The workforce rationalization program, however, is not meant to reduce city hall’s spending for manpower but to rid the local government bureaucracy of non-performers.
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Thousands of local government workers in Cagayan de Oro are facing the prospect of losing their work as city hall announced a workforce rationalization program.
JOs are workers who are contracted monthly or for at least six months, and their contracts can be renewed. In their case, there is no employee-employer relationship, and they are not entitled to benefits other than their wages. Uy, however, exempted contractual workers from a dozen offices from what city hall called a “termination order” because their tasks were crucial for public health, disaster preparedness and management response, peace and order, traffic management, sanitation, engineering, business permit-processing, and in the public cemetery.
But she said the rationalization program meant that the contractual workers’ performances would be assessed, and non-performers could be replaced. Raagas said local officials in coordination with the CPDO would assess the performances of workers “to determine the right number of casuals or JOs to retain in their offices.” Councilor George Goking, the chairman of the city council’s ways and means committee, said the size of city hall’s workforce was not financially sound.
