Service Record
Service Record is the official chronological record of an officer's public-service career, showing appointments, movements, leave, pay status changes, and other events relevant to service verification.
Why it is distinct
While the employee file stores source documents, the service record captures the verified employment history that other decisions rely on, especially pension, increment, transfer, and retiring-benefit calculations.
Why it matters
Where the service record is wrong, downstream HR and payroll decisions are usually wrong as well. It is one of the highest-value records in a public-sector HR system.
