Senator Robinhood Padilla has introduced a bill that will allow temporary or contract state workers to become permanent employees even if they are not eligible for the civil service as long as they have worked for the government for at least five years.

The inexperienced senator argued that Senate Bill 234—an act giving civil service eligibility under specific circumstances—is a chance for personnel appointed on a temporary or contract basis to become regular employees.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada earlier introduced a bill with a similar requirement; however, he only called for three years of service.

If passed, Padilla’s bill will be added to the list of special laws, rules, and orders that permit the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to grant eligibility to those who meet the requirements, including those for Bar/Board, Barangay Health Worker, Barangay Nutrition, Scholar, Barangay Official, Electronic Data Processing Specialist, Foreign School Honor Graduate, Honor Graduate, Sanggunian Member, Scientific and Technological Specialist, Skills Category II, and Veteran Preference Rating Eligibility.

For the benefit of the public, Padilla said, “It is about time we offer eligibility to our devoted casual or contractual employees of the government in order to open opportunities for higher salary positions, increase their morale and keep them engaged, and enhance their productivity.”

The bill applies to casual or contract workers who work in the first-level career civil service jobs in the administrative, trade, and custodial sectors and who perform non-professional or sub-professional tasks in either a non-supervisory or supervisory capacity.

The requirements must be met in order for a government employee to qualify, including not having an administrative case pending and not having received a final judgment of guilt for an offense or crime involving “moral turpitude, disgraceful or immoral conduct, dishonesty, examination irregularity, drunkenness or drug addiction.”

Additionally, they shouldn’t have been fired without cause from any government-affiliated civilian post or dishonorably discharged from the military.

According to the most recent CSC data, there are around 157,000 non-career or non-CSC eligible individuals working for the government; of these, 450,000 are covered by job orders, and 132,000 are employed through contracts.

Despite meeting the qualifications for education, experience, and training, the legislation prohibits an employee without CSC eligibility from being appointed to a normal post.
