QuestionsQuestions (DOH ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 2006-0011)
It prescribes the policy and guidelines for claiming hazard pay of Public Health Workers (PHWs) who are exposed to risks due to the nature of their duties, workplace, and clientele.
All Public Health Workers (PHWs), regardless of the nature of their appointments.
Hazard pay for SG-1 to SG-19 is 25% of the actual present salary received.
It is pegged at Php 4,989.75 and no increase shall be made.
It determines whether the hazard pay is calculated as a percentage (SG-1 to SG-19) or fixed at a pegged amount with no increase (SG-20 and above).
Officials and employees falling under specific leave or training conditions for more than one (1) full calendar month are not entitled: vacation, sick, study leave (with or without pay); maternity/paternity and terminal leave; and full-time attendance in training grants, scholarships, seminars, or similar activities.
If the disqualifying absence is for more than one full calendar month, the PHW is not entitled to hazard pay; the guideline hinges on duration.
The text says officials and employees who fall under the listed instances for more than one (1) full calendar month are not entitled. For exactly one full calendar month, the disqualification is not clearly triggered by the wording; entitlement would depend on strict interpretation of the phrase “more than.”
No. Consultants are not entitled to the benefit.
They may only enjoy the type of hazard pay that is more advantageous to them.
Part-time officials and employees receive half of the amount received by a full-time official or employee in the same situation.
It shall be paid by their mother agency.
No. It states that all Public Health Workers regardless of the nature of their appointments are covered.
It repeals/rescinds all other issuances inconsistent with the order.
It takes effect July 1, 2006.
It is under R.A. 7305, as indicated by the title and context of the guidelines.
No. The guideline exempts those on full-time attendance in training grants, scholarship grants, seminars, or similar activities for more than one (1) full calendar month.
For SG-20 and above, hazard pay is pegged at Php 4,989.75 and no increase shall be made; thus the present salary does not change the hazard pay computation under this SG rule.
