A person who performs his/her work with love and passion takes pride and never gets tired of doing such even if he/she knows that retirement will be at hand. This somehow end of the road for civil servants as stated in the Memorandum Circular No. 105, series of 1967 that as general guidelines, government employees holding permanent appointments become subject to automatic and compulsory retirement upon reaching the age of sixty-five (65) years or have rendered at least fifteen (15) years of service.

The Letter C provision of the Department Order No. 2012-10 (Policy Guidelines for the Hiring of Personnel Under Contract of Services/Job Order) released by the Commission on Audit (COA) states that the person to be hired must not reach the compulsory retirement age of sixty-five (65) years. However, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Circular Letter No. 2012-20 provided an exception to teaching or medical staff in educational institutions and hospitals or hired as a consultant/contract of service/job order personnel where there is no employer-employee relationship, as the case may be, with reemployment in any Branch of Government to be considered as a new entry to the civil service.

Further, Republic Act No. 9257, the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2003 promulgates that senior citizens who have the capacity and desire to work or be re-employed shall be provided information and matching services to enable them to be productive members of society.

The Bulacan State University recognizes the expertise and wisdom of the retired faculty as an asset of the University and that their desire to participate in nation-building while providing for themselves and their families should be encouraged. For these reasons, the Educational Development Office (EDO) under the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA) proposes the BulSU’s Guidelines on Rehiring Retired Faculty as Non-Regular Faculty Members.
