Duterte OKs P10,000 incentive for gov’t workers

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte has authorized the grant of service recognition incentive to government employees.

Duterte signed Administrative Order No. 37 providing civilian personnel in national government agencies and military and uniformed personnel a one-time Service Recognition Incentive at a uniform rate not exceeding P10,000 each.

Also eligible to receive the incentive are employees in the legislative and judicial departments, local government units, and local water districts.

Excluded from the grant are those engaged without employer-employer relationship and whose compensation are funded from non-Personnel Services budgets.

“Government employees deserve to be rewarded for their collective and unceasing participation in and invaluable contribution to the administration’s continuing efforts toward the establishment of streamlined government processes and more responsive delivery of public services, especially in the midst of the public health emergency caused by the coronavirus pandemic,” said Duterte.

Section 9 of the Order states that the payment of the SRI to all qualified government employees must not be earlier than December 21, 2020.
