REVISED GUIDELINES ON ACCREDITATION/RE-ACCREDITATION OF PRIVATE ENTITIES UNDER THE AUTOMATIC PAYROLL DEDUCTION SYSTEM (APDS) PROGRAM

I. RATIONALE

1. The Department of Education, as a government agency, is authorized by various laws, rules and regulations to deduct from salaries of its employees such amounts intended for the payment of contributions and other obligations due to specified government and private entities.

2. Such authorization, however, is concurrently limited by other laws. Section 21 of RA 4670 or the Magna Carta for Public School Teachers states that “No person shall make any deduction whatsoever from the salaries of teachers except under specific authority of law authorizing such deductions”.

3. Section 66, Title 1(A), Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987 provides that “Except as may otherwise be provided by law, it shall be unlawful for a treasurer or other fiscal officer to draw or retain from the salary due an officer or employee, any amount for contribution or payment of obligations other than those due the government or its instrumentalities”.

4. In addition, Congress has imposed limitations on the extent of the amount that may be deducted, as well as on the order of preference of the deductions, through the General Provisions of the General Appropriations Act (GAA). For 2018, the General Provisions of the General Appropriations Act include:

“Sec. 48. Authorized Deductions. Deductions from salaries and other benefits accruing to any government employee, chargeable against the appropriations for Personnel Services, may be allowed for the payment of an individual employee’s contributions or obligations due to the following, and in the order of preference stated below:

a) The BIR, PHILHEALTH, GSIS and HOME;

b) Non-stock savings and loan associations and mutual benefit associations duly operating under existing laws and cooperatives which are managed by and/or for the benefit of government employees;

c) Associations or provident funds organized and managed by government employees for their benefit and welfare;

d) GFIs authorized by law and accredited by appropriate government regulating bodies to engage in lending;

e) Licensed insurance companies; and

f) Thrift banks and rural banks accredited by the BSP.

In no case shall the foregoing deductions reduce the employee’s monthly net take home pay to an amount lower than Five Thousand Pesos (P5,000).”

5. In the implementation of authorized deductions, the DepEd is also under responsibility to consider the welfare of the teachers and employees. Among the powers, duties and functions of the Secretary of the Department of Education, as provided in Section 7 (A) of RA 9155 or the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001, is “(E)nhancing the employment status, professional competence, welfare and working conditions of all personnel of the Department”.

6. The responsibility to look after the welfare of teachers and employees is also a policy of the President, as stated in his Veto Message for the 2018 General Appropriations Act, as follows:

“HI. Conditional Implementation D. Protection to Government Employees

While I recognize the convenience to government employees in authorizing agencies to deduct the amount of their contributions and obligations to financing institutions under General Provisions, Section 48, “Authorized Deductions,” Volume I-B, p. 629, their overall protection remains to be my primordial concern. Government agencies are not merely collecting agents for these institutions, but influential representatives of government employees availing of this salary deduction facility. Government agencies should, therefore, leverage the facility given to these institutions to secure for government employees the most favorable terms possible for the protection of their rights and the promotion of their interest.

xxx”

7. As part of DepEd’s implementation of the authorized deduction from salaries, it has been implementing a centralized Accreditation for the inclusion of private entities in its Automatic Payroll Deduction System (APDS). The Accreditation provides standards that private entities must comply with to be included in the APDS. The Accreditation also facilitates the orderly implementation of the limitations on authorized deductions, including the observance of the minimum monthly net take home pay (NTHP) as well as the order of preference of deductions.

8. This Revised Guidelines on Accreditation/Re-Accreditation of Private Entities under the APDS is issued to enhance the existing rules and criteria for Accreditation/Re-accreditation, for continuous systems improvement. Further guidelines relative to deduction from salaries of government employees may be issued by the Department as deemed necessary.

II. SCOPE

9. The revised guidelines apply to private entities authorized under existing laws to be paid through salary deductions and applying to participate in the APDS at the national, regional, division, district and school levels.

10. Accreditation/Re-accreditation shall be valid for a period of three (3) years from the date of the signing of the Terms and Conditions of the APDS Accreditation (TCAA) by the representative of the accredited entity, unless the Accreditation is earlier revoked by DepEd for grounds as provided in the TCAA.

11. All DepEd personnel and offices at the Central, Regional, Schools Division, and school level, with or without fiscal autonomy, shall abide by these guidelines.

III. POLICY STATEMENT

12. The DepEd shall regulate the use of its APDS to facilitate and ensure orderly implementation of salary deductions authorized by law, adherence to legal limitations on salary deductions, and protection and promotion of the welfare of all teachers and employees.

13. Only entities specifically authorized by law to be paid through salary deductions of teachers’ and personnel’s contributions and obligations may apply for Accreditation/Re-Accreditation.

14. The DepEd shall impose a ceiling on interest rates, service charges, and other fees charged by lending institutions participating in the APDS.

15. The DepEd shall endeavor to prevent and eliminate illegal and unauthorized deductions from the salaries of DepEd teachers and personnel.

16. Except as otherwise provided by law, a deduction shall be allowed only upon written authorization by the DepEd teacher or personnel.

IV. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

17. A centralized Accreditation/Re-accreditation shall be implemented by the DepEd Central Office as a requirement to participation in the DepEd’s APDS. The Accredited/Re-Accredited entity shall be assigned an APDS Code, and Sub-Codes as applicable, by the DepEd Central Office (CO) through the Employee Account Management Division (EAMD), which shall act as the APDS Secretariat. However, for cooperatives whose membership is exclusive to teaching, non-teaching, and teaching-related DepEd personnel, current or retired (hereinafter referred to as “DepEd personnel cooperatives”), and whose operations are limited to one Region, accreditation is delegated to the DepEd Regional Office.

18. The Accredited/Re-accredited entity shall sign the TCAA of the APDS Accreditation and acknowledge the same before a notary public.

19. Accreditation/Re-accreditation shall be granted to entities that agree to abide by these specific guidelines, with reference to the following:

19.1 Specific authorization by law for payment of contributions or obligations through salary deductions;

23. Entities that do not have an office in a province may offer loans under APDS to DepEd personnel in that province by making arrangements and entering into legal agreements with affiliate banks, which shall act as the former’s agent. The said affiliate banks must have an office in the province that meets the requirements in paragraph 22 hereof.

24. Entities applying for re-accreditation shall have up to three (3) months to comply with paragraphs 22 and 23 from the date of the effectivity of the TCAA. Otherwise, they shall not be allowed to transact under the APDS in provinces where they have no presence.

25. Entities participating in the APDS for lending business shall conform with the ceilings on interest and non-interest rates on loans as shown below. Only loans with a term not exceeding three (3) years will be accommodated under the APDS. Illustrations for the loan computations from one (1) to three (3) years are in Annexes D-l to D-3 of Enclosure 2 of this DepEd Order.
