PHILIPSBURG - The Island Government is currently going through its Formatiebelied (Formation Policy), out of which is being prepared job descriptions and then job grading for everyone in the civil service.
The reason for these changes is making strides in trying to improve the government apparatus, and thereby increasing the productivity within the civil service core in a fair manner.
Commissioner Maria Buncamper-Molanus referred to the current developments. “The hard work that the Department of Personnel & Organization is engaging will create a fairer work environment. But we have to go through the tedious process of constructing organic job descriptions, the grading system, and ultimately determining in a fair and objective manner the particular pay scale that someone will be in.”
“It provides the management of the government civil servants with tools,” Commissioner Buncamper-Molanus said, “that will be balanced and not subjective. This is where we would like to take the government into a more equitable operation.”
The FUWA system is being used to make job descriptions and job grading. It consists of 14 categories, and each category is rated from 1 to 5. In turn, based on these rating, a remuneration system is devised and determine.
Some of them are: number and nature of contacts that you need to do the job, kind of tasks, effect of decisions, knowledge, among other factors.
Luud Hakkens, of Personnel & Organization, Policy Consultant, said that the policy is about describing the job, and not the person. “Making job descriptions for everyone would be ineffective and not practical nor fair; therefore, to be fair and objective while being efficient, general job descriptions are being constructed; thereby the job description and the increasing of salaries becomes a very fair and objective matter,” Hakkens said.
These upgradings are all part of a larger improvement of the Government Civil Service, namely: part of the Information Management System that P & O is currently engaged in as well. Thus there are several programs that are being executed in a parallel way.
