The Civil Service Commission establishes uniform guidelines for appointment statuses, defining permanent, temporary, and co-terminous classifications to ensure compliance with eligibility requirements and tenure security in government positions.

Q&A (CSC MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 11)

The purpose is to set a uniform standard in the determination of the appropriate employment status for every appointment in the government service.

The three types are Permanent status, Temporary status, and Co-terminous status.

A person must meet all the requirements for the position, including the appropriate civil service eligibility as prescribed by law, rules, and standards.

Temporary status can be given to a person who meets the requirements except civil service eligibility, and only if there is an absence of qualified civil service eligibles willing to accept the appointment.

Co-terminous status means the appointment is dependent on the pleasure of the appointing authority or co-existent with his tenure or the project duration or specific period as defined in the policy.

Co-terminous with the project, appointing authority, incumbent, and with a specific period.

If the incumbent resigns, separates, or the service is terminated, the position is deemed automatically abolished, but the appointee's security of tenure is guaranteed during incumbency.

Security of tenure is limited to a specific period, after which the position is deemed abolished.

They are recognized according to the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers (RA 4670).

No, the Commission shall not act on any appointment where the status does not conform with this policy.
