1 INTRODUCTION TO CORES
1.1 THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW COMPENSATION

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
1.1.1 The need for change

Prior to the implementation of the Public Service Regulations, 1999
salaries of employees in the Public Service were centrally determined.
Factors such as academic qualifications and experience within the public
service of employees largely determined the grading of occupations and
differences in salaries. These factors effectively discriminated against
people who had faced discrimination in education and in access to
government jobs.
The previous system attempted to ensure equal pay for equal work by
imposing uniform job descriptions by occupation across the public service.
This approach blocked the development of new service delivery systems in
the following ways:
Departments had to slot all jobs into pre-determined centralised service
dispensations known as Personnel Administration Standards (PAS’s),
rather than re-organising work to meet the demands of new policies.
The PAS’s over-emphasised specific formal qualifications and neglected
other indicators of competency, such as experience outside the public
service, alternative qualifications, or informal training. As a result, they
excluded highly competent people from public-service jobs.
Amendments to PAS’s had to be negotiated centrally, which clogged up
central negotiations and caused delays in reorganising work to implement
new policies.
Career paths for lower level workers were absent in PAS’s and promotion
opportunities for most of these employees were almost non-existent.
1.1.2 The New Regulatory Framework

The 1997 and 1998 amendments to the Public Service Act aimed to
overcome the over centralisation of the Public Service. They shifted
control of work organisation from the Public Service Commission to
executing authorities. The new legislative framework was incompatible
with the old Public Service Regulations, the Public Service Staff Code and
the PAS’s.
New Public Service Regulations were consequently developed, in line with
the amended Act, and implemented with effect from 1 July 1999. Matters
of mutual interest, including grading for occupations, were left to collective
agreements.
In this context, the new compensation management system supplement
4
the new legislative framework and comprise of the following four
components:
(i) The Public Service Regulations, 1999

The new Regulations conceptualise the determination of salaries in the
Public Service on two levels.
First, the Minister for the Public Service and Administration determines on
a centralised level (a) salary scale(s) and allowances for all employees
who fall within the ambit of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 in the course of
the relevant collective bargaining process.
Second, executing authorities determine the grading of jobs within the
framework contained in the Regulations and collective agreements.
The Labour Relations Act (1995) defines the negotiations process required
for the determination of salaries in the public service. The sections of the
PAS related to grading remain in force as a collective agreement until
renegotiated.
(ii) Job evaluation
The Regulations implement a job evaluation system to determine the
comparative value of jobs. The system aims to entrench the principle of
equal pay for work of equal value.
A job evaluation system rates jobs according to specified criteria, so that
the value of the jobs to the employer can be compared. It does not
consider the performance of individuals in the job, or whether the job is
appropriately defined.
The job evaluation system known as EQUATE has been customised for
the needs and circumstances of our public service. It evaluates jobs on the
basis of the following five factors:
q Responsibility
q Thinking Demands
q Knowledge
q Communication and contacts
q Environment.
To evaluate a job, trained personnel conduct an interview of the job holder
and complete a questionnaire. They then process the data with a
computer software system to allocate a numerical value, known as a job
weight, to the post.
During the development of the EQUATE system approximately 1000 posts
in the Public Service, representing most large occupational classes, were
evaluated. The results of this benchmark study were utilised to link salary
ranges (grades) to job weight ranges.
(iii) Collective agreements
In terms of the Public Service Laws Amendment Act, 1998 the old Public
Service Regulations and Public Service Staff Code are being repealed and
5
replaced with the new Public Service Regulations. The repealed Public
Service Regulations and Public Service Staff Code as well as other
associated prescripts regulated issues of mutual interest such as benefits
and allowances. As provided in the new Public Service Regulations,
collective agreements will regulate matters of mutual interest.
This strategy aims to promote clarity because collective agreements can
use relatively direct language and disentangle directives to managers from
commitments to employees. Changes or amendments to the collective
agreements must be negotiated in the relevant council, either the PSCBC
or a sectoral council.
The collective agreement on remuneration, allowances and benefits
(resolution 3/99) has two main parts.
q An extensive section replaces provisions on allowances and benefits in
the former Public Service Regulations, Staff Code and the PAS.
q A separate section includes an agreement to negotiate grading and
promotions in the relevant sectoral or departmental council. It sets
guidelines for upgrading and downgrading positions.
This agreement essentially constitutes an agreement to retain existing
grading and rank or leg promotions for occupations included in the PAS
until they are renegotiated. Negotiations on grading or regrading would
then take place in the appropriate council, depending on the location of
people in the occupation. Newly defined positions that do not fit an
occupation defined by the PAS would be graded using the COREs and
EQUATE job-evaluation system, with consultation or negotiation with
labour if necessary.
(iv) Codes of Remuneration (COREs)
In the past, departments could use the PAS to define new jobs and set
remuneration levels. The COREs aim to provide improved advice with
respect to the definition and grading of jobs, without reinstituting this
prescriptive framework. They also establish a new system for categorising
employment, in order to analyse trends in public-service employment.
The COREs therefore include three parts:
q A link between salary ranges and job-weight ranges derived from
PERSAL.
q A description of normal competencies and indicators of competency by
salary level, which effectively defines promotion requirements from
level 1 to level 15 in all major occupations.
q An occupational code, which will be included on PERSAL for individual
employees.
Consultation in respect of the development of COREs has been achieved
by submitting the COREs at strategic stages of the developmental process
6
on three different occasions to departments to provide them with
opportunities for inputs and comments. Two workshops with trade unions
and workshops with focus groups of employees were also held.
1.2 OBJECTIVES
The COREs seek to support:
q Improved managerial decision making in respect of remuneration and
employment by –
Ø linking competencies to salary levels by major occupations;
Ø identifying key indicators of competencies for occupations; and
Ø giving information in an easily accessible format.
q Improved career development in major occupations for employees at all
levels, especially by indicating how lower graded workers can progress
to major production groups by obtaining new competencies, and by
delineating career paths for occupational streams.
q More appropriate work organisation by helping managers to enrich job
descriptions.
q The establishment of internationally recognised occupational categories
to support analysis of employment trends, so that the public service can
track developments and needs.
q The linkage of COREs to a qualifications framework to make it easier
for public servants at all levels to obtain evidence of competency to
support their career progression.
1.3 OVERVIEW
The complete set of COREs consist of 21 COREs for employees employed

in terms of the Public Service Act, 1994 and three COREs for line function
personnel in the Department of Safety and Security, Department of
Correctional Services and the Department of Defence. The Department of
Defence refers to its CORE as a Personnel Management Code (PMC).
The 21 COREs for Public Service Act personnel are contained in five
volumes. The table below provides an overview.

