ILOILO – The holidays would surely be merry and bright for some 2,200 regular employees of the provincial government.
They would be receiving three bonuses, according to Joecil Mayor, president of the Association of Iloilo Provincial Government Employees (AIPGE).
The release of the Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) was ordered by President Rodrigo Duterte via Administrative Order (AO) 19. This is a one-time incentive “to recognize and further encourage the unwavering commitment and dedication of government employees in performing their work, their continued support and collaborative efforts in the delivery of services to the public, as well as their diligence in the effective and efficient performance of their respective functions.”
Civilian and military personnel in the executive department would each receive an SRI not exceeding P10,000.
The second bonus is the Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI) of P5,000 and third is the performance-based bonus (PBB) the value of which depends on office performance (for hear 2017).
In four capitol offices ranked 1 to 4, each employee would be receiving a PBB of 65 percent of their month salary, Panay News learned.
On the other hand, employees of capitol offices ranked between 5 to 14 would each be receiving a PBB of 57.75 percent of their monthly salaries.
For employees of offices ranked between 15 to 40, the PBB would be 50 percent of their monthly salaries.
According to Mayor, the PBB was for the 2017 performance only. It was in 2017 when they applied with the Department of Interior and Local Government for the PBB, but it was only recently that the provincial government received confirmation that the PBB was approved, he explained.
Therefore, said Mayor, employees appointed in 2018 and 2019 were not eligible for the PBB.
It is right that regular employees receive a windfall, said Mayor, because the provincial government reaped many awards this year – a reflection of the good performance of employees./PN
