The Civil Service Commission (CSC) said that the use of the Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) allows an objective assessment of government employees’ performance.
“Having a performance management system in place is an integral component of human resources management, especially in government service where there is a necessity to ensure that employees perform according to or beyond the expectations of the taxpaying public,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala.
She explained that under the SPMS, every government employee has his/her own Individual Performance Commitment and Review (IPCR) Form, a performance contract between the employee and management where targeted outputs for the specific rating period are clearly spelled out, including the performance standards which serve as basis for evaluating each output.

Appointees who have taken their oath of office and assumed the duties of the position are entitled to receive their salaries.
This was clarified by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in light of the delay in the issuance of salaries of newly-hired teachers, allegedly because their appointments have not yet been approved by the CSC.
“The appointment issued by the agency is enough to warrant the release of the appointee’s salaries and wages. Thus, the Commission urges the Department of Education to release their salaries immediately,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala.