1.4 FORMAT AND LAYOUT OF CORES

All COREs have been developed within the parameters of a systematic
framework. The result of this is consistency and uniformity in respect of
the layout of all 24 COREs. The most important aspects of the format of
the COREs are described below in more detail.
1.4.1 Cover
(i) Title
The title of each CORE is reflected by the occupational category on the
first page of a CORE, e.g. Administrative Line Function and Support
Personnel. CORE titles are generic in nature to include all jobs within a
particular functional field.
(ii) General scope of service delivery
The general scope of service delivery outlines, in broad terms, the outputs
of the employees appointed in accordance with a particular CORE.
(iii) Notes
Provision has been made in the first part of a CORE to flag the following
important transverse matters by means of notes:
9
q Requirements for employment

q Statutory requirements
q Salary codes.
(iv) Overview of career path possibilities
A graphic exposition indicates career path possibilities between major
occupational groups covered in a specific CORE. A synopsis of what is
needed to progress to another major occupational group is also provided.
(v) Profile of major groups
This part of the CORE contains a concise description of the major
occupational groups dealt with in the CORE and a quick reference of
where to find the guidelines in respect of typical jobs.
1.4.2 Content
The content of a CORE is presented in tabular form and hinges, holistically
seen, on two dimensions i.e. a vertical dimension and a horizontal
dimension.
(i) Vertical dimension
The various layers, or levels, of a CORE represents the vertical dimension.
All COREs span from salary ranges 1 to 15 with the exception of the
CORE for Management and General Support Personnel which also
includes salary range 16 to provide for Heads of Department.
The prescripts in a CORE are provided per salary range and are therefore
part of the vertical dimension. The prescriptive section contains the
following information:
q Salary ranges
q Job Weight Ranges
q Salary codes
q Occupational classification codes.
In order to effect the payment of salaries by means of PERSAL and
PERSOL departments will have to utilise both the salary code and the
relevant occupational classification code of an employee.
(ii) Horizontal dimension
The horizontal dimension of a CORE contains the guidelines. The
information contained in the guidelines of COREs is advice provided by the
Department of Public Service and Administration. This information is multi-
purpose in nature and should inform decision making in respect of various
human resources matters at departmental level. The Public Service
Regulations, 1999, indicate that an executing authority may substitute the
competencies and requirements in the guidelines of a CORE with its own
requirements and competencies. The information is organised and
presented per major occupational group. The guidelines consist of the
following elements:
10
(aa) Generic job content
Employees who are on the same salary range in the same CORE
often perform divergent jobs but there is something that they have in
common, which constitutes the generic aspect of their jobs. The
following elements are covered in this column:
q Capacity in which an employee is utilised
q Autonomy of an employee in her/his job
q Responsibilities in respect of financial resources, equipment and
machinery, stores, livestock, land and buildings
q Advice
q Type of job information utilised by an employee
q Level on which problems are dealt with
q Extent of planning expected from an employee
q Level of decisions that are made
q Nature of interaction with clients/staff
q Nature of supervision/management of staff.
Not all these elements are dealt with on each level of a CORE. It is
for example not normally required of lower graded employees to
provide advice and manage subordinates.
(bb) Job outputs
This section of a CORE gives typical examples of important job
outputs expected from employees at each grade.
(cc) Competency profile
The competency profile indicates the competencies required to
deliver the job outputs referred to in subparagraph (bb) under the
following headings:
q Knowledge
q Skills
q Communication (verbal and non-verbal)
q Creativity.
(dd) Indicators of competency
This section suggests indicators of competencies typically needed
for specific grades in the CORE. The following are covered:
q Formal qualifications
q Training (other than formal qualifications)
q Experience
q Statutory requirements.
11
1.4.3 Addenda
Two documents accompany each CORE and should be read with the
relevant CORE.
(i) Dimensions of knowledge
This document indicates different dimensions of the knowledge referred to
in the competency profile.
(ii) Guide: Transition to CORE
This document indicates which of the occupations that existed before the
introduction of the COREs can be covered by a particular CORE. A
breakdown of ranks and post classes per salary range is also given. The
document is not an integral part of the CORE and will not be updated and
amended in future. It is, however, a key document in creating an initial
understanding of the CORE.
1.5 REMUNERATION IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE
1.5.1 Salary determination and the CORE

The CORE gives the link between salary ranges and job weight ranges.
The Public Service Regulations, 1999 stipulate that the commencing salary
of an employee should be set at the minimum notch of the salary range
attached to the relevant grade, unless the salary is inadequate in terms of
the criteria in Part V.C.3 of the Regulations. The sixteen salary ranges
with the various salary notches, which are effective from 1 July 1999, are
contained in the document at Annexure A.
The CORE also provides advice with regard to the generic job content,
examples of job outputs, competency profile and learning indicators of
typical jobs linked to a specific salary range in a CORE. It should be noted
that this part provides only advice. Where the job contents of a specific
post does not correlate with the information contained in a CORE, the
result of a job evaluation should always take precedence in determining
the salary attached to a particular post.
1.5.2 The Public Service and the labour market

In determining salaries, the overall labour market and normal incomes in
the public service provide an important context.
According to the 1996 census published by Statistics South Africa (SSA),
South Africa has a total population of 40 million. The economically active
population was 14 million. The Public Service employs 1.1 million people,
of whom around three quarters are teachers, health workers, police or
defence force employees.
12
A breakdown of the salaries earned for the following categories of
personnel in the Public Service is provided below:

1.6 CORES AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Prior to the implementation of the Public Service Regulations career
pathing in the Public Service was confined to what the system of PAS’s
allowed. PAS’s contained post class structures which were linked to
appointment and promotion requirements and limited career progression to
what was possible in terms of the post class structure for a specific
occupation of a specific PAS. Many occupational classes were narrowly
defined, even though there were an overlap of job content, and this had a
detrimental effect on career progression. Lateral career progression
possibilities were also not strongly emphasised in the PAS’s.
The way in which lower graded workers – around a fifth of all public
servants - were classified in PAS’s effectively limited their careers to salary
13
ranges one and two. The PAS’s only provided for promotion to first-level
supervisory posts, which number about a fifth as many as production
posts. Career progression opportunities after that were even smaller,
since the ratio of second level supervision posts to first level supervision
posts is around 1 to 15.
The majority of other occupational classes had fairly well defined career
paths (taking the inherent shortcomings of the previous system into
consideration) but once the majority of employees reached salary range 8
they could only progress further if they changed roles from production to
middle management.
In contrast to the PAS, a standardised competency based career system
like the CORE ensures a common understanding on the requirements for
job effectiveness, identifies developmental opportunities and provides a
road map for employees to plan their careers using personal development
plans. For managers, it should help in planning to fill future vacancies.
Once career progression patterns are identified, more systematic
forecasting of staffing requirements is possible. Career planning and
development can also contribute to meet affirmative action objectives by
preparing members of designated groups for career progression.
Career development was a major consideration in the design and
development of COREs. All employees, regardless of their level in the
hierarchy, who perform a job in one of the 24 demarcated fields of service
delivery have been clustered together in a CORE to foster career
development. All COREs consequently contain the following categories of
employees:
q Support personnel
q Production workers
q Professionals/specialists
q Supervisors/middle management
q Senior Management
This structure ends the disjunction in the career paths of employees in the
Public Service.
COREs define outputs and competencies on the various levels, which
provides a basis for career pathing. Overall, the linking of salaries to
competencies establishes a new paradigm and lays the foundation for the
linking of COREs to the National Qualifications Framework.
Because most public servants engage in producing goods and services,
there are many more career progression opportunities in production
capacities than in supervisory or managerial capacities. Thus, especially
for lower-level workers, it is important to target promotion into production
jobs for purposes of career pathing. Each CORE contains for this purpose
an overview of career progression opportunities between the major
occupational groups covered in that particular CORE. A synopsis of what
employees need to progress or move to another major occupational group
is also provided.
14
Career paths should represent realistic progression possibilities, whether
lateral or upward, without implied “normal” rates of progression or forced
technical specialisation. Career paths should furthermore be flexible and
responsive to changes in job content, strategic objectives, organisational
structures and management needs. The following career path possibilities
exist:
a. Between different COREs
COREs should not be regarded as silos and career movement is
possible between different COREs. In fact, in view of the nature of
COREs it may be necessary for an employee to be linked to more
than one CORE in the course of her/his career.
b. Between different occupational groups in the same CORE
The nature of the jobs that are performed within a major
occupational group determine to a large extent the possible scope
of progression. Elementary workers have for example limited
progression possibilities and should be linked to other major
occupational groups who perform production jobs.
c. Within a major occupational group in the same CORE
Major occupational groups consist of a myriad of related
occupations. Some of these occupations require similar
competencies and a hierarchy of jobs within a major occupational
group are referred to as an occupational stream. A major
occupational group can consist of various occupational streams.
Career pathing within an occupational stream requires relatively little
additional training since the competencies of jobs are related.
1.7 LINKAGE OF POSTS TO CORES

