PROVIDING THAT ALL CONTRACTUAL AND CASUAL EMPLOYEES 
IN THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE BE PAID CORRESPONDING 
WAGES DURING SPECIAL PUBLIC AND LOCAL HOLIDAYS, AND 
APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
A significant percentage of workers in the public sector are either 
contractual or casual. More often than not, they are in the front-line in the delivery 
of social services. They are the backbone of most government establishments.  
This bill seeks to afford contractual and casual government employees 
corresponding wages during special public holidays. Tenured employees already 
avail of this benefit, while contractuals and casuals do not.  
Since contractual and casual employees face the same predicaments as 
tenured employees, such as rising cost of living, it is imperative that we also 
afford contractual and casual employees the same benefit that we give to tenured 
employees.

 Furthermore, this will serve as an incentive to our workers and hopefully, 
this will stir greater productivity and improved quality of life.  
With these, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
