Question & AnswerQ&A (CESB Resolution NO. 845)
The CESB is mandated to promulgate rules, standards, and procedures on the selection, classification, compensation, and career development of members of the Career Executive Service (CES).
The Supreme Court recognizes the CESB's existence, mandate, and authority over third level positions, and acknowledges its autonomy from the Civil Service Commission (CSC), being attached only for policy and program coordination purposes.
The third level shall be composed of CES positions as well as those positions occupied by non-presidential appointees that are above Division Chief Level and performing executive or managerial functions.
The Supreme Court upheld the requirement that incumbents of CES positions must have CES eligibility and be appointed to CES rank by the President to be granted membership in the CES and be conferred security of tenure.
Numerous CESOs and CES Eligibles expressed apprehensions regarding their status and the qualification standards, particularly eligibility requirements, for positions similar to theirs due to the differing classifications under OM 67.
The position must be a career position, above Division Chief Level, and its duties and responsibilities require the performance of executive and managerial functions.
Yes, it clarifies that the positions in the CES and/or Third Level shall also be composed of positions occupied by non-presidential appointees that are above Division Chief Level and performing executive and managerial functions.
CESB maintains that the appropriate qualification standards for appointments to non-presidential CES positions is CES/third level eligibility, as stated in CSC Resolution No. 8226 and the Administrative Code of 1987, and that CESB has the authority to prescribe entrance to the third level.
No, CESB Resolution No. 845 clarifies that OM 67 did not amend, revoke, nor negate the enforceability and effectivity of CESB Resolution No. 799 regarding the coverage of the CES.