The Public Service Regulations, 1999 compel executing authorities to link
all posts in her or his department to a CORE. In order to expedite the
transition of employees from PAS’s to COREs the Department of Public
Service and Administration have made arrangements with PERSAL and
PERSOL to translate approximately 90% of employees centrally. The
remaining 10% of employees will have to be dealt with by the various
executing authorities.
The authority to link posts to COREs is vested in the executing authorities.
If departments need to translate employees to another CORE, they should
make the necessary arrangements with Persal/Persol without the
intervention of the Department of Public Service and Administration.
A mechanistic approach should not be followed in the linkage of
employees to COREs. The circumstances of each employee should be
taken into account.
In particular, categories of employees with lesser qualifications, such as
cleaners or auxiliary service officers, could be accommodated in a number
of different COREs. In these cases, as far as possible the potential for
realistic career pathing should determine which CORE should be utilised.
In addition, an analysis of the key outputs of an employee could assist in
deciding between two or more COREs.
15
Other factors to take into consideration include:
(a) Natural association and field of work
Certain occupations work closely together. An example in this
regard is the nursing profession where professional nurses, staff
nurses and nursing assistants are dependent on each other.
(b) Extent to which groups co-operate
Within the same working environment, groups of personnel co-
operate who are not necessarily in the same field of work.
Examples in this regard are the cleaners and laundry personnel in
hospitals who co-operate with medical staff to provide the outputs
required in the health sector.
(c) Professional requirements
Certain professions have unique professional requirements
applicable to them. Examples in this regard are the registration
requirements for medical practitioners at the Health Professionals
Council of South Africa.
(d) Similarity of competencies required
In certain occupations, the competencies required to perform the
outputs expected are to a large extent similar. An example in this
regard is personnel in the financial sector. To a large degree they
are all in possession of accounting skills.
(e) Horizontal/vertical mobility
The ability of persons to move from one occupation to another in the
same group or to be promoted to a position normally associated
with another occupation is taken into account. Through certain
bridging courses a staff nurse can for example register as a
professional nurse.
(f) Uniqueness of certain groups of personnel
Certain categories of employees are unique as a result of the nature
of the work that they perform and the environment in which they
have to function e.g. aviation personnel.
2 THE OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
2.1 BACKGROUND
With the implementation of the Public Service Regulations, 1999 the 322
PAS’s utilised in the Public Service have been repealed and employees
are now classified in 24 COREs. COREs are, however, much more
generic in the definition of occupations and it does not provide a sufficient
basis to analyse employment in the public service. To capture more
detailed information on occupational structure, a new set of occupational
categories has been developed.
16
2.2 THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD CLASSIFICATION OF
OCCUPATIONS
The classification system approved by the Minister for the Public Service
and Administration is based on the International Standard Classification of
Occupations (ISCO-88). ISCO-88 was developed by the International
Labour Organisation (ILO) in 1968 and is continuously updated and
renewed.
ISCO-88, which is also utilised by Statistics South Africa (SSA) in South
Africa, has the following objectives:
(i) To serve as a model for countries developing or revising their
national occupational classifications.
(ii) To facilitate international communication about occupations by
supplying labour statisticians with a tool to make national and
international comparative analysis.
(iii) To make it possible for national and international occupational data
to be produced in a form which can be useful for research.
The framework necessary for designing and constructing the occupational
classification system has been based on two main concepts: the concept
of the kind of work performed or job, and the concept of skill.
(i) Jobs
The concept of job is defined as a set of tasks and duties executed, or
meant to be executed, by one person. A set of jobs whose main tasks and
duties are characterised by a high degree of similarity constitutes an
occupation. Persons are classified by occupation through their relationship
to a past, present or future job.
(ii) Skills
The concept of skill is defined as the ability to carry out the tasks and
duties of a given job. The following two dimensions have been identified in
this regard:
q Skill level – which is a function of the complexity and range of the tasks
and duties involved; and
q Skill specialisation – defined by the field of knowledge required, the
tools and machinery used, the materials worked on or with, as well as
the kinds of goods and services produced.
On the basis of the skill concept thus defined, occupational groups were
delineated and aggregated.
Bearing in mind the international character of the classification, only four
broad skill levels were defined. They were given operational definitions in
terms of the educational categories and levels which appear in the
International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED).
The use of ISCED categories to define the four skill levels does not imply
that the skills necessary to perform the tasks and duties of a given job can
be acquired only through formal education. The skills may be, and often
are, acquired through informal training and experience. In addition, it
17
should be emphasised that the focus in ISCO-88 is on the skills required to
carry out the tasks and duties of an occupation – and not on whether a
worker in a particular occupation is more or less skilled than another
worker in the same occupation.
Therefore, as a rule, the following operational definitions of the four ISCO-
88 skill levels apply where the necessary occupational skills are acquired
through formal education or vocational training.
The first ISCO skill level was defined with reference to ISCED category 1,
comprising primary education which generally begins at the age of 5, 6 or 7
and lasts about five years.
The second ISCO skill level was defined with reference to ISCED
categories 2 and 3, comprising first and second stages of secondary
education. The first stage begins at the age of 11 or 12 and lasts about
three years, while the second stage begins at the age of 14 or 15 and also
lasts about three years. A period of on-the-job training and experience
may be necessary, sometimes formalised in apprenticeships. This period
may supplement the formal training or replace it partly or in some cases,
wholly.
The third ISCO skill level was defined with reference to ISCED category 5,
(category 4 in ISCED has been deliberately left without content) comprising
education which begins at the age of 17 or 18, lasts about four years, and
leads to an award not equivalent to a first university degree.
The fourth ISCO skill level was defined with reference to ISCED categories
6 and 7, comprising education which also begins at the age of 17 or 18,
lasts about three, four or more years, and leads to a university or
postgraduate university degree, or the equivalent.
2.3 DESIGN AND STRUCTURE OF THE OCCUPATIONAL

CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE
2.3.1 General approach

The approach followed with the development of an occupational
classification system for the Public Service was to align it as close as
possible with ISCO-88 to make international comparisons possible. The
core principles of the latter system i.e. the nature of jobs and skill levels
have consequently been utilised to design a classification system.
The ILO recognises that the national qualification system of countries
differs and certain amendments had to be made to reflect the national
qualification system in South Africa. This was necessary due to the fact
that some occupations like Health Therapists in South Africa have a higher
skill level than level 3 as indicated by ISCO-88.
ISCO-88 has furthermore been designed to reflect all possible occupations
in the open labour market in a country. Those occupations not employed
in the Public Service eg. hawkers, bankers, street vendors etc., have been
excluded from the classification system.
18
In some cases, it was necessary to give a more detailed breakdown for
certain occupations in order to meet the information needs of the Public
Service.
2.3.2 Structure of the system

The approach adopted with the occupational classification system resulted
in a pyramid whose hierarchical structure consists of ten major groups at
the top level of aggregation, subdivided into 36 sub-major groups, 96 minor
groups, 93 unit groups and 19 sub-unit groups.

