A RESOLUTION REQUESTING FOR AN ORDINANCE GRANTING

HAZARDOUS PAY TO PROVINCIAL JAIL PERSONNEL
Resolution No. 02, s. 2024

WHEREAS, DBM National Budget Circular No. 451 dated March 14, 1996 provides that
this Circular is being issued to rationalize the guidelines on the grant of Hazard Duty
Pay as authorized under the pertinent provisions of the annual General Appropriations
Act.;

WHEREAS, the concept of Hazard Duty Pay is a compensation premium or allowance

which is generally paid to officials and employees who, because of the nature
and/or location of their work are exposed to hazards.;

WHEREAS the general guidelines of DBM National Budget Circular No. 451 provides
hazardous work areas shall mean;

5.6 Prison camps/reservations or penal colonies without adequate police

protection as may be declared and duly certified as such by the Secretary of
Justice upon recommendation of the Director of the Bureau of Corrections;

5.7 Embattled or strife-torn work areas which refer to the site of armed
encounters between government troops and enemy forces and/or
enemy initiated attacks, raids or armed ambuscades; and work areas
which entail risks or danger due to direct unavoidable exposure to explosives
as may be solely declared and duly certified as such by the Secretary of
National Defense. It is also an area where enemy concentration /training
camps are reported to exist;

WHEREAS, on January 16, 2024, with quorum, and by virtue of the conference
conducted by the Grievance Committee, it was decided by the majority that since the
role of the Provincial Jail Personnel, like the police officers and jail officers, who are
given hazard pay, is akin to maintaining public order and enforcing the law, hence, is it
rightful and just to also grant them hazardous pay;

NOW THEREFORE, after careful study on the matter at issue, the Board resolved as it
hereby resolved to recommend to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Albay to enact an
ordinance granting Hazard Pay to Provincial Jail Personnel;

Done this 16th Day of January 2024 at Albay Provincial Jail.
