100,000 gov’t contractual workers to continue to receive salaries — Villanueva
Senator Joel Villanueva announced that the Commission on Audit (COA) and the Civil Service Commission (CSC) have agreed to continue paying the salaries of Metro Manila-based contractual government workers.
This resolution, proposed by Villanueva, aims to help approximately 100,000 job order or contract of service workers cope with daily expenses during the community quarantine.
He expressed gratitude for the government's consideration in ensuring these workers' income while parts of the government suspend operations to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
The continued pay will complement the work-from-home arrangements being implemented in government offices.
The CSC and COA will jointly issue guidelines for the payment of these workers.
Villanueva noted that this measure is crucial as the income of daily-paid workers could significantly shrink with skeletal staffing in government offices.
