An ordinance amending certain positions in the plantilla of 2023 personnel, as to position titles, was passed by the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod on first reading Tuesday.
The ordinance said that on February 28, the Office of Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez endorsed the request of the Human Resource Management Services to revise certain positions of the plantilla personnel 2023 as to position titles/salary grade.
The request is for the Sangguniang Panlungsod to pass a resolution to correct the same, however the august body deemed it proper to pass an ordinance instead, since the said positions in the plantilla personnel 2023 were all adopted and passed through such legislative manner, it said.
The errors of the position titles and/or salary grades were all typographical mistakes and were inadvertently indicated during its preparation, the ordinance said.
The changes to be made in the plantilla of personnel will not in any way result to abolition, diminution, increase or merging of titles and/or salary grades of any employee, given also that some are still classified as new or vacant, it said.
The amended position tiles and/or salary grade in the plantilla of personnel 2023 of various city departments are as follows: project development assistant SG 4 (new) – under the City Mayor’s Office; administrative officer 2 SG 11 (new) – under the General Services Office; city government assistant department head ll SG 24/1 (vacant) – under Management Information Technology and Computer Services; and seven other position under different departments/offices.
The ordinance was authored by Councilor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, Simplicia Distrito and Al Victor Espino.*
