal of Good Housekeeping, an awardee on
Good Financial Housekeeping, and an ace in Knowledge Management System, Trinidad has also been a
destination of many benchmarking and learning exposure activities wherein several visits were focused
to specifically learn the CSC policies, regulations and guidelines pertaining to government service and
employment.

These and other achievements serve as our foundation, our stepping stone to more improvements and
developments and as motivation, having seen their various positive end results, continue to find ways to
put our HR Management System and Programs to the next level and conduct career development
programs to the employees.

HRMD Office of Trinidad hopes to eventually reap the coveted Level III Accreditation and ISO
Certification someday.
