QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 29)
A Job Order refers to hiring a worker for piece of work or an intermittent job of short duration not exceeding six months, with pay on a daily or hourly basis.
The piece of work or job must require special or technical skills not available in the agency and must be accomplished under the worker’s own responsibility with minimum supervision.
Only in the exigency of service, when it is not feasible for the agency to hire the services under a casual or contractual appointment.
There is no employer-employee relationship between the hiring agency and the persons hired under contracts of service/job orders.
To prevent misunderstanding that the Job Order services are equivalent to government service/regular employment, and to uphold the CSC position that there is no employer-employee relationship.
