ANGELES CITY— The mid-year bonuses of all qualified plantilla employees of the local government unit of Angeles City will be released by Thursday or Friday, this week.
This was disclosed by City Treasurer Juliet Quinsaat on Monday after Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan has ordered to release the mid-year bonus of around 1,400 city hall plantilla personnel in compliance to the directive of the national government.
“The mid-year bonuses of plantilla employees of the City Government of Angeles are already incorporated in the annual executive budget. This is equivalent to one month of their basic salaries,” Pamintuan said.
Under the guidelines released by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), those employees that are entitled for a mid-year bonus include personnel that rendered at least a total or an aggregate of four months of service from July 1, 2017 to May 15, 2018; personnel that remain to be in the government service as of May 15, 2018; and personnel that obtained at least a satisfactory performance rating in the applicable performance appraisal period.
However, those who are hired without employeeemployer relationships and funded from non-personnel services appropriations/budgets are not entitled to the bonus. These include consultants and experts hired for a limited period to perform specific activities or services with expected outputs; laborers hired through job contracts (pakyaw) and those paid on piecework basis; student workers and apprentices; and, individuals and groups of people whose services are engaged through job orders and contracts of service.— AC-CMG
