1X9 INDEX SERVICE

Introduced by HON. JOSE ANTONIO R. SY-ALVARADO.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to grant the appropriate civil service eligibility to casual, contractual or temporary
status employees in the government who has religiously served for at least ten (10) years without any gap

in their service record,

One of the pre-requisites of having a permanent appointment is being civil service eligible aside

from their basic qualifications of meritoriously, morally, and being physically fit.

jent government service is one aspect which we would like to promote and improve. Havis

served a period of 10 years or more without being classified as @ permanent employee, demoralizes and

isolates an individual based on his civil service eligibility alone. It erases the fact that he or she is already

considered a senior in his field of work having rendered a considerable amount of effort and time to the
government agency. Being able to master his or her work for a period of 10 or more years is being over

qualified if we are to base it on experience alone. Thus, we would like to appeal that the service tenure

provided by the individual for the longest time be equivalent to being civil service eligible.

Hence the approval pf this measure is eamestly sought afer.
