HOUSE BILL NO.

Introduced by REP. TEDDY BRAWNER BAGUILAT

AN ACT
GRANTING CIVIL SERVICE ELIGIBILITY TO GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, WHOSE STATUS OF
APPOINTMENT IS EITHER CASUAL OR CONTRACTUAL AND WHO HAVE
RENDERED A TOTAL OF FIVE (5) YEARS OF EFFICIENT SERVICE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The government is the biggest employer of the country, with approximately 1.4
millioncivil servants in its employ in 2010. Majority of the total non-career positions hold
casual and contractual positions. Government workers who have civil service eligibilities
in the first or second level are entitled to occupy regular or permanent positions in
government while the non-eligible government workers are hired as casual or
contractual employment.

Casual and contractual employees in government are required to be civil service eligible
to be considered for regular employment. They are not entitled to benefits and privileges
accorded to regular employees despite their long years in government service
Considering the services they extend in all government offices vis-a-vis the insufficient
benefits and privileges accorded the casual and contractual employees, the government
should grant these dedicated employees who have rendered efficient service in the
bureaucracy an opportunity to obtain their civil service eligibility. Casual and contractual
employees deserve to be given the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of their hard work
and perseverance such as having job security.


It is, therefore, urged that the legislature pass this measure granting civil service
eligibility to casual and contractual employees who have been rendering uninterrupted
service in the government for five (5) years.
