Are Job Order Workers in the Government Entitled to Overtime Pay? [Forum]

Accounting 101

Question

Sender: Good pm po. May mga Job Orders po kami na matagal na po sa position at maasahan na sa mga trabaho ng isang section. Mas magagaling pa nga sila sa mga permanent employees.

May mga oras na kailangan talaga ang services nila. Are they allowed to render overtime services with corresponding pay? Can we know the legal basis? Thanks.

  1. As a general rule, Job Order personnel are not entitled to Overtime Pay, with the following exceptions:
    1. If it is explicitly stated in their contract;
    2. For LGU: if there is an Executive Order from the Office of the Mayor/ Ordinance from Sanggunian;
    3. Existence of national Government policy (national emergencies etc.) specifically allowing OT pay for J.Os
    Note: for NGA’s po, the authority to render “OT with pay” issued by the Head of Agency for J.Os, without any DBM issuances authorizing the same may be defective and may be subject to COA questions later.

  2. A distinguishing characteristic of “pakyaw” or task basis engagement, as opposed to straight-hour wage payment, is the non-consideration of the time spent in working. In a task-basis work, the emphasis is on the task itself, in the sense that payment is reckoned in terms of completion of the work, not in terms of the number of time spent in the completion of work. Once the work or task is completed, the worker receives a fixed amount as wage, without regard to the standard measurements of time generally used in pay computation.

  3. Yezaruuuu. Basta may approved request for OT and also, subject to availability of funds. ❣️

  4. ang mga JOs naman ay output based, bakit nyo kasi sila pa oovertimin?😊

  5. Andami nga quota ng mga politician na J.O.pero sa bahay nila sila nagtatrabaho😆😆

  6. Kung Mooe paid walang ot..if Ps paid may ot..if daily paid and work on week end hindi ot yun..

  7. Yes, allowed if stipulated in the contract that they were allowed for an extension of service.

  8. Jo, means pakyawan, meaning fix, unless otherwise may clause sa c0ntract na pde magextend..pero ndi ot ang tawag..

  9. Yes if may Regional Order i cha.charge nmn din dun sa funds sa nag pa OT.. like if mg rendered ka ng OT sa OPCEN (HEMS Funds) pero ung sahud mo talaga ay sa (ORO) .allowed po un as long as may Regional Order indicating saan i charge ang funds.

  10. lahat eh pede mag overtime as long as my request siya sa head of office at aprub ng head na to render overtime or may request ang head of office to render overtime
