Talisay City increases ‘job orders’
Talisay City is increasing job orders compared to the previous administration.
True to his campaign promise of creating more jobs, Mayor Johnny Delos Reyes will hire 1,901 job orders which is 742 more than what the previous administration have.
Hazel Bathan, chief of Human Resource Management office said they have already prepared the punch cards for the job orders yesterday.
Delos Reyes’ three Liberal partymates in the City Council have been allocated more job orders than Alayon Party members and the ex-officio members. Alvin Diaz has 47 job orders; Danny Caballero, 60; and Valeriano Ylanan 100.
Bathan said Delos Reyes approved the allocation of 50 job orders for city councilors belonging to the Alayon Party and the representatives of the Association of Barangay Council and Sangguniang Kabataan Federation.
The budget for the job orders will be taken from the P250 million allocation for the city government’s maintenance, operations and other expenses (MOOE).
According to Vince Monterde, city information officer, the Delos Reyes administration will save a substantial amount from the MOOE as they have discontinued outsourcing the janitorial services of City Hall.
The job order personnel will be assigned as street cleaners, garbage collectors, market and slaughterhouse personnel, City-Traffic Operations Development Authority (CT-TODA), office utility personnel and City Hall cleaners.
Their contracts will range from 15 days, one month and three months, renewable depending on their performance.
Job order workers are paid on a daily basis. They do not enjoy benefits like Pag-ibig, Philhealth and GSIS given to regular employees
The salary rate for job orders depend on the number of days they render work per week. Those who worked for five days a week will receive P300 per day; six days given P253.84 per day; those working seven days a week are entitled P220 per day.
Confidential job orders are entitled P500 per day.