Personnel
Of the ten major groups, nine have been linked to skill levels – which, as
mentioned earlier, were given operational definitions by reference to the
educational categories and levels of the International Standard
Classification of Education. The concept of skill level was not applied in
the case of the Major group, National Security Services and Custodian
personnel. The reason for this was that based on information from national
sources, skills for executing tasks and duties of occupations belonging to
this major group vary to such an extent that it would be impossible to link
them with any of the four broad skill levels. In the document at Annexure B
a breakdown of all the major groups, sub-major groups, minor groups, unit
groups and sub-unit groups with occupational classification codes are
provided.
19
2.3.3 Summary of major groups

The following briefly outlines the major groups and is meant to facilitate the
interpretation of the classification. The information given here should not
be regarded as a substitute for the more detailed descriptions of
occupational groups.
(i) Elementary occupations
Elementary occupations are normally responsible for routine, often manual,
tasks. With few exceptions only limited personal initiative and judgement
are required. The main tasks consist of the delivery of messages/goods,
cleaning, washing, pressing, property watching and working as labourers.
Most occupations in this group require skills at the first ISCO skill level.
(ii) Administrative Office Workers
This group comprises two clusters of occupations. The first cluster is
referred to as clerks and related personnel and includes occupations
whose main tasks require the knowledge and experience necessary to
organise, store, compare and retrieve information. The main tasks consist
of performing secretarial duties, operating word processors and other office
machines, recording and computing numerical data and performing a
number of customer-oriented clerical duties. Most occupations in this
category require skills varying between the second and third ISCO skill
level.
The second cluster is referred to as administrative policy and related
personnel and includes occupations whose main tasks are to formulate
and advise on government policies of an administrative nature,
formulate/administer laws, rules and regulations directly associated with
the policies and legislation of the employing institution. Employees in this
category are also responsible for inspections to ensure that regulations are
complied with. Most occupations in this group require skills varying
between the third and fourth ISCO skill level.
(iii) Professionals and Managers
This group includes occupations whose main tasks require a high level of
professional knowledge and experience in the fields of physical and life
sciences, or social sciences and humanities. The main tasks consist of
increasing the existing stock of knowledge, applying scientific and artistic
concepts and theories to the solution of problems, about the foregoing in a
systematic manner.
This group also includes various levels of managers. The lowest level of
managers’ main tasks usually includes planning, directing and co-
ordinating activities of components in a department, directing daily
operations, overseeing the selection, training and performance of staff,
liasing with managers of other components and in other departments and
representing the department in its dealings with other parts of the
organisation or with outside bodies. The second level of managers’ main
tasks usually include determining and formulating policies, planning,
20
directing and co-ordinating the general functioning of directorates/chief
directorates (or the equivalent thereof) with the help of other managers
under her/his control. The highest level of managers in this major group
are heads of departments/provincial departments who are accountable for
the effective and efficient management of departments/provincial
departments/organisational components indicated in schedule 1, 2 and 3 of
the Public Service Act, 1994. Most occupations in this major group require
skills at the fourth ISCO skill level.
(iv) Technicians and Associated Professionals
This group includes occupations whose main tasks require technical
knowledge and experience in one or more fields of physical and life
carrying out technical work connected with the application of concepts and
operational methods in the above-mentioned fields. Most occupations in
this major group require skills at either the third or fourth ISCO skill level.
(v) Service Workers
Service workers provide personal and protective services related to
housekeeping, catering, personal care, social auxiliary services, protection
against fire and unlawful acts, etc. Tasks performed include
housekeeping, food preparation, child care, care for persons at homes or
institutions, personal care, protection of individuals and property against
fire and unlawful acts. Most of the occupations included in this group
require skills at the second ISCO skill level.
(vi) Social, Natural, Technical and Medical Sciences Supplementary
and Support Personnel
Personnel in this major group normally apply their knowledge and skills as
part of supplementary and support functions directly associated with
Professionals and Technicians. They assist with supporting services like
operating specialised equipment/make preparations for specialised tasks
to be performed by Professionals/Technicians. They may also render
supplementary functions in e.g. the social services fields. Most
occupations in this group require skills at the second ISCO level.
(vii) Craft and Related Trades Workers
Craft and related trades workers apply their knowledge and skills in the
fields of construction, working with metals, erecting structures, maintaining
and repairing machinery, printing work and producing handicraft goods.
The work is carried out by using equipment/tools to reduce the physical
effort and time required for specific tasks, as well as to improve the quality
of the products. An understanding of the various stages of the production
processes, the materials and tools used and the nature and purpose of the
final product is required. Most occupations in this group will normally
require skills at the second or third ISCO skill level.
(viii) Drivers, Operators and Ships’ Crew
Personnel in this major group operate and monitor machinery and
equipment and execute deck duties on board vessels. They can also be
responsible for the driving of vehicles. The work mainly requires
experience and understanding of machinery, equipment, vehicles and
21
vessels. Supervision of other workers may be required. Most occupations
in this major group require skills at the second or third ISCO skill level.
(ix) National Security Services and Custodian Personnel
Included in this major group are members of the army, navy, airforce,
police and correctional services. No specific skill level has been linked to
this major group.
(x) Information Technology Personnel
Information Technology Personnel conduct research, plan, develop and
improve computer based information systems, software and related
concepts as well as maintain management systems such as databases to
ensure integrity and security of data. They also provide assistance to
users of micro-computers and standard software packages, control and
operate computers and peripheral equipment and carry out programming
tasks (complexity may vary) related with the installation and maintenance
of computer hardware and software. In some cases they may also receive
guidance from managers. Most occupations in this group will usually
require skills at the third ISCO skill level.
2.3.4 Occupations with a broad range of tasks and duties

Differences in the range of tasks and duties belonging to the same
occupation are, at national level, mostly determined by the size of the
establishment. For instance, in a small establishment typing and filing may
be combined with the duties of a receptionist into one single job, while in a
bigger enterprise they may constitute two or three separate jobs.
Occupational classifications – national as well as international – define
occupations, and occupational groups, by reference to the most common
combinations of tasks and duties, and therefore face a problem when, in
the case of some occupations, the range of tasks and duties does not
correspond to those specified in the classification.
In such cases ISCO-88 suggests application of the following rules:
(i) In cases where the tasks and duties performed require skills usually
obtained through different levels of training and experience, jobs
should be classified in accordance with those tasks and duties
which require the highest level of skills.
(ii) In cases where the tasks and duties are connected with different
stages of the production and distribution of goods process, tasks
and duties related to the production stage should take priority over
associated ones unless one of these tasks and duties
predominates.
2.3.5 Notes on particular occupations

Supervising occupations, as well as those of a forewoman or man and
team leaders, which are mainly concerned with the control of the
professional or technical quality of the work done, are classified together
22
with the jobs whose tasks they supervise. However, if the main tasks and
duties of a job consist of planning, organising, controlling and directing the
daily work activities of a group of subordinate workers, the occupation
should be considered as a managerial occupation and classified in the
major group Professionals and Managers.
Coaching occupations primarily concerned with training by continuous
observation, assessment and guidance are classified with the occupations
whose workers they instruct, in particular trade, craft or machine-operating
tasks.
Occupations concerned with research and development are classified
according to the field of specialisation in Professionals and Managers.
Apprentices and trainees are not classified according to the tasks and
activities actually performed but according to their future occupation. In the
case of those occupational classes in the Administrative Cadre where
provision was made for Pupil ranks e.g. Pupil Personnel Practitioner, they
were classified in terms of the tasks they perform. The reason is that the
rank was mainly created with a view to enable a person to obtain a formal
qualification to address recruitment problems that were encountered. It
can not be seen as a natural part of a career as e.g. apprentice in the
artisan environment.
2.4 LINKING POSTS TO THE OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION

