City regular employees to receive P12T incentive bonus
The Sangguniang Panlungsod is set to deliberate Wednesday a supplemental budget amounting to some P50 million. Part of the supplemental budget is appropriated for the incentive bonus of regular City Hall employees totaling P19,368,000.
Mayor Jerry Treñas said they have to wait for the approval of the legislative council on the supplemental budget before any release is done. The proposed incentive bonus for City Hall's regular employees increased from P10,000 last year to P12,000 this year.
Treñas said they are following the guidelines set forth by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) on the release of the incentive bonus. One of the guidelines is for the local government to appropriate the fund and signify its availability.
The supplemental budget likewise contains the allowances of police, judges, prosecutors, teachers among others. Portion of the budget is also appropriated for the cash gifts of barangay captains and kagawads.
