TBBK can be defined as Time-Based Excellence. TBBK is given to provide promotion opportunities to officers who achieve a level of performance excellence without being tied to actual job vacancies.

The source of authority for the implementation of this TBBK is by referring to Service Circular No. 10 of 2017 – Time-Based Promotion Based on Excellence for Implementing Group Officers.

The period of service required to qualify for TBBK is 13 years of service.

The service period that is taken into account SPECIFICALLY is:
i. The officer's period of service in the grade of the position before the option of changing appointments upon Government decision to the same service scheme or another service scheme at the same/equivalent grade (in the same entry qualification group);

ii. The officer's period of service in the grade of the position before being transferred upon application by the officer to the same service scheme and grade under a different Appointing Authority (PA);
iii. The period of service of officers in temporary exchange/secondment positions before being permanently transferred to the borrowing agency at the same/equivalent grade; and iv. The period of service of officers who leave or resign and are reappointed to the same service scheme and grade equivalent to the first layer of the promotion grade.

i. Probationary period with fine (for officers appointed directly to the appointment grade equivalent to the promotion grade;
ii. The number of days officers are absent from duty (THB) without leave, without permission or without reasonable cause;
iii. Period of loss of seniority in the current grade as a result of being subject to disciplinary punishment in that grade; and
iv. All types of unpaid leave and all types of half-paid leave except for Unpaid Study Leave (CBTG) and Half-Salary Study Leave (CBSP).

Seniority can be defined as the ranking of officers based on the date of appointment for officers in the appointment grade or the date of last promotion for officers in the promotion grade in the same service scheme.

An officer may be considered to have lost seniority based on the following factors:
i. Extension of probation period with fine;
ii. Half-Pay Leave and Unpaid Leave except study leave approved by the relevant authorities; and/or
iii. Officers who have been appointed to positions in previous service schemes.

Promotion can be defined as a substantive increase from one grade to a higher grade in the same service and service scheme with the approval of the Promotion Board.

A factual error in service information means an error in information regarding the service of an officer where in reality the officer does not or has not yet fulfilled the conditions currently in force for him to be eligible for consideration for promotion when the Promotion Board considers the officer's promotion.

Acting can be defined as the performance of duties by an officer on a full-time basis, in another position that is higher in grade than the officer's actual grade in the same service scheme and service with the approval of the Promotion Board.

Officers who have been subject to disciplinary punishment are not eligible to be considered for acting promotion to a higher grade and the period of ineligibility for consideration for acting is based on Service Circular Number 3 of 2009, Promotion Policy for Officers Who Are Under Investigation and Have Been Subjected to Disciplinary Punishment as follows:
