No. 10149. IV. Classification of GOCCs. As going concerns, GOCCs are engaged in competitive industries, operate under market conditions and thus directly compete with the private sector in attracting, retaining and motivating a corps of competent personnel. Rep. Act No. 10149 provides that the GOCCs are to be classified by mandates as: (a) Developmental/Social Corporations; (b) Proprietary Commercial Corporations; (c) Government Financial, Investment and Trust Institutions; (d) Corporations with Regulatory Functions; and Others as may be classified by the GCG, without prejudice to further sub-classifications in each category and/or any other classifications based on parameters as it may find relevant. In order to ensure that the CPCS for GOCCs is competitive and aligned with the rates and practices of the private sector doing comparable work, it is necessary to classify GOCCs as follows: A. By Mandate and Sector. Each GOCC shall be compared or benchmarked with those private sector entities that are engaged in the same industry or sector as the GOCC. Towards this end and without prejudice to future amendments, GCG has classified GOCCs into the following Mandates and Sectors pursuant to RA 10149 (ANNEX 1): A.1. By Mandates: (a) Developmental/Social Corporations; (b) Proprietary Commercial Corporations; (c) Government Financial, Investment and Trust Institutions; and (d) Corporations with Regulatory Functions. A.2. By Sector: (a) Government Financial Institutions (GFIs) (b) Gaming (c) Energy and Materials (d) Utilities and Communications (e) Area Development, Trade and Tourism (f) Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (g) Educational and Cultural B. By Overall Size. Within each Sector, each GOCC shall also be compared or benchmarked with those private sector entities that are similar in size, in terms of finances and operations. Accordingly, GOCCs shall also be classified by their overall size based on the average grade of each GOCC on the following three (3) Factors: (a) Company Financials (b) Number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Employees (c) Geographical Scope and Business Complexity 1. Company Financials. GOCCs shall have a grade based on the average Total Revenues over the last three (3) years as reported in their audited financial statements: GOCC Financial Range (P) Grade 16 3.0 billion 17 3.0 billion and 6.5 billion 18 6.5 billion and 22.0 billion 19 22.0 billion and 43.5 billion 20 43.5 billion and 87.5 billion 21 87.5 billion and 218.0 billion 22 218.0 billion and 436.5 billion 23 436.5 billion and 2.0 trillion 24 2.0 trillion and 4.0 trillion 25 4.0 trillion 2. Number of FTE Employees. GOCCs shall have a grade based on the number of FTE Employees as follows: GOCC No. of FTE Employees Grade 16 Up to 89 17 90 to 240 18 241 to 620 19 621 to 1,600 20 1,601 to 4,100 21 4,101 to 10,600 22 10,601 to 27,500 23 27,501 to 75,000 24 75,001 to 200,000 25 More than 200,000 3. Geographical Scope and Business Complexity. The grade for the GOCC's Geographical Scope and Business Complexity shall be determined as follows: Scope Global 20 22 24 International 19 21 23 Domestic 16 18 20 Low Medium High BUSINESS COMPLEXITY 3.1. Geographical Scope. (a) Domestic if majority of operations are based in a single country or a small cluster of countries within one region (b) International if the organization is characterized by multi-function operations across an entire region or in several countries in two continents. (c) Global if the majority of functions are represented across three or more continents. All GOCCs are automatically classified as domestic unless there is clear and substantial basis to classify the GOCC's actual operations otherwise. 3.2. Business Complexity/Diversity. The complexity of a GOCC's business operations shall be determined on two levels, to wit: (a) First Level (Control), whether the GOCC Governing Board maintains end to end control of how it will exercise its business judgment in engaging in such activities and does not rely on another GOCC for setting policy and/or strategy. (b) Second Level (Operations), if the GOCC's operations involve one or more of the following activities: i. Regulatory; and/or ii. Revenue-Generation; and/or iii. Social Services. All GOCCs are automatically presumed to perform Social Services activities. Based on the foregoing levels, the complexity of the GOCC's business operations shall be categorized as follows: Category Description 1 GOCC Governing Board does not have end to end control of the business. 2 GOCC's operations involve only one or two of the activities specified above Low - OR - 1. GOCC Governing Board has end to end control of the business. 2. GOCC's operations involve only one of the activities specified above. 1. GOCC Governing Board does not have end to end control of the business. 2. GOCC's operations involve all three of the activities specified above. Medium - OR - 1.

