Bureau 10:04 AM, Mar 06, 2020 

Dear Mr. Buenaventura,

This refers to your query on whether job order (JO) employees are entitled to receive  honoraria when they are designated as members of a Technical Working Group.

May we highlight that under Item 7.4 of CSC-COA-DBM Joint Circular No. 1, s. 2017, it is clarified that the services of contract of service and JO workers are not covered by Civil Service  law and rules, and thus, not creditable as government service.

Conversely, the DBM circulars on the payment of honoraria to those involved in special/procurement projects apply only to government employees. 

Thank you.

Respectfully yours,

Maria Lourdes T. Aganon
FOI Officer