SYSTEM
The Public Service Regulations, 1999 require executing authorities to link
all posts in their departments with an occupation from the occupational
classification system as well as with a CORE. Each CORE will give various
occupational classification codes for each salary range. The latter codes
are alpha-numeric and consist of 8 characters. These codes should be
used in combination with the salary codes provided for that particular
salary range.
In order to effect pay an employee’s salary via Persal, departments will
have to utilise both the salary codes and the occupational classification
codes.
If new jobs are created, or if existing jobs are regraded, it may happen that
the occupational classification code provided in a CORE for a particular
level will not accurately reflects the nature of the relevant job. In such
cases the most appropriate available occupational classification code
should be utilised as an interim arrangement and the Department of Public
Service and Administration should be provided with the necessary
information to update the occupational classification system and the
relevant CORE.
3 WAY FORWARD
The development of COREs is an evolutionary process. Due to the
magnitude of the task the development of COREs is dealt with in three
phases.
23
The objective with the first phase was to develop baseline COREs to fill the
void created by the repeal of PAS’s and to comply with the requirements of
the Public Service Regulations, 1999. This has been achieved with the
official introduction of COREs with effect from 1 July 1999.
The COREs developed thus far will be used as a springboard for the
second phase development. During this phase the content of the baseline
COREs will be scrutinised, validated and expanded by means of a series
of workshops/focus groups. The concept of career pathing will receive
particular attention and will be further expanded. In view thereof that the
COREs are voluminous consideration will be given to computerise COREs
and to make it available on an electronic medium, in addition to the paper
based system. A consultative approach will be followed and all
stakeholders and roleplayers will be approached to participate in this
process.
The objective with the third phase is to link the COREs to the work of the
Public Service Education and Training Authority and ultimately the National
Qualifications Framework.
The Occupational Classification System defines and classifies employees
in the Public Service in a new way. The relevant system introduce new
dimensions which have not been tested in the Public Service before and it
will consequently be necessary to establish a review process to deal with
exceptions. In view thereof that the COREs and the Occupational
Classification System are inextricably entwined the classification of
employees will be reviewed during the workshops/focus groups refer to in
the second phase development of COREs.
The COREs and the Occupational Classification System are issued by the
Minister for the Public Service and Administration in terms of the Public
Service Regulations, 1999. The responsibility to develop, renew and
maintain these systems is with Department of the Public Service and
Administration.

INTRODUCTION
1. PURPOSE OF THE GUIDE
This guide aims to help you understand how the CORE and the Occupational
Classification System should be utilised in appointing personnel and contribute
towards the managing of their careers in the Public Service.
2. HOW TO USE THE GUIDE
Part one of the guide gives you a basic overview and background to the new
Public Service Management Framework implemented with effect from
1 July 1999. It will help you to understand its vision and key features. You
should remember that the new management framework gives departments
powers to develop their own policies while taking into consideration the
requirements of the Public Service Regulations and collective agreements.
Part two of the guide gives you a basic overview of how to manage
compensation by utilising the CORE and the Occupational Classification
System.
PART 1: THE NEW FRAMEWORK
3. A PERSPECTIVE ON THE NEW PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENT

FRAMEWORK
3.1 The new framework is about changing the way in which the Public Service
previously worked to deliver/provide better services to our customers. The
new system focuses much more on the delivery of services opposed to a
preoccupation with rules and regulations that the Public Service was so well
known for. As a management tool the new system enables departments to
make appropriate decisions about how they can manage themselves.
Departments must develop its own human resource and work organisation
policies and practices according to its service delivery objectives and
circumstances.
3.2 The new approach is very different from the past when detailed policy was
determined centrally for the Public Service. The Public Service Staff Code and
the Public Service Regulations that were previously prescribed are with effect
from 1 July 1999 no longer applicable. Departments must now develop their
own policies pertaining to inter alia human resources and work organisation
taking the minimum requirements set out in the Public Service Regulations
into consideration. However, departments still need to consider those aspects
pertaining to benefits and allowances that have been included in collective
agreements. Departments should comply with the minimum requirements
prescribed in the Public Service Regulations in determining policies, plans and
practices. Departments will also have to consult with labour on those matters
that affect employees.
3.3 With the implementation of the new framework the responsibilities of the
Minister for Public Service and Administration were redefined. The Public
Service Commission will basically serve as an administrative watchdog which
2
will assist departments by monitoring and evaluating their human resource

and work organisation policies and practices. Powers that have traditionally
been held by the Public Service Commission have been rearranged between
the Minister for Public Service and Administration and executing authorities. It
defines their new powers and responsibilities in the following ways:
• The Minister will make policy, regulations and determinations for the Public
Service as a whole; and
• Executing authorities will have powers concerning internal human resource
and work organisation policies and practices.
3.4 The Public Service Regulations are issued by the Minister for Public Service
and Administration. They prescribe principles and measures about the way
departments must manage themselves. The Public Service Regulations
provide a broad framework, enabling departments to be innovative and
responsive to service delivery needs. The collective agreements are reached
through the bargaining process between the state as employer and employees
as represented by the various employee organisations. They include matters
of mutual interest and they are binding on departments.
3.5 The new management framework requires a new mindset. A paradigm shift is
required from the old rule and process bound thinking to a results orientated
culture. Departments should endeavour to reflect this new way of thinking in
their policies. The emphasis is moving from the administration of rules to
managing resources for better results. Departments must integrate their
planning with their strategic and operational objectives. Executing authorities
have the powers to develop policies and practices that:
• Support the core objectives of the department

• Remove barriers to effective and efficient service delivery
• Consider the circumstances of the department; and
• Meet the requirements of applicable prescripts, including legislation,
regulations and collective agreements.
Whereas executing authorities have received more powers and

responsibilities, the Public Service Regulations require greater accountability
and results.
PART 2: MANAGING COMPENSATION IN YOUR DEPARTMENT
4. NEW POWERS OF DEPARTMENTS
4.1 The new management framework gives departments significant powers

concerning the management of compensation. Departments have the power to
define jobs and to grade them. Various systems have been introduced by the
Public Service Regulations to ensure value for money and to improve the flow
of information. These systems include:
• Job Descriptions for all jobs in a department

• A job evaluation system that aims to ensure equal grading for work of
equal value
2
3
• Collective agreements to determine benefits and allowances which give

departments some flexibility to set policy.
• Codes of Remuneration (CORE’s) that introduces a new system of
categorising jobs and gives departments advice on job design and on
grading jobs.
4.2 In implementing the new systems departments must balance several

obligations, such as:
• They must take collective agreements into account

• In those cases where they have discretion they must establish policies and
practices that are consistent, equitable and fair to employees.
• They must also avoid unaffordable commitments by costing all measures
and carefully approving them.

6. THE OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND ITS ROLE
6.1 With the implementation of the Public Service Regulations, the PAS’s have
been repealed and employees are now classified in terms of the 24 CORE’s.
Since the CORE’s are generic in nature it does not provide a sufficient basis to
monitor employment trends in the Public Service. To overcome this problem a
new set of occupational categories have been developed. The approach
followed with the development of the system was to align it, as far as possible,
with the ISCO-88 International Standard Classification of Occupations which
was developed by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). This approach
also facilitates international comparisons. The core principles of the system
are the nature of the job and the skill levels required to do the job. Four
4
5
different skill levels are defined by ISCO, namely:
• The first ISCO skill level comprises primary education which generally
begins at the age of 5, 6 or 7 and lasts about five years.
• The second ISCO skill level comprises first and second stages of
secondary education. The first stage begins at the age of 11 or 12 and
lasts about three years, while the second stage begins at the age of 14 or
15 and also lasts about three years. A period of on-the-job training and
experience may be necessary, sometimes formalised in apprenticeships.
This period may supplement the formal training or replace it partly or in
some cases, wholly.
• The third ISCO skill level comprises education which begins at the age of
17 or 18, lasts about four years, and leads to an award not equivalent to a
first university degree.
• The fourth ISCO skill level comprises education which also begins at the
age of 17 or 18, lasts about three, four or more years, and leads to a
university or postgraduate university degree, or the equivalent.
6.2 The system consists of ten major groups, which are further divided into 36
sub-major groups, 96 minor groups, 93 unit groups and 19 sub unit groups. Of
the ten major groups, nine have been linked to skill levels. The concept of skill
level was not applied in the case of the Major group, National Security
Services and Custodian personnel. The reason for this was that based on
information from national sources, skills for executing tasks and duties of
occupations belonging to this major group vary to such an extent that it would
be impossible to link them with any of the four broad skill levels. An example
of the various levels of the occupational classification system is set out below:
MAJOR GROUP: PROFESSIONALS AND MANAGERS

