The Civil Service Commission (CSC), the Commission on Audit (COA), and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) have amended Joint Circular No.1, s. 2017 to allow agencies to contract the services of new contract of service (COS) and job order (JO) workers and renew existing contracts of COS and JO workers until December 31, 2020. This transitory period is to ensure that delivery of public services will not be impaired.
Read the Full Copy: Amendment to the CSC-COA-DBM Joint Circular No. 1, s. 2017
20% Salary Increase to all JO and COS
In addition, starting January 1, 2019, COS and JO workers shall be paid a salary or wage equivalent to the daily salary or wage of comparable positions in the government and a premium of up to 20% of the salary or wage.
The premium payment may be paid monthly, in lump sum or in tranches, as may be stated in the agreement or contract with the agency. The payment for services shall be charged against the Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses of the agency’s approved budget.
Furthermore, existing qualified COS and JO workers shall be considered for appointment to the vacant positions of government agencies subject to existing civil service laws, rules, and regulations and CSC-approved Merit Selection Plans.
Since the issuance of Joint Circular No. 1, the CSC, COA, and DBM have received numerous requests and queries regarding its implementation. In the meantime, the three oversight agencies are working on the revision of the rules and regulations of the joint circular.

Hello admin, hindi rin po ba eligible ang j.o. ng dswd for 13th month?
wala po talaga 13th month ang j.o kase as per contract no employee employer relationship. jo’s are considered service provider kaya po we pay our sss as self employed.
Kasama po ba ang LGU’s sa joint circular na ito?
Nope: Please see the original Circular kung kanino naka-address: https://www.gobyerno.ph/rules-in-contract-of-service-and-job-order-workers-in-the-government/
On the premium of up to 20%, do you mean that the allowable maximum premium shall be 20%. Henceforth, do we take it to mean that we can adopt a lower prememium? Say 10% for 2019 and the remaining 10% to be adopted in 2020? Or does it mean to say that the 20% premium shall be implemented in 2019.
Yes. You are right with that.
How about a previous contract of employment employee for five years,then last January 2018 become job order status up to now in a state university,are there any possibility t to be returned to contract of employment?
how could we enjoy that salary increase if until now we are not yet re-hired?wala pa yun order to hire or start of ontract?