GOCC Governing Board has end to end control of High the business. 2. GOCC's operations involve all three of the activities specified above. 4. Average Grade Based on the Three Factors. By following the parameters and grades for each of the Factors prescribed above in Sections 1 to 3 of this Chapter, a resulting average grade (fractional average grade being rounded off to the nearest whole number) shall be computed for each GOCC to achieve an overall size under the following categories: Classification Average Grade Small 16 Medium 17 to 18 Large 19 and Up 5. Official Classification of GOCC. The Classification of a GOCC based on the foregoing Factors shall be based only on an official certification issued by the GCG upon an application by a GOCC covered by supporting instruments, such as audited financial statements for the previous three (3) years, certified listing of FTE Employees, etc . 6. Change in Classification of Overall Size. GCG may change a GOCC's classification motu proprio or upon the formal application and demonstration by the GOCC that its position in any of the Factors has changed resulting in a change in its Overall Size. V. Losing and/or Highly-Subsidized GOCCs. Notwithstanding the effectivity of the CPCS, all GOCCs that are losing and/or highly subsidized in their operations shall maintain their current compensation framework, without prejudice to the GOCCs improving their operations and applying with the GCG for the application of the CPCS. The GCG shall approve the application of the CPCS to GOCCs which have improved their operations only if it has been determined that the GOCCs shall remain financially viable. aDSIHc VI. Position Classification System. All positions covered by the CPCS shall be allocated to their proper Job Titles and Job Grades, which shall be periodically updated and published by GCG.

For Job Grades 12 and above, the hiring rate may be set up to 10% above minimum if the individual exceeds the minimum requirements in accordance with the Civil Service Commission's Qualification Standards, by taking into consideration such factors as graduation from a reputable school, relevant experience, and more than the required educational attainment ( i.e., Master's, PhD, Multiple Master's and Multiple Certifications). 1.3. Promotion. The Governing Board through Management may promote an individual through any of the following ways: ETHIDa 1.3.1. Raise the salary to the minimum pay in the Job Grade of the vacant plantilla item to which the Officer or Employee will be promoted to; 1.3.2. If the salary of the Officer or Employee already exceeds the minimum pay in the Job Grade of plantilla item to which the Officer or Employee will be promoted to, raise the salary by the percentage difference in the salary range minimums of the current Job Grade to the new Job Grade; 1.3.3. Raise the salary by the percentage difference in the salary range midpoints of the current Job Grade to the new Job Grade; 1.3.4. If the Officer or Employee moves from an overtime-earning job to a non-overtime earning job, consideration must likewise be made for the earning potential lost on account of overtime work. 1.4. Merit Increases. Merit increases should be designed to support a performance-driven organization. A GOCC may recommend implementation of a Merit Increase, subject to approval of GCG, as follows: Step 1. Determine the salary increase budget for the year, considering projected market salary increase and the GOCC's affordability to pay. Step 2. Determine the performance rating distribution under the GOCC's Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) or its equivalent. Implementing guidelines may vary year-on-year depending on considerations such as budget. Performance Rating Recommended Distribution Outstanding 10% Very Satisfactory 20% Satisfactory 50% Unsatisfactory 15% Poor 5% Step 3. Allocate percentage increases depending on the Officer's or Employee's performance. The following additional factors may also be considered: (a) The Officer's or Employee's current position in the salary range may also be considered; (b) The Officer's or Employee's rate of progress and future potential ( e.g., increase the time interval and/or decrease the size of the increase for an Officer/Employee approaching what appears to be their ultimate potential); (c) Foreseeable promotional opportunities for the Officer or Employee concerned. 1.4.1. The Governing Board through Management may withhold unearned increases from a poor performer where appropriate. 1.4.2. In no case shall such implementation of a merit increase result in raising the current salary of an Officer or Employee above twenty-five percent (25%) of the maximum of his/her JG. 2.

