Senator Mark A. Villar has filed a bill seeking to grant 13th month pay for contractual and job order personnel in the government service.
“Contractual workers and job order personnel play a vital role in government service. They fulfill their duties diligently and passionately comparable to permanent government employees. Notwithstanding, they are not entitled to mid-year and year-end bonuses, such as the 13th-month pay, among other benefits.” Villa said in his explanatory note of Senate Bill 1528, or the ‘’13th Month Pay Law.’’
During his stint as Department of Public Works and Highways secretary, Villar said he saw the needs of government employees and his appreciation of the situation prompted him to file SB 1528. Villar said that based on his bill, the 13th month pay of job orders and contractual workers should not be less than one half of their monthly pay.
