Zamboanga City allocates PhP49-M to pay CNA incentives of employees

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Dec. 20 (PNA) -- The city government has allocated PhP 49-million for the payment of the 2016 Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) to its employees this month.

Ferdinando Alvarez, city budget officer, said that a total of 1,960 city government employees are entitled to receive PhP 25,000 each under this year’s CNA.

Alvarez said they included department heads and regular rank and file employees as well as city councilors.

Alvarez said city government employees who have been employed and still in service as of October 31, 2016 are qualified to receive the CNA incentive.

The CNA is granted based on the savings of the city government coming from traveling expenses, communication expenses, repairs and maintenance, transportation and delivery expenses, supplies and materials, and utility expenses without hampering the operation of the office.

Alvarez said the payment of the CNA will be done by office and must not be released earlier than December 15.

Belen Sheila Covarrubias, city hall information officer, on Tuesday said that the release of the CNA started since December 16.

“The release (of the CNA) is ongoing,” Covarrubias added.

The payment of this year’s CNA by the city government to its employees is the third since it started in 2014. (PNA)
