To aid the victims of Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana), government employees may opt to get the balance of their Year-End Benefits (YEB), popularly known as 13th month pay.
The advance payment of YEB is in line with the directive of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Vice President Noli de Castro to give in advance the remaining half of the employee’s year-end bonus to “provide financial assistance and help alleviate the plight of calamity-stricken government personnel.”
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Rolando Andaya Jr. said in a news conference that the early receipt of the YEB is purely voluntary or optional. The release will be made upon request of the personnel concerned. It will not be imposed on all government employees as some workers would prefer to receive their YEB on November 15 in time for the Christmas season.
Under the guidelines Issued by the DBM, (Budget Circular No. 2009-4) national government employees who would like to get the remaining half of their YEB must comply with all the requirements prescribed under Budget Circular 2005-6 such as rendition of at least a total of four (4) months of service including leaves of absence with pay from January 1 to October 31 of a particular year. They must also remain in government service until October 31, 2009.
Those who would not be able to complete the four-months service requirement as of October 31, 2009 and would be unable to comply with the other conditions provided under BC No. 2005-6 may also request their agency for the advance payment of their cash gift but on a proportional basis based on their length of service of the employee.
Funding for the early payment of government employees’ year-end benefits is assured because the DBM has released in full the allotment for Personal Services (PS) inclusive of the requirements for year-end bonus and cash gift for filled positions as early as end of March.
Sec. Andaya encourages Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCC), Government Financial Institutions (GFI) and local government units to adopt and implement the advance payment of the year-end benefits.
According to the Budget Secretary, 1.2 million government employees had already received the first half of their 13th month pay last May 2009.
