incentive given to all government employees who have been assessed to have contributed to the

school he or she belongs to. How can you receive the PBB? To receive PBB, the teacher must be
serving at least 4 months as a teacher in the Department of Education at the time of the
assessment. The Department as a whole must meet all the “Good Governance Indicators” as
stated in the Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS). PBB/PBIS Performance Grouping
The value of the contribution of DepEd teachers is then assessed by their superiors to determine
if they are part of the “Good Performer”, “Better Performer” or “Best Performer” Group. All
three groups get their share of the PBB based on their performance. A fourth group, the “Poor
Performers” will not receive any incentive under this program. You may refer to the matrix

Using the table above, if your performance rating is included in the top 10% in your unit, this
puts you among the best performers. If your unit is within the top 10% of all the units in your
agency, you will get 35,000 pesos for your PBB. However, even if your unit is performing well
but you were tagged as a poor performer, you may not get a PBB. 3. Productivity Enhancement
Incentive (PEI) In addition to the PBB, DEPED teachers may also receive their annual PEI.
Contrary to some sources online, the PEI amount is not fixed. Instead, the amount depends on
the level of savings incurred and authorized by the national government to fund the PEI. This
means that the amount you receive will vary depending on these factors. 4. Personnel Economic
Relief Allowance (PERA – Annual) This is another allowance given to all government
employees to augment their take-home pay for the rising cost of living in the country. The bonus
amounts to P2,000 pesos per month regardless of rank or performance. This totals to 24,000

according to the Department of Budget Maintenance, refer to assignments in areas characterized
by extremely hard, uncomfortable, and extreme difficulties. The eligibility of a location as a

more than 50 days of cumulative authorized vacation leaves without pay in the first ten years.

Vacation Pay (PVP) The Proportional Vacation Pay refers to the amount received by the teacher
during school breaks (April, May, and December). The amount that a teacher receives in these
break period depends on how many absences they may have incurred in the school year. If a
teacher did not use any leave credit for the entire school year, he or she will get the full for break
periods. The number of days paid by PVP is usually 70 days per year. However, this may change
according to the length of school breaks for the particular year. Absences during the school year
will affect your vacation pay. If a teacher is absent for one day, a proportionate amount of money
will be deducted from their PVP. To make the computation easier, teachers often use the 3:1
proportion of absences to pay days. For every 3 absences in the school year, an equivalent of one
day’s pay will be deducted from the PVP. 11. Mobile Teachers and District Alternative Learning

No. 41, s. 1998 as amended by CSC MC No. 9, s. 2012) Gov’t workers granted 5-day special
calamity leave THE CIVIL Service Commission (CSC) has issued a resolution granting a five-
day special emergency leave for government employees directly affected by natural calamities or
disasters. “With the increasing risks brought about by climate change and global warming, the
Commission saw it necessary to offer assistance to state workers affected by natural calamities in
the form of special leave. We hope that this would give affected employees respite and ample
time to recover,” said CSC Chair Francisco T. Duque III. In CSC Resolution No. 1200289 issued
on February 8, state workers in officially-declared calamity areas may avail of the special
emergency leave for five straight working days or on staggered basis. Said special leave is
separate and will not be deducted from the employee’s leave credits, and may be availed of
within 30 days from the first day of calamity declaration by proper government authorities. A
natural calamity or disaster may include “earthquakes, flooding, volcanic eruption and landslide that
have profound environmental effect and/or human loss and frequently cause financial loss”. The leave
may be used by employees stranded in affected areas, for urgent repair and clean-up of damaged
house, for recovery from disease/illness, or for caring for immediate family members affected by
natural calamity. The CSC policy orders heads of offices to take full responsibility in granting
special emergency leave and in verifying the employee’s eligibility to avail of such. Vacation