SUB MAJOR GROUP MANAGERS AND RELATED PERSONNEL
MINOR GROUP MANAGERS
UNIT GROUP MIDDLE MANAGERS
SUB UNIT GROUP MIDDLE MANAGEMENT: HEALTH
6.3 The following briefly outlines the ten major groups of the Occupational
Classification System:
• Elementary occupations
Elementary occupations are normally responsible for routine, often

manual, tasks. With few exceptions, only limited personal initiative and
judgement are required. The main tasks consist of the delivery of
messages/goods, cleaning, washing, pressing, and property watching and
working as labourers. Most occupations in this group require skills at the
first ISCO skill level.
5
6
• Administrative Office Workers
This group comprises two clusters of occupations. The first cluster is

referred to as clerks and related personnel and includes occupations
whose main tasks require the knowledge and experience necessary to
organise, store, compare and retrieve information. The main tasks consist
of performing secretarial duties, operating word processors and other
office machines, recording and computing numerical data and performing
a number of customer-oriented clerical duties. Most occupations in this
category require skills varying between the second and third ISCO skill
level.
The second cluster is referred to as administrative policy and related

personnel and includes occupations whose main tasks are to formulate
and advise on government policies of an administrative nature,
formulate/administer laws, rules and regulations directly associated with
the policies and legislation of the employing institution. Employees in this
category are also responsible for inspections to ensure that regulations
are complied with. Most occupations in this group require skills varying
between the third and fourth ISCO skill level.
• Professionals and Managers
This group includes occupations whose main tasks require a high level of
professional knowledge and experience in the fields of physical and life
increasing the existing stock of knowledge, applying scientific and artistic
concepts and theories to the solution of problems in a systematic manner.
This group also includes various levels of managers. The main tasks of the
lowest level of managers (middle managers), usually includes the planning,
directing and co-ordinating activities of components in a department.
Directing daily operations, overseeing the selection, training and
performance of staff, liasing with managers of other components and in
other departments and representing the department in its dealings with
other parts of the organisation or with outside bodies. The main tasks of the
second level of managers (senior managers) usually include determining
and formulating policies, planning, directing and co-ordinating the general
functioning of directorates/chief directorates (or the equivalent thereof) with
the help of other managers under her/his control. The highest level of
managers in this major group are heads of departments/provincial
departments who are accountable for the effective and efficient
management of departments/provincial departments/organisational
components indicated in schedule 1, 2 and 3 of the Public Service Act,
1994. Most occupations in this major group require skills at the fourth ISCO
skill level.
• Technicians and Associated Professionals
This group includes occupations whose main tasks require technical

knowledge and experience in one or more fields of physical and life
carrying out technical work connected with the application of concepts and
6
7
operational methods in the above-mentioned fields. Most occupations in

this major group require skills at either the third or fourth ISCO skill level.
• Service Workers
Service workers provide personal and protective services related to

housekeeping, catering, personal care, protection against fire and unlawful
acts, etc. Tasks performed include housekeeping, food preparation, child
care, care for persons at homes or institutions, personal care, protection of
individuals and property against fire and unlawful acts. Most of the
occupations included in this group require skills at the second ISCO skill
level.
• Social, Natural, Technical and Medical Sciences Supplementary and

Support Personnel
Personnel in this major group normally apply their knowledge and skills as
part of supplementary and support functions directly associated with
Professionals and Technicians. They assist with supporting services like
operating specialised equipment/make preparations for specialised tasks to
be performed by Professionals/Technicians. They may also render
supplementary functions in e.g. the social services fields. Most occupations
in this group require skills at the second ISCO level.
• Craft and Related Trades Workers
Craft and related trades workers apply their knowledge and skills in the
fields of construction, working with metals, erecting structures, maintaining
and repairing machinery, printing work and producing handicraft goods.
The work is carried out by using equipment/tools to reduce the physical
effort and time required for specific tasks, as well as to improve the quality
of the products. An understanding of the various stages of the production
processes, the materials and tools used and the nature and purpose of the
final product is required. Most occupations in this group will normally require
skills at the second or third ISCO skill level.
• Drivers, Operators and Ships’ Crew
Personnel in this major group operate and monitor machinery and

equipment and execute deck duties on board vessels. They can also be
responsible for the driving of vehicles. The work mainly requires experience
and understanding of machinery, equipment, vehicles and vessels.
Supervision of other workers may be required. Most occupations in this
major group require skills at the second or third ISCO skill level.
• National Security Services and Custodian Personnel
Included in this major group are members of the army, navy, airforce, police
and correctional services. No specific skill level has been linked to this
major group.
7
8
• Information Technology Personnel
Information Technology Personnel conduct research, plan, develop and

improve computer based information systems, software and related
concepts as well as maintain management systems such as databases to
ensure integrity and security of data. They also provide assistance to users
of micro-computers and standard software packages, control and operate
computers and peripheral equipment and carry out programming tasks
(complexity may vary) related with the installation and maintenance of
computer hardware and software. In some cases they may also receive
guidance from managers. Most occupations in this group will usually
require skills at the third ISCO skill level.
6.4 Differences in the range of tasks and duties belonging to the same occupation
are, at national level, mostly determined by the size of the establishment. For
instance, in a small establishment typing and filing may be combined with the
duties of a receptionist into one single job, while in a bigger enterprise they
may constitute two or three separate jobs. Occupational classifications –
national as well as international – define occupations, and occupational
groups, by reference to the most common combinations of tasks and duties,
and therefore face a problem when, in the case of some occupations, the
range of tasks and duties does not correspond to those specified in the
classification. It is suggested that in such cases the following rules be applied:
• In cases where the tasks and duties performed require skills usually
obtained through different levels of training and experience, jobs should be
classified in accordance with those tasks and duties which require the
highest level of skills.
• In cases where the tasks and duties are connected with different stages of
the production and distribution of goods, processes, tasks and duties
related to the production stage should take priority over associated ones
unless one of these tasks and duties predominates.
Notes on particular occupations

• Supervising occupations, as well as those of a foreman and team leaders,
which are mainly concerned with the control of the professional or technical
quality of the work done, are classified together with the jobs whose tasks
they supervise. However, if the main tasks and duties of a job consist of
planning, organising, controlling and directing the daily work activities of a
group of subordinate workers, the occupation should be considered as a
managerial occupation and classified in the major group Professionals and
Managers.
• Coaching occupations primarily concerned with training by continuous

observation, assessment and guidance are classified with the occupations
whose workers they instruct, in particular trade, craft or machine-operating
tasks.
• Occupations concerned with research and development are classified

according to the field of specialisation in Professionals and Managers.
8
9
• Apprentices and trainees are not classified according to the tasks and
activities actually performed but according to their future occupation. In the
case of those occupational classes in the Administrative Cadre where
provision was made for Pupil ranks e.g. Pupil Personnel Practitioner, they
were classified in terms of the tasks they perform. The reason is that the
rank was mainly created with a view to enable a person to obtain a formal
qualification to address recruitment problems that were encountered. It
can not be seen as a natural part of a career as e.g. apprentice in the
artisan environment.
6.5 The Public Service Regulations, 1999 require executing authorities to link all
posts in their departments with an occupation from the occupational
classification system as well as with a CORE. Each CORE provides for
various occupational classification codes for each salary range. The latter
codes are alpha-numeric and consist of 8 characters. These codes should be
used in combination with the salary codes provided for that particular salary
range. In order to effect the payment of an employee’s salary via PERSAL,
departments will have to utilise both the salary codes and the occupational
classification codes.
7. THE FORMAT AND LAYOUT OF THE CORE’s
7.1 All CORE’s have been developed within the same framework. The title of each
CORE is reflected by the occupational category on the first page of a CORE.
The date of implementation is also reflected on the first page. The titles are
generic and include all jobs within a particular functional field. The general
scope of service delivery broadly outlines the outputs of the employees
appointed in terms of a particular CORE. Information is also provided on
statutory requirements, requirements for employment, salary codes, career
path possibilities and a profile of the major groups covered in the CORE.

