QuestionsQuestions (KKPP DEPARTMENT ORDER NO. 22, S. 1993)
It provides that no government official/employee who remains temporarily at one station for more than one (1) month shall be paid per diems in excess of one (1) month, except upon approval of the head of the department; and if the temporary stay exceeds three (3) months, payment is allowed only upon approval of the Secretary.
The head of the department.
Only the Secretary.
They were authorized to collect the corresponding per diems and transportation and freight expenses under Section 74, Rule VI, of Executive Order No. 292.
To provide clarity and uniformity in the grant and payment of relocation pay to the department’s concerned staff.
Only one (1) month per diem may be authorized and collected; in no case shall payment of per diems in excess of one (1) month be allowed.
No. The Order states that in no case shall payment of per diems in excess of one (1) month be allowed, despite EO 292’s general approval mechanisms.
It provided that the corresponding transportation and freight expenses for only one (1) month shall be authorized to be collected.
Subject to existing accounting and auditing rules and regulations.
It was adopted on 19 November 1993 and states: 'This order shall take effect immediately.'
Corazon Alma G. De Leon, who signed as Secretary.
It bases the initial authorization on EO 292 (Sections 73 and 74) but then imposes a stricter internal rule for clarity and uniformity: only one (1) month per diem and the corresponding transportation and freight expenses are allowed, with no excess.
It imposes a stricter internal rule by categorically forbidding per diem payments in excess of one (1) month, even though EO 292 allows exceptions upon approval.
EO 292 would require approval of the Secretary for per diems in excess of one (1) month if the stay exceeds three (3) months. However, the Department Order forbids per diems in excess of one (1) month in no case, so only one month’s per diem (and corresponding transport/freight for one month) would be allowed under the order.
