Can the HR of an agency hold the salary of a new employee pending the approval of his appointment papers by the CSC?

Question Sender: Hello GABOTAF! Tanong lang po. 3 to 4 months na na hindi natatanggap ng mother ko yong sahod nya from a national government agency.

Rules on Posting of Vacant Positions in Government Agencies

Rules on Posting of Vacant Positions in Government Agencies

[ad_1] Question: I wonder why government agencies replies or says na iinclude sa pool of applicants ang application due to lack of vacancies kahit ongoing process na application mo and nakailang set of exams and interviews kana. Pero sila tong post ng post na maraming vacant position.
