Vacant plantilla posts ‘milking cows’ for bonuses – Tutor
By Nidz Godino
“These vacant positions are budgeted every year in annual appropriations… keeping them unfilled distorts the national and local budgets,” Bohol 3rd District Rep. Alexie Besas Tutor said plantilla positions in the government are already funded annually so they have become “milking cows” for year-end bonuses when left vacant. House committee on civil service and professionalization chair Tutor said “vacant positions have become milking cows for the mid-year and year-end bonuses and incentives distributed among regular government employees.”
She pointed out Civil Service Commission (CSC) should notice that many government agencies and local government units (LGUs) have not hired people to fill these vacancies.
Some unfilled positions are also being reserved for personnel nearing retirement, because by keeping vacant positions open, agencies and LGUs are “able to free up some funds for hiring of consultants,these matters are big part of the problem and real obstacle to ending endo in government…these issues have cropped up time and again during budget hearings, including hearings for 2023 budget,” she said, referring to the practice of hiring contractuals and their regular turnover so as to avoid giving benefits.
So far, Tutor’s committee has approved 11 bills seeking to end contractualization in government sector.
She said CSC should complete its study on job orders and contract of service personnel by January 2023, which affects over 66,000 individuals nationwide.
She said results of the study could be considered in deliberations on 11 proposed measures.
“It was very clear in the hearing of the House committee… that our colleagues in Congress are adamant about ending ‘endo’ , term for contractualization, in both national government and local government… strong consensus in the committee and we have the support of many of our colleagues in the House,” the lawmaker said.
Meanwhile, CSC Chairman Karlo Nograles stressed critical role of human resource (HR) management as public sector workplace faces transformations brought about by COVID-19 pandemic. In his virtual keynote message at the conference on public sector productivity hosted by Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), Nograles called on HR departments of government agencies to be more efficient and strategic in their policies as well as adaptive to digital transformation.
“HR was given chance to strengthen its role and to contribute in ways that will be more effective and more valued than ever before…instead of seeing glass as half-empty, organizations, which include our government offices, are allowed to implement changes with HR at the forefront,” Nograles said.
Nograles said HR management must help government workers develop new and emerging skills “to support and sustain competencies and capabilities” as civil servants and to “keep up with shifts and transformations brought about by ever-evolving times.”
In line with developing more efficient and strategic HR management, Nograles cited CSC’s Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management or PRIME-HRM which, he said, promotes adoption of digital transformation.
“This program is also strategic initiative to push for digitization as it is designed to phase out paper-pushing and manual processes, so that HR in public organizations can focus on developmental initiatives,” Nograles stressed.
Nograles also cited CSC’s expanded Learning and Development (L&D) programs.
“We advocate for inclusive learning by cultivating and embracing diversity, upholding equity and fostering belongingness…we expand our L&Ds by ensuring learning gaps are met and fulfilled regardless of diverse backgrounds,” he said.
Nograles also said there is growing demand for e-learning and an increased focus on building “future-readiness” among employees.
“Ultimately, the goal of these L&Ds is to help shape future-ready human capital that is involved, engaged, socially responsible, performance-oriented, assertive and innovative…we develop talents of future that can handle adversities and adapt and adjust to new era of governance,” Nograles concluded.
