Good day! I just wanted to know if job order employees are also entitled for 13th month pay? Thank you. Under government.
Does PEI shall be given yearly? I am a government casual employee since 2013 under LGU but we only receive once year 2015 if im not mistaken they say that it depend to the budget of the LGU..is this true if LGU dont have budget we will not receive PEI?
Yes. Depende sa budget.
The monthly compensation is chargeable against the appropriations of General Revision of Real Property Assessments of the Municipal Assessor’s Office.
So, this means we are not qualified to receive PEI, 13th month pay, year-end bonus and cash gift? Am I right?
You can always ask your HR department.
Sad to say, they will always say not qualified because no employer-employee relationship considering that contractual workers worked harder and more busy that regular worker.
Thank you.
To whom this may concern:
It was mentioned above that it is Productivity Enhancement Incentive?
Can’t we also consider those employees engaged as job orders or under contract of service to be given with incentive also because they are the ones implementing the programs and projects of their respective field of expertise?
Why not consider also, where Job orders were more productive than others?
Paano naman po yun?
You can inquire the CSC or the DBM for that question.

If ever,I feel like I am qualified to receive!
Anyway,in so doing;Thank You So Much!
I AM ALPHA NAVARRETE ALFONSO
Hi Alpha, unfortunately this is only for government employees.
I just want to be clarified. My husband worked in LGU here in our town from 2009 – 2015 as clerk with Job Order status and from 2016 – present with Contractual status as Assessment Aide. Since he was hired as Contractual worker, so as other contractual workers in this municipality, they were not included to receive bunos because according to the accountant/budget officer they are not qualified. As I read the Executive Order of Bunoses, such as the year end bunos plus the Cash gift, Contractual in nature are qualified to receive, am I right?
I hope you can enlighten me on this matter though I am asking this in behalf of my husband and other contractual workers here in our town because they worked hard and even more busy than the regular employees.
Thank you.
