Designation/Transfer of Officials

October 19, 1987 REVENUE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 10-87 SUBJECT : Designation/Transfer of Officials TO : All Internal Revenue Officers and Employees It has increasingly come to the attention of this Office that proposed travel assignment orders/special orders are sometimes made contrary to the provisions of Executive Order No. 1042 and its implementing Rules which provide that at no instance should an official receiving a lower salary (occupy a lower position) supervise others occupying a higher position than his. acd This Office holds the premise that top officials recommending designations and/or transfers are responsible officials and act in accordance with policy and in line with rules and can be relied upon by top management to exercise sound judgment which is expected in the discharge of their executive functions. It is a reflection on the degree of trust reposed on such officials that assignment orders presented to the undersigned for signature are approved. Complaints and protests reaching this Office show that this trust is not entirely deserved. In view of the foregoing, no travel assignment order/special order for the designation of officials shall be approved unless the proposed order is supported by the following documents: 1. Recommendation from the immediate supervisor of the officer/employee justifying such assignment. 2. Comparative data showing the following: 2.1 Names of the proposed designate and the names of those of the same or higher level positions in his present office as well as those in the office to which he is proposed to be assigned. 2.2 Their present items and salaries. 2.3 Their present designations, if any. 2.4 Assignment history and relevant experience. 2.5 Qualifications, including performance rating. Only designations/assignments in conformity with Executive Order No. 1042 and its implementing Rules shall henceforth be approved. casia Please be guided accordingly. (SGD.) BIENVENIDO A. TAN, JR.
