Act No. 408.
Expenses and disbursements the designee is obliged to make due to the requirements of a bond in the position to which he/she has been designated.
No. It covers designation to perform the duties of (1) the head of a Bureau and also (2) any subordinate official or employee of any Office or Bureau.
The designation must be made by the proper authority and for the temporary performance of the duties of another official/employee, in accordance with Act No. 408.
Yes. It is retroactive to apply to all officials and employees who, because of such designation, have already incurred expenses in the manner described in Section 1.
The reimbursement shall be made from the appropriation for the Department, Bureau, or Office where the services are rendered due to the designation.
It links reimbursement to the appropriation of the specific Department/Bureau/Office in which the designated person renders services because of the designation.
The bond requirement is the basis for the additional expenses/disbursements that the designated person may recover, since reimbursement is limited to expenses incurred due to bond requirements for the temporarily assumed position.
The designee is entitled to reimbursement for the additional bond-related expenses as he/she is obliged to incur due to the designation.
It states the bill’s passage was expedited under Section 2 of “An Act prescribing the order of procedure by the Commission in the enactment of laws,” passed September 26, 1900.
On its passage.
Yes. Because the Act is expressly retroactive, it applies to officials/employees who previously incurred such expenses due to the designation.
Based on Section 1, the designation must be in accordance with Act No. 408; without that compliance, the statutory basis for reimbursement would be lacking.
