Senators say state workers deserve night shift pay.

MANILA, Philippines – Senators Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go and Ramon Revilla Jr. said President Rodrigo Duterte gave government workers a well-deserved prize by signing Republic Act (RA) 11701, which provides for night shift differential pay.

The bill, according to Go, respects the sacrifices made by government personnel, particularly healthcare professionals.

“Bigyan natin ng benepisyong pantay-pantay. Alam niyo, napakaliit na halaga lang po yan para sa mga nagsasakripisyo para sa ating mga kababayan. Let us provide them with just compensation. That is, after all, a pittance for those who sacrifice for our countrymen) “During a visit to fire victims in UP Village, Quezon City, Go stated in an interview on Tuesday.

He advised private businesses to reward their employees’ contributions as well. Those who assist the country in surviving the Covid-19 pandemic, in especially.

Similarly, Go stated that he is fighting for a unique risk allowance for healthcare professionals.

Revilla, the bill’s author, commended his colleagues for their efforts in getting the bill passed.

“As the author of the bill, I am so happy for our government employees since we can now repay them for their diligence in serving our people,” Revilla wrote on Facebook.

Government employees, including those in government-owned or controlled enterprises, who work between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. are entitled to a night shift differential pay under RA 11701.

The law will apply to government personnel in positions ranging from Division Chief on down, as well as permanent, contractual, temporary, and casual employees.

For each hour of labor completed between the covered hours, they will be paid the night shift differential at a rate of not more than 20% of their hourly basic rate.

The night shift differential pay will be in addition to, not in lieu of, any benefits or allowances that government employees already receive.
