Valerie Apatang, Civil Service commissioner representing Rota, speaking during a Civil Service Commission session last week praised Gov. Ralph DLG Torres for his support of the CNMI Government\u2019s Civil Service employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe governor has strongly supported the commission in its efforts to improve the employment situation for government employees. This past May the governor concurred with the commission\u2019s continued efforts to reinstate the annual within-grade increase program and lifted the freeze. The Civil Service Commission, on behalf of the government\u2019s civil service employees, thanks him for this action.\u201d<\/p>\n
The commission further commends Torres for his additional actions in support of the commission\u2019s efforts to maintain and strengthen the Commonwealth\u2019s Equal Employment Opportunity Program. <\/p>\n
By the issuance of his Equal Employment Opportunity directive in June of this year, the governor expressed his direction that all Commonwealth employees be treated fairly and in an unbiased manner and be ensured the opportunity to enjoy the rights and protections provided by federal and CNMI laws. <\/p>\n
Most recently in his Cabinet meeting, Torres stressed to government department heads the necessity of conducting performance evaluations and recognizing and rewarding exceptional performance. This support comes at the same time the commission\u2019s Office of Personnel Management is revising the existing performance rating reports to assist supervisors in more effectively evaluating and documenting employee performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s clear that the governor has the employees\u2019 best interests in mind,\u201d Civil Service Commission chair Herman Deleon Guerrero stated. \u201cHe has shown his support for the commission in its initiatives on behalf of the civil service employees to include reviving the annual within-grade increase program and the new salary schedule, recently approved by the House of Representatives and now with the Senate. The commission appreciates his continuing support and the progress being made to acknowledge government employees\u2019 contributions.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
