The Civil Service Commission (CSC) warns the public against unscrupulous individuals pretending to be CSC employees/officials.

The CSC has received reports about individuals pretending to be employees/officials of the CSC or from a certain “Public Complaints Center”, who contact government employees to inform them that an administrative case has been filed against them. The employee is then instructed to pay a certain amount of money to clear himself/herself of the charges.

The CSC Central Office (CO) will be closed from 8-9 October 2020 due to recent confirmed cases of COVID-19. As part of precautionary measures, the CSC Central Office shall undertake disinfection measures and conduct contact tracing.

In this regard, CSC clients are advised not to visit the CSC CO from 8-9 October 2020. The clients may avail of the following services and transactions online:

Government employees who reach the compulsory retirement age of 65 years may request extension of service for six months under specific conditions.

In CSC Resolution No. 2000002 dated 3 January 2020, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) laid down the conditions for the grant of requests for service extension. These conditions, along with the agency head’s justification of the need for the service, include completion of a program or project identified as a priority of the agency; deployment in services that have an impact on national security, safety, and national or local emergency as declared by the appropriate authority; and provision of highly technical expertise not readily available in the agency.

With the passage of Republic Act No. 11494, also known as the “Bayanihan to Recover as One Act” or “Bayanihan 2”, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) urged government agencies to revisit and apply civil service policies that support the response and recovery measures mandated by the said law.

To augment human resources involved in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, the CSC issued Memorandum Circular No. 14, s. 2020 or the Interim Guidelines on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions for the Period of State of Calamity Due to COVID-19 Pandemic in July 2020.

The interim guidelines allow reassignment, detail, transfer, and designation to augment human resources involved in addressing the pandemic.
