The Career Executive Service Board, pursuant to CESB Res. No. 548, dated August 10, 2004 has revised the policy on security of tenure in the Career Executive Service (CES) in conformity with the pertinent policies of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) for third level qualified incumbents. Henceforth, attainment of CES Eligibility by an incumbent of a CES position is enough to enjoy security of tenure in the CES provided he or she has met the other basic requirements of the position established in the qualification standards set or approved by the Civil Service Commission based on the recommendation of the Department or Agency concerned.
It also reiterated that notwithstanding the permanent status of appointment of a third level official, he/she is covered by the mobility principle enshrined under Article IV, Part III of the Integrated Reorganization Plan, as approved by Presidential Decree No. 1, as amended dated September 24, 1972, quoted herein as follows:
"e. Assignments, Reassignments and Transfers.
Any provision of law to the contrary notwithstanding members of the Career Executive Service may be reassigned or transferred from one position to another; provided that such reassignment or transfer is made in the interest of public service and involves no reduction in rank or salary; provided, further, that no member shall be reassigned or transferred oftener than every two years; xxx."
To ensure compliance to the above-quoted mobility principle, reassignment or transfer shall be effected only upon availability of the corresponding position, it being understood that a "floating" status is not within the contemplation of this principle. Assignment to a CESO pool shall not be considered on a floating status.
This Circular shall take effect immediately.
