ANNEX A
CLASSIFICATION OF GEL HOLDERS
Executives occupy the highest positions in the organization, appointed and given the
responsibility to manage the affairs of an organization and the authority to make
decisions within specified bounds. This classification includes, but is not limited to, the
CEO, COO, CFO, members of the Board, President, Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice
Presidents, general managers or directors of various divisions, owners, and partners.
Such positions provide leadership to managers, supervisors, and professional staff.
Managerial employees are those who are vested with the powers or prerogatives to Iay down and execute management policies. They manage supervisors and professional employees and are usually in the officer level positions.
Supervisory employees are those who, in the interest of the employer, effectively
recommend managerial actions if the exercise of such authority is not merely routinary or cierical in nature but requires the use of independent judgment. They are tasked to monitor and regulate employees in their performance of assigned or delegated tasks; authorized to recommend and/or effect hiring, disciplining, promoting, punishing, rewarding and other associated activities regarding the employees in their
departments; and implement manager's decisions through the work of the
subordinates.
Rank and File employees are all other employees not falling within any of the above definitions. They usually perform routine assignments, use existing procedures to solve routine or standard problems, and receive instruction, guidance, and direction
from others.
PAGCOR reserves the right to validate and evaluate a position for proper
classification
