Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson said on Wednesday, Nov. 11 that additional Christmas benefits for provincial government employees will depend on the guidelines to be issued by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
Lacson said regular and casual employees can expect to receive P30,000 under the Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA), which has already been signed.
“We have signed the CNA. They (regular and casual employees) can expect P30,000,” the governor said.
He said other possible benefits, including the Performance-Based Bonus, will depend on the guidelines and instructions from the DBM.
Meanwhile, regular and casual employees are also expected to receive their year-end bonus equivalent to one month’s basic salary and P5,000 cash gift, with processing targeted for release starting Nov. 15. | GPB
