Title Source: Supreme Court: CESB Assessment Center Cost Policy

Law: Cesb Circular No. 3, S. 2004

Decision Date: Feb 17, 2004

The CESB Circular No. 3, S. 2004 revises the policy on Assessment Center costs, stipulating that the Board will cover expenses for certain presidential appointees on their first attempt, while all other applicants must bear the costs for all attempts.

Law Summary

Applicants Whose Assessment Center Cost is Covered by the CESB

Career presidential appointees assigned to or acting as Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of a CES position.
Appointees or OICs of division chief positions in national government agencies covered by CES, whose third level officials are presidential appointees.
The CESB covers the cost only once for these applicants; subsequent attempts after failure are at the applicant's expense.

Applicants Required to Shoulder Their Own Assessment Center Cost

Applicants from national government agencies or government-owned or controlled corporations whose third level officials are non-presidential appointees.
Applicants from other respective agencies and the private sector.
These applicants shoulder all costs regardless of whether it is their first or subsequent attempts.

Implementation and Transitional Provisions

Effective immediately upon issuance (February 17, 2004).
All Management Aptitude Test Battery (MATB) applicants' Assessment Center cost shall follow the revised policy.
Applicants already in the four-stage CES Eligibility Examination process before effectivity shall be governed by the old policy under CESB Resolution No. 459, series 2002.

Amendatory Nature of the Resolution

The resolution amends Section 5, Article IV of CESB Resolution No. 459, series of 2002, specifically addressing the Assessment Center cost policy.
It clearly outlines responsibilities for payment to avoid ambiguity in payment obligations.

Legal Formalities

The circular was adopted and signed by Chairperson Karina Constantino-David and attested by Deputy Executive Director Arturo M. Lachica on February 17, 2004.

Summary of Key Legal Concepts

Differentiation of applicants based on appointment status leading to differential cost responsibilities.
One-time cost coverage for qualifying applicants to promote efficiency and support for presidential appointees.
Clear procedural guidelines to standardize cost payment and avoid discretionary interpretations.
Transitional provisions to ensure smooth application of amendments without disrupting ongoing eligibility processes.
