| GUIDE TO USERS
OF THE INDEX OF
OCCUPATIONAL SERVICES, OCCUPATIONAL GROUPS,
CLASSES AND SALARY GRADES |
| |
| |
| The Content and Structure of the IOS |
| |
The Index lists
the different occupational services, occupational groups,
and classes of positions existing in the Position Classification
Plan (PCP) of the Philippine Government. It also includes
the Occupational Service Code, Occupational Group Code,
Class Identification or Class ID and the Salary Grade
assignment of each class of positions. |
| |
An Occupational
Service is the main grouping in the PCP based on broadly
related or similar professions or occupations, e.g.,
Administrative Service, Architecture and Engineering
Service, Medicine and Health Service, etc. |
| |
An Occupational
Group, on the other hand, is a subdivision of an Occupational
Service consisting of a series or more in the same or
related occupation or occupational area, e.g., Accounting
Group, Property Appraisal Group, Economics Group, Statistics
Group, etc. |
| |
A Series is
the subdivision of an Occupational Group consisting
of one or more classes of positions which are similar
as to specialized line of work, arranged by level of
difficulty or responsibility, e.g., Architect I, Architect
II, Architect III, Architect IV and Architect V. |
| |
A Class is
the basic unit of the PCP consisting of all those positions
having sufficiently similar duties, responsibilities
and qualification requirements that they can be given
the same class title, salary grade, and for all position
classification and compensation purposes be treated
alike, e.g., Teacher I, Engineer I, Laboratory Technician
II, etc. |
| |
A Salary Grade
is the zone of difficulty and responsibility of work.
It covers all classes of positions which, although different
with respect to kind or subject matter of work are sufficiently
equivalent as to level of difficulties and responsibilities
and level of qualification requirements of the work
to warrant the inclusion of such classes of positions
within one range of basic compensation. |
| |
Each Occupational
Service is given an alphanumeric code. Each Occupational
Group is given an alphabetic code, while each Class
of positions is given an alphanumeric Class Identification
which reflects the level of the position in the Series. |
| |
This Index
includes only the classes of positions in the national
and local government. While the Index contains classes
of positions unique to local government units (LGUs),
a separate updated Index will be issued to LGUs in view
of the limited LGU position classification concerns.
A separate updated Index will be issued to government-owned
and/or –controlled corporations, and government
financial institutions. |
| |
| How to Use the IOS |
| |
The IOS is
presented in three (3) different volumes, namely: the
Index of Classes by Occupational Service and Occupational
Group, Volume I; the Index of Classes by Alphabetical
Order, Volume II; and the Index of Classes by Salary
Grade, Volume III. All of these volumes can assist the
user in identifying classes of positions for purposes
of effective personnel management, organizational analysis,
budgeting and fiscal control, and general information. |
| |
The Index of Classes by Occupational
Services, Occupational Groups
and Salary Grades (Volume I) |
| |
The primary
method of identifying classes of positions is through
the use of Volume I. The other two (2) Volumes of the
IOS are supplementary and should be used in conjunction
with this Volume. Using this Volume saves time by eliminating
extra steps of referring to the other Volumes of the
IOS. |
| |
| To use Volume I: |
| |
| 1. |
Obtain all the
relevant facts about the position. |
| |
|
| 2.
|
Find
in the Table of Contents the page of the Occupational
Service which seems most likely to cover the duties
and responsibilities of the position. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Read
carefully the Occupational Service definition
and choose the most appropriate class from the
Occupational Groups listed therein. If it does
not describe the facts obtained about the position,
repeat steps 1 and 2 to find the most appropriate
class. |
| |
|
|
| When trying to find the most appropriate
class, remember the following general descriptions: |
| |

|
| The Index of Classes by Alphabetical
Order (Volume II) |
| |
If you know
the position title only, you can search through this
Volume for a lead to an appropriate identification of
the position. It may require you to make assumptions
about the nature of the duties and responsibilities
of the position which may be incorrect. This Volume
should be used only if you are unable to obtain sufficient
information to use Volume I. |
| |
| To use Volume II |
| |
| 1.
|
Look
through the Volume for the title of the position
as you know it. If you find it, write down the
Occupational Service Code, Occupational Group
Code, Series Code and Class or Position ID Code
of the positions and locate it in Volume I for
an overview of all the other classes of positions
in the series. |
| |
|
|
| |
Example: |
| |
|
|
| |
If
you want to find the position of Accountant I,
look for it in the listing of positions under
letter A. Once you find it, write down it Occupational
Service Code (02-FS, Occupational Group Code (AC),
Series Code (A) and Class or Position ID Code
(A1). Using these Codes as guides locate the position
in Volume I. |
| |
|
|
| 2. |
If you cannot
find the exact positions title, look for a similar
position title and
repeat step 1. Some clues are: |
| |
|
|

|
However,
if you have information on several of these factors,
it may be appropriate to use Volume I. |
| |
| The Index of Classes
by Salary Grade (Volume III) |
| |
The
Volume is useful if you have limited information
about a position.You may know salary grade of
the position you are searching, but have little
information about essential data as machines and
materials used, job location, services rendered
and activity performed. |
| |
| To use Volume III: |
| |
1. Look through
the list of classes or positions titles by salary
grades and select the class or position title. |
| |
2. Survey the
position titles listed under the selected salary
grade and choose the position title most likely
to cover the duties and responsibilities of the
position you are searching for. Write down its
Occupational Service Code, Occupational Group
Code and Class ID and locate it in Volume I for
an overview of all the other classes of positions
in the series. |
| |
| |
Example: |
| |
Look through the list of
positions in the selected salary grade. If, for
example, you selected Utility Worker I, write
down its Occupational Service Code (06-CT), Occupational
Group Code (GUS) and Class ID Code (UTW1). Using
these Codes as guides locate the position in Volume
I. |
