CEBU, Philippines - The Commission on Audit has warned local government units not to grant cash gifts, year-end bonuses and
productivity enhancement incentives to job order personnel as the disbursement of public funds for the said purposes are illegal.
COA cited Section 4 of the Budget Circular 2010 1 which enumerates the exclusions from the coverage in the rules and
regulations on the payment of cash gifts and year-end bonus the government personnel hired without employee-employer
relationships and funded from non-personal services appropriations or budgets.
Also excluded are individuals or groups of people whose services are engaged through job orders, contracts of services or
other similarly situated.
Item 5 of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Memorandum Circular No. (MC) No. 38, s. 1993, also states that, contract of
services and job orders are different from contractual appointment and plantilla appointment of casual employees, respectively,
which are required to be submitted to CSC for approval.
Contracts of services and job orders cover lump sum work or services such as janitorial, security or consultancy services where
no employer-employee relationship exists.
COA said the job order covers piece works or intermittent jobs of short durations not exceeding six months, on a daily basis.
