Civil Service Board
Personnel Management System
Payroll System

Prior to the
assistance government personnel records were managed
manually with each agency or institution maintaining its
own files. In addition to the lack of control within
each specific government body, comprehensive information
necessary for decision-making and planning was not
available, and reports that were prepared often took
weeks to produce.
The Center organized several meetings and workshops were
held with senior level employees of the oversight
agencies to discuss issues and problems related to human
resource management and to develop recommended
solutions.

In
order o improve internal communication and efficiency
and to enhance citizen awareness of the work of the CSB,
a website was created. Studies and research summaries
are published on the agency website as well as
recruitment examination announcements and results.
Citizens can also address concerns and complaints to
government officials directly through the internet.
Authorized staff can access the Civil Service Board’s
Personnel Management System for statistical information
via the website as well. |
Following these meetings and workshops,
the information regarding civil servants needed by the Civil
Service Board was redefined and workshops were held for
senior level employees dealing with personnel issues from
each agency to discuss the best ways of gathering,
verifying, and approving this employee data.
Based on the discussions and the conclusions of the
meetings and workshops held with the agency employees, the
Center developed the Personnel
Management System taking into consideration the
issues addressed throughout the assistance efforts. The
system offers a modern tool for managing the human resources
of the three government sectors: ministries and public
administration; public institutions; and major
municipalities (Beirut, Tripoli, and others). Detailed and
accurate information for each civil servant can now be
maintained by the Civil Service Board, and harmonized with
that of other government agencies utilizing the system
including the other key oversight agencies, the Court of
Audit and the Central Inspection Board.
A Payroll System that is
directly linked to the Personnel Management System has also been developed. All
information impacting the determination of payroll is
registered in the Personnel Management System, with changes to any of those files
automatically reflected in the payroll files without
multiple updates being required. In addition to the
increased internal control and efficiency as a result of the
assistance efforts, accurate information is now more widely
available for decision-makers to use in formulating public
policy,
