President
Aquino signed Executive Order (EO) 181, Implementation of the Provisions of FY 2015 General
Appropriations Act (GAA) on the Grant of the FY 2015 Productivity Enhancement
Incentive (PEI) to Government Employees”.
Deputy
presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said that under EO 181, the government
will give one-time grant of PEI equivalent to one-month basic salary for
agencies that have complied with requirements of the Productivity Enhancement
Incentive.
Among
those who will receive the bonus will be employees from the national government
agencies, state universities and colleges, Congress, judiciary, Civil Service
Commission, Commission on Audit, Commission on Elections, Office of the
Ombudsman and local government units.
Local
water districts and government financial institutions will also receive the
one-time grant.
For
those government agencies to receive the bonus, there must be an achievement of
"at least 90 percent of their fiscal year 2014 target under at least two
performance indicators for at least one major final output under ‘operations,'"
she said.
The
submission of requirements has been ongoing since last year because that is
part of the government's performance-based incentive system, she explained.
The
original target was fiscal year 2014, and Valte said they expect that agencies
have been able to comply to all the requirements for the grant of the
incentive.
For
the government personnel to receive the incentive, they must have four months
tenure in government before May 31, 2015.
Consultants
or laborers hired through job contracts, student workers and apprentices and
individuals as well as groups whose services are engaged through job orders,
contract of services and other similarly
situated
are excluded from receiving the incentive, Valte added.
The
government normally gives P5,000 every year to regular employees, but the newly
signed EO allows it to extend a productivity incentive equivalent to one-month
salary.(PCOO News Release)
