Document background
The Government Job Appointment Letter is a crucial document in the Philippine civil service system, required whenever a new employee is appointed to a government position or when an existing employee receives a new appointment or promotion. This formal document must comply with the Civil Service Commission's requirements and the Administrative Code of 1987, ensuring transparency and proper documentation of government appointments. It serves multiple purposes: officially appointing the individual, stating the terms and conditions of employment, specifying the position's duties and responsibilities, and establishing the legal basis for the appointment. The letter must include specific elements such as the position title, salary grade, nature of appointment, and other terms as prescribed by Philippine civil service laws. It's essential for both permanent and temporary appointments across all government agencies, from national to local levels, and forms part of the employee's official record throughout their government service.
