How about those on leave without pay as of October 31 and will be back on service next year? Are they entitled? They were not excluded but not also included as indicated in the phrase “including leaves of absence with pay” per definition of “total or aggregate service”

Hindi ka pa makakatanggap ng Year-End Bonus. Personnel has rendered at least a total or an aggregate of four (4) months of service from January 1 to October 31 of the current year. Pero may pro-rated Cash Gift ka. Read mo ito: https://governmentph.com/year-end-bonus-cash-gift-government-employees/
sa yong palagay ano mga govt agency ang sure kasama sa 3.1 at 3.2 lahat ba ng govt agency eh kasama or hndi
Kawawa naman yung mga job order. Wala na ngang 13th month, 14th month, allowance, midyear, year end bonus pati ba naman christmas bonus ipagkakait pa. Sana naman bigyan ng pansin ng gobyerno ‘to. Kasi malaki rin ang naitutulong ng job order lalo na ang mga job order/admin ng mga public schools. Napakalaking tulong nila. Napakalaki ng impluwensya nila at mahirap mga ginagawa nila. Di na nga well compensated, di pa mabigyan ng halaga. RIP Philippines.
Kaya iboto natin ang mga Senator na magpapanukala ng ganyang batas para sa mga job orders. Ginagawa naman po ng DOLE ang kanilang makakaya para dito.
Totoo yan sana i consider ng Gobyerno ang mga Outsourced personnel kagaya namin sapagkat kundi sa mga outsourced personnel ay walang mangyayari sa mga proyekto ng Gobyerno kami na mga Profesional na Architects at Engineers. Sana ibahagi nyu po kami sa masasayang benepisyo o bonus na inyung pinamamahagi sapagkat kami din po ay bahagi ng pag unlad ng ating ahensya at nagbabayad ng tamang buwis sa ating Gobyerno. Sana po mabigyan nyu ng pansin ito mahal na Pangulong Duterte?
sure ba kasama jo
Basta kasama ka sa Section 3.1 and 3.2. Look also sa exclusion. As much as possible, please go to your HR Department to verify or clarify things.
pero lahat nga ba ng govt emoloyee eh makakatanggap ba lahat ng bonus at cash gift from all govt agencies