7.2 In terms of the graphic display above it is important to note that career paths
may develop across major groups in one CORE and even between the
different CORE’s. One of the objectives of the CORE is to facilitate the
development of career paths. The CORE therefore starts on level one and
moves up to level 15. It is therefore possible that a person may start out in
one of the Elementary Occupations, such as cleaner and as he/she develops
move through various occupations in other major groups such as the
Administrative Office Workers. The employee may even develop and acquire
the necessary competencies over time to be appointed as a manager.
7.3 There are two different perspectives to career pathing, namely a personal and
an employer perspective. The employer could use the CORE as part of the
human resources planning process to determine what the required
competencies will be at a particular level, and what competencies employees
will need to function at a particular level. The employee’s personal
development plan can then be structured by using the information contained in
the CORE.
7.4 It should be accepted that an individua l employee’s development goals and

that of the employer might differ. The individual employee can determine what
he/she will have to do in terms of personal development to fulfil his/her
aspirations. Such a decision can be assisted by analysing the information
contained in the CORE in terms of the required competencies as indicated per
level in the CORE.
7.5 The prescripts such as job weight range, salary range, salary code and
occupational classification are prescribed as indicated in the following format:

7.7 When reading the guidelines that are contained in the CORE it is important
that the basic fundamentals are understood. A common problem is that the
users of the CORE want to read the CORE in the same fashion as the old
PAS. The guidelines in the CORE have been structured in a particular way to
accommodate the grouping of various occupations in the same field of service
delivery.
7.8 Column A, with the heading generic job content, deals with those factors that
different jobs have in common. The occurrence/utilisation of these generic
factors in a particular job will to a large extend determine the relative value of
different jobs at the different levels. These are the factors that distinguish e.g.
an elementary job from a professional/management job. The way in which the
job is structured will have a direct impact on the competencies required to
function effectively. The content of the generic factors is as follows:
Utilisation Capacity Refers to how people are utilised in terms of their

employment. Distinctions can be made between
people in training, support, production supervisory and
management positions. The way in which people are
utilised will impact directly on the competencies that
will be required to function effectively. This factor,
read in conjunction with the factor autonomy, will
influence all other generic factors.
11
12
Autonomy Indicates the extend to which a job is structured. It

also links directly with the examples of job outputs in
column B.
Financial Resources Refers to the financial responsibility a job carries.
Variations may include the responsibility as a budget
holder, managing a project budget or making inputs
into the budgeting process as well as monitoring
Responsibility for Responsibility in terms of monetary value for
equipment and equipment utilised/controlled is not necessarily
Machinery generally prevailing in all jobs. On a management
level the overall responsibility for equipment may
become more important.
Involvement in Stores Responsibility in terms of monetary value for stock
controlled is not necessarily generally prevailing in all
jobs as employees tend to mostly obtain provisions or
equipment from the stores. On a management level
the overall responsibility may become more important.
Advice Refers to providing interpretation/clarification
regarding options that a client/customer might
consider that could therefore influence their decision
making. The employee providing the advice may have
discretionary power in terms of the type of advice
provided.
Job Information Refers to the type of information that a post holder
must absorb and understand in the working
environment to enable the employee to perform his or
her duties.
Problem Solving Refers to the nature of the problems dealt with and the
processes utilised by employees to deal with problems
in the working environment.
Planning This factor looks at the extent to which employees are
involved in planning in the work environment, either
their own work, that of a component or organisational
entity. The contributions made to the broader
planning process should also be considered. On
management levels the involvement in the operational
and strategic planning processes should not be
overlooked.
Decision Making Refers to the type of decisions employees are
required to make as well as the implications thereof .
Interaction with clients Refers to contact with other people/organisations as
and staff well as the frequency, nature and complexity of the
contact which can influence/impact on the quality of
service an employee delivers.
Supervision/Manage- Refers to the formal and informal
ment of personnel supervision/management actions required by
employees with authority over other employees.
7.9 Column B contains examples of job outputs. These outputs can be deducted
from job descriptions, but do not attempt to replace individual job descriptions.
In this column an indication will be given of what the various occupational
streams in a particular field of service delivery are, once the CORE’s are fully
12
13
developed. These occupational streams can be linked to the occupational

classification system according to which personnel are appointed.
7.10 The competency profile as contained in column C is those factors that

personnel will require to function effectively on a particular level. It should be
noted that there is a direct relationship between the generic job content in
column A and the key competencies to function effectively as contained in
column C. The key competency, knowledge should be read with the
document dimensions of knowledge attached at the back of each CORE.
7.11 Column D focuses on learning indicators. Learning indicators are those

indicators that can inform the development of a competency profile. The
guidelines in this column take a closer look at qualifications, experience,
training and statutory requirements. In terms of qualifications, the CORE
advise on qualifications which will normally equip a person to meet the
required competency profile. However, this does not address the debate on
the recognition of prior learning and qualifications should not be regarded as
the only indicator of competencies. In future valuable information will be
provided by the Standard Generating Bodies of the NQF. The advice provided
on experience has been broadened in terms of the categories to move away
from the limitations placed by narrowly defined qualifying periods prescribed in
the PAS system. The advice on experience also corresponds with information
contained in salary surveys. The fact that the advice has been defined so
broadly supports the requirements that the Public Service Regulations lay
down, in that only the inherent requirements may be considered in the filling of
posts. It is therefore possible that two jobs in the same CORE on the same
level may have different experience requirements, due to different inherent
requirements. Furthermore it supports the notion that individuals develop at
different speeds, a fact negated by the standardisation of experience
requirements contained in the PAS.
7.12 Training refers to those short interventions that do not necessarily lead to a
formal qualification. Training should equip the individual to deal with his/her
work environment or enhance work performance. Although statutory
requirements are listed under the guidelines in the CORE it should be
remembered that such requirement is contained in an Act of Parliament and
should at all times be complied with. Failure to do so can lead to the employer
being held liable, for not ensuring that its employees meet the laid down
requirements.
7.13 Because different levels of knowledge and competence can be required to

perform different tasks in a similar environment, provision was made to
distinguish between the differences in knowledge of the same topic. The field
of knowledge has been divided into different categories with broad definitions
explaining the differences in application. The differences in the dimensions of
knowledge are reflected in the following format in the CORE:

8. APPOINTING AN EMPLOYEE IN TERMS OF THE CORE AFTER 1/7/99
8.1 In terms of the Public Service Regulations it is required to have a job

description for all posts with effect from1/4/2000. If a job description is not
available it should first be compiled before a post can be filled. The inherent
requirements as stipulated in the job description should be used as selection
criteria when filling the post.
8.2 The post should be linked to a CORE. To determine which CORE will be the
most suitable the area of service delivery as summarised in the first page of
the CORE’s should be compared with the job purpose and main objectives as
contained in the job description.
8.3 The post should also be linked to the occupational classification system. The
Occupational Classification System divides occupations in the public service
into major groups and those major groups are broken down to smaller units.
This will enable you to distinguish between different occupations that are
employed in terms of the same CORE.
8.4 In order to award a sala ry to an employee it should be decided to what level

the post will be linked. Job weight ranges are linked to salary ranges and
these prescripts are contained in the CORE. In terms of the Public Service
Regulations an executing authority shall generally set the salaries on the
minimum of the salary ranges, but provision exist to award higher salaries if
complied with the preconditions in the Public Service Regulations.
8.5 When awarding a higher salary it should be remembered that the decision will
have to be motivated and the national norm as contained in the CORE will be
a benchmark. It should also comply with departmental policies developed in
this regard.
14
15
8.6 In order to effect payment of salaries it will be required to use a prescribed

salary code as contained in a CORE as well as one of the occupational
classification codes that are contained in the CORE’s.
8.7 The collective agreements should be consulted to determine whether any non-
pensionable allowances are payable.
8.8 It should be born in mind that the system of rank promotion has not yet been
replaced and therefore it should be determined whether new appointees
qualify for rank promotion in terms of an appropriate previous PAS (up to 30
June 2001). It should be determined whether provision was made to provide
rank promotion on the relevant level and if applicable it will influence the future
career path of the individual concerned.
9. THE CORE AND PERSAL
9.1 ELECTRONIC TRANSFER
9.1.1 To facilitate the translation of personnel from the PAS to the CORE the
majority of personnel had been translated electronically by PERSAL with
implementation of the CORE. It was required from Departments to validate the
translations as well as to translate those personnel that had not been
translated programmatically. The translation to the CORE consisted of the
following two phases-
• Translation of employees; and

• Translation of the posts on the establishment
To accommodate the new Management Framework it was also necessary to

make amendments to the PERSAL system.
9.2 TRANSLATION OF EMPLOYEES THAT WERE NOT TRANSLATED

PROGRAMATICALLY TO THE CORE
9.2.1 PERSAL distributed reports to Departments indicating particulars of all

employees that were not translated programmatically to an applicable CORE
with effect from 1 July 1999. Each Department then had to determine the
applicable CORE for a specific employee and had to translate the person to
the CORE at function 4.6.7. (Promotion/Translation in Rank) on PERSAL. The
specific posts also had to be aligned with the CORE details of the employees,
to avoid unnecessary out of adjustment employment. The post had to be
created at function 3.3.1 (Create: Posts) in accordance with the correct CORE.
When a new post was created, the employee had to be moved to the correct
post and the incorrect post had to be abolished.
9.3 APPOINTMENTS ON PERSAL
9.3.1 When a new appointment is effected on PERSAL the new employee should
be linked to an appropriate CORE. Before initiating the process on PERSAL at
functions 4.2.3 (Create: Offer) , 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 (Create: Assumption of Duty
15
16
1), the post details must be verified to ensure that the CORE details of the
post correspond with the CORE details of the employee. (If the post details
are incorrect it could be amended at function 3.3.2 (Amend: Posts) or a post
should be created according to the correct CORE at function 3.3.1. (Create:
Posts) and the incorrect post should be abolished at function 3.3.3.)
9.4 TRANSFERS BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS
9.4.1 When an employee is transferred to the Department it is done at function 4.6.5

(Transfer) on PERSAL. The information relating to the CORE of such an
employee needs to be verified as soon as the transfer transaction has been
updated on PERSAL. Due to the fact that Departments can determine
themselves which CORE will be utilised, it is necessary for the receiving
Department to determine the applicable CORE for the transferred employee
and to amend the CORE details of such an employee if necessary at function
4.6.7 (Promotion/Translation in Rank). The CORE details of the post on the
establishment of the receiving Department must also be verified (and
amended if necessary) as discussed above.
9.5 PROMOTIONS AND TRANSLATIONS IN RANK
9.5.1 When an employee is translated in rank at function 4.6.7

(Promotion/Translation in Rank) on PERSAL, the details of such an individual
relating to the CORE must be amended to align it with his/her new post. The
details of the post he/she is occupying on the establishment of a Department
must again be verified against that of the CORE to ensure consistency
between that of the employee and the post he/she is occupying.
9.5.2 In the case of a post promotion the employee's promotion is entered on

PERSAL at function 4.6.7.(Promotion/Translation in Rank) (the CORE details
of the person are also changed if necessary) and usually the employee is
transferred to the higher post on PERSAL. Departments must again ensure
that the CORE details of the employee and his/her new post are aligned.
9.5.3 In the case of a rank promotion the employee's promotion is entered on

PERSAL at function 4.6.7.(Promotion/Translation in Rank), along with the new
CORE details. A new post also needs to be created for such an employee with
new CORE details and he/she should be absorbed in the new post. Once it is
updated by PERSAL the old post must be abolished.
9.6 ABNORMAL APPOINTMENTS (FUNCTION 5.8.1)
9.6.1 Although abnormal appointments do not reflect on the establishment of a

Department, because it's not linked to a post, it should also be effected in
accordance with a CORE. The composition of the employee’s job will directly
influence in terms of which CORE the individual will be appointed. If a
Department has employees currently appointed at function 5.8.1(Extraordinary
Appointment) and the employee is not appointed in accordance with a CORE,
the services of such employees must be terminated at function 5.8.4 and they
16
17
should be re-appointed with the correct CORE details at function

5.8.1(Extraordinary Appointment).
9.7 THE POST ESTABLISHMENT ON PERSAL AND THE CORE
9.7.1 PERSAL was adapted to make provision for the information of the CORE for
each post on the establishment of a Department. Fields that are important
(mandatory) to complete regarding the CORE for each post are the following:
• Salary code
• Occupational classification
• Job title
9.7.2 The salary code and the occupational classification codes are contained in the
CORE’s. Job title codes should be determined and created by each
Department and can be obtained from table 824 on PERSAL. PERSAL reports
regarding establishment matters have also been adjusted to provide this
information.
9.7.3 The employment of personnel out of adjustment was mostly reduced when the
CORE was implemented on PERSAL, due to the fact that a post can be
created for each salary level in a specific CORE. When personnel are
employed additional to the fixed establishment of a Department, such an
appointment should be created according to a specific CORE, similar to the
creation of a permanent post. The only difference is the period of existence
connected to an additional employment. Contract appointments and casual
appointments are usually created as additional employments on PERSAL.
10. COMPILING ADVERTISEMENTS USING THE CORE
10.1 With the implementation of the Public Service Regulations, 1999 appointment
measures are no longer prescribed centrally and should be determined by
executing authorities. The appointment requirements must be based on the
inherent requirements of a job and the requirements for employment should
be determined in terms of competencies (training, knowledge, skills, attributes,
etc.). For each salary range the CORE provides the following:
• possible job content;

• necessary and desirable competencies for the job;
• indicators of competencies;
• desirable characteristics for employment and promotion within an
occupational category defined by a CORE.
10.2 In compiling an advertisement by using the CORE the following procedure

could be considered:
• Compile a Job description
The inherent requirements of a job must be recorded in the job description

of such a post and the information contained in the job description as well
17
18
as the guidelines contained in the appropriate CORE should be utilised to

determine the requirements for appointment.
• Evaluate the Job if required
Part III F.I of the Public Service Regulations, 1999, requires that before
creating a post for any newly defined job, or filling a vacancy on grade 9 or
higher, the executing authority shall utilise the job evaluation system to
evaluate the job, unless the specific job has been evaluated previously.
• Determine the appropriate CORE for employment
The general scope of service delivery provided on the front page of each
CORE should be utilised to determine the appropriate CORE. Information
in the CORE are grouped by major group as defined in terms of the
Occupational Classification System e.g. Elementary Occupations, Craft
and Related Trades Workers etc.
• Determine the appropriate level for employment (if not provided due
to job evaluation)
Information given in the guidelines includes the generic job content,

examples of job outputs, key competencies and learning indicators. By
using this information and the information contained in the job description,
it will be possible to determine on which level the post should be filled and
therefore which salary should be linked to it.
• Compile the advertisement
After the correct CORE, salary range, salary code and occupational
classification have been identified it will be possible to compile an
advertisement. However, before advertising and filling the post it must be
ensured that sufficient funds are available and that all policies on filling
posts had been adhered to.
