Guidelines on the Grant of Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) Incentive for FY 2019

The Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) is an agreement between employers and employees, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, including wages, benefits, and working conditions. As part of the agreement, a CNA incentive is granted to employees who have successfully negotiated for better terms and conditions.

For Fiscal Year 2019, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) have issued guidelines on the grant of CNA incentive. To qualify for the incentive, the following guidelines must be met:

1. The CNA must cover the period January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2019.

2. The CNA must be registered with the DOLE within 30 calendar days from its signing.

3. The CNA must not result in any illegal strike or lockout.

4. The CNA must be implemented within 90 calendar days from the date of registration.

5. The CNA incentive must not exceed PHP 25,000 per employee.

6. The CNA incentive must be granted to employees who have worked for at least four months in the government agency or office as of December 31, 2019.

7. The CNA incentive must be pro-rated for employees who have worked for less than 12 months in the government agency or office.

8. The CNA incentive must not be used to offset any existing obligation of the government agency or office to its employees.

9. The CNA incentive must be charged against the available funds of the government agency or office.

10. The CNA incentive must be included in the payroll for the month of December 2019.

It is important to note that the grant of the CNA incentive is subject to the availability of funds. In case the government agency or office does not have sufficient funds to grant the incentive, it may explore other options, such as the use of savings or the re-alignment of funds.

In conclusion, the grant of the CNA incentive for FY 2019 is a recognition of the efforts of government employees in negotiating for better terms and conditions of employment. By adhering to the guidelines set by the DBM and DOLE, government agencies and offices can ensure that the grant of the incentive is done in a fair and transparent manner.
