P5-K SRA for healthcare workers 'very fair': ARTA chief
The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) is advocating for a uniform P5,000 special risk allowance (SRA) for all eligible healthcare workers, regardless of their employer or specific work assignment.
ARTA Secretary-General Jeremiah Belgica believes that a blanket P5,000 SRA for all healthcare workers would streamline the disbursement process and avoid complications.
He emphasized that all health workers are at risk of getting infected with coronavirus once they enter their facilities.
An additional 17,000 healthcare workers will receive their P5,000 SRA this week.
A total of over 97,000 front-liners will benefit from the additional P888.12 million released by the Department of Budget and Management for the SRA.
