PNP to receive Performance Based Bonus (PBB) 2023

PNP to receive Performance Based Bonus (PBB) 2023

Qualified government employees, including police cops, may go home with a smile as they would be receiving their year-end bonus and cash gift amounting to 5,000 pesos on November 15.

The year-end bonus is equivalent to personnel’s one month salary. It is given to government workers who have rendered at least four months of service from January to October 31 of the current year and those working in the government service as of October 31 of the same year.

Those who have worked for at least four months but have retired or separated from government service before October 31 of the same year shall be granted within the month of retirement or separation, a prorated share of the year-end bonus and cash gift.

Meanwhile, 13th-month pay and other benefits, including productivity incentives that are less than P90,000, are tax-exempted per Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law.

The year-end bonus will be credited to the individual ATM payroll accounts of PNP personnel with the Land Bank of the Philippines, and is available for debit transactions.

However, the release of bonus to PNP personnel with pending administrative and criminal cases was deferred.

Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has doubled the salary of police officers across all ranks as he ordered an intensified crackdown on illegal drugs and criminality.

With the monthly base pay implemented January last year, a Patrolman (Pat/PO1) is receiving P29,668, while the PNP chief, who is ranked Police General (PGEN), is getting P121,143.

Performance Based Bonus (PBB) FY 2023

It is a bonus presented via the Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS), will be given to government employees based on their contribution to the accomplishment of their Department’s overall targets and commitments.

Under the PBB, units of Departments will be ranked according to their performance. The personnel within these units shall also be ranked. The ranking of units and personnel will be based on their actual performance at the end of the year, as measured by verifiable, observable, credible, and sustainable indicators of performance.

How much will the PBB be?

The amount will depend on the performance of each employee and the unit that he/she belongs to. This is to foster a culture of teamwork within each unit and within the department itself, especially if the latter has different kinds of outputs and services to deliver.

The Best Performer from the best-performing unit or “Best Bureau” will get a PBB of 65% of Base Pay; the Better Performer from a “Better Bureau” will get 57.5% of Base pay; while the Good Performer from a “Good Bureau” will get 50% of Base pay. However, the minority of poor performers will get no PBB.