La Union Medical Center LUMC ANNEX 2 Index of Occupational Services, Job Titles, and Job Grades (IOS) of the CPCS for GOCCs I. Introduction A. Background Position Classification is an important process where all jobs in the company are systematically assessed and evaluated to determine the relative importance and value to the company. This evaluation, expressed in the form of Career Levels and/or Job Grades becomes the basis for hiring, promoting, and ultimately, rewarding the jobholder. This Job leveling/classification system allows the company to easily determine the relative worth of the job internally (against other jobs in the company) and externally (against other similar jobs in other companies). The IOS was also designed to balance flexibility and uniformity in titling jobs. For certain positions, the GOCC Department/Unit is descriptive of the Occupational Service ( e.g., HR Senior Officer from the HR Department).For other positions that are generic in character such that they could be found across departments (Administrative Services staff),the IOS requires a descriptive job title in addition to the GOCC Department/Unit taken together are the equivalent of the "Occupational Service." However, prescribed level titles assigned to job grades within each Career Band are fixed. B. Information Requirements As a prerequisite to any Job leveling/classification exercise, updated organization structure, inventory of jobs and job descriptions (JDs) of the Company are needed. This information is used as the basis for assessing job content, which is essential for establishing the leveling system. GOCCs will ensure that the information required is available during any position classification exercise to either evaluate newly created jobs or review the grades of jobs that have evolved. In lieu of job descriptions, GOCCs must identify personnel or a resource person who are knowledgeable and can very well explain the content of jobs that will be evaluated. C. Process Steps in Position Classification The highest Job Grade within a GOCC shall be assigned to the CEO based on the overall size of the GOCC. No other plantilla position in the GOCC shall be considered to be of equivalent rank. For all other positions, follow the procedure below: Step 1. Preliminary Evaluation: Prepare the job description/s and the organization structure/chart. Evaluate the jobs using the Position Classification System Guide. Understand carefully the descriptions or definitions for each band, career level and Job Grade and find the descriptions closest to the responsibilities/scope/content of the jobs being evaluated. (a) Determine the classification of the position using the Position Class Descriptions (CEO, Management, or Individual Contributor). (b) Determine the Career Band of the Job ( e.g., Supervisory/Management, Professional, etc.) using the Career Band Descriptions . (c) Determine the Career Level within the Career Band by looking at the closest fit or match ( e.g., For Management M1, M2, M3 or for Professional P3, P4, P5). (d) Determine the Job Grade within the Career Level by looking at the closest fit or match ( e.g., For M1 JG 10 or JG11, M2 JG12 or JG13, M3- JG 14 or JG15) For positions in the Executive Career Band, steps (c) and (d) above will depend on the Classification of the GOCC by Overall Size, as approved by GCG. Step 2. Job Titling: Depending on the result of the evaluation, refer to the titling format to determine the proper titling of jobs. The intent is to label jobs in same career band, career level and Job Grade with consistency while continuing to recognize their functional groups. Job titling in the Executive Career Band will follow respective organizational job titles currently used by the GOCC, i.e., AVP, VP, Director, Head. Step 3. Validation/Calibration: Compare the results of Job Grades of the jobs evaluated against similarly rated jobs to ensure that the Job Grades are aligned or have comparable value to the company. The comparison and validation may be done within same functional group ( i.e., only within HR or Operations) or across the company. Adjustments may be done based on the validation/calibration step. This aims to ascertain that jobs with more or less same responsibilities or nature of work are valued the same.
