Explanation: The calculation accounts for both the current continuous service and any prior government service that can be credited.
Details: Accurate length of service calculation is essential for determining eligibility for step increments, promotions, retirement benefits, and separation pay under Philippine civil service rules.
Tips: Enter the year you were appointed to your current position and any prior government service in years (can include fractions like 0.5 for 6 months). The calculator will compute your total creditable service.
Q1: What counts as prior service?
A: Prior service includes any previous permanent government appointments in the Philippines, whether continuous or not, that can be credited under civil service rules.
Q2: How is partial year service calculated?
A: Partial years can be entered as decimals (e.g., 0.5 for 6 months). The calculator will include them in the total.
Q3: Does this include military service?
A: Military service may be creditable under certain conditions, but special rules apply. Consult your HR office for specific cases.
Q4: What about leaves without pay?
A: Extended leaves without pay may affect service credit calculations. The calculator assumes continuous service unless adjusted in prior service input.
Q5: Is this calculation official for retirement purposes?
A: While this provides an estimate, official calculations should be verified with your agency's HR or the Civil Service Commission.
