DBM releases guidelines on one-time incentive grant

THE Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has released the guidelines on the one-time Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) this year for government employees.
In a budget circular dated Dec. 15, the DBM published guidelines on the grant of SRI for this year worth P20,000 for each qualified government employee, as first issued in an administrative order last week.
The DBM said the one-time SRI will be given to “personnel in recognition of their collective and invaluable contributions to the government’s continuing efforts in pursuing the objectives, commitments, targets, and deliverables” under the government goals.
The guidelines said the grant covers civilian personnel of the national government agencies including state university colleges, and state-run firms, occupying regular, contractual or casual positions.
Recipients also include military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines under the Department of National Defense, and uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police, Philippine Public Safety College, Bureau of Fire Protection, and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology under the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
Personnel of the Bureau of Corrections under the Department of Justice, the Philippine Coast Guard under the Department of Transportation, and the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority under the Department of Environment and Natural Resources will also be entitled to the incentives. — Aubrey Rose A.
