KUMBINSIDO ang Department of Budget and Management (DBM) na matatapos pagsapit ng buwan ng Hunyo ang pag-aaral hinggil sa isinusulong na salary adjustment para sa mga kawani ng pamahalaan.
Ayon kay Budget Secretary Mina Pangandaman, target ng pamahalaan tiyakin angkop, sapat at hindi nalalayo sa sweldo ng mga pribadong empleyado ang antas ng sahod ng mga kawani ng gobyerno.
Sa pangunguna ng DBM at Governance Commission for Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations (GCG), kabilang sa mga target itaas ang antas sa ilalim ng Compensation and Benefits Study ang iba’t ibang aspeto ng kasalukuyang sistema sa pasahod ng pamahalaan – basic pay, benepisyo at allowances.
“We recognize that the rising cost of the basic commodities and services in the country highlights the need to review the current state of compensation of government employees,” paliwanag ni Pangandaman.
“It is for this reason that the DBM and the GCG engaged the services of a consultancy firm this year to conduct a Compensation and Benefits Study in the Public Sector with the end in view of setting a competitive, financially sustainable, and equitable compensation package for government personnel,” dugtong pa ng DBM chief.
Bagamat kabilang sa ikokonsidera sa antas ng umento ang inflation o ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga pangunahing bilihin, nilinaw ng opisyal na kailangan pasok sa kapasidad ng pamahalaan ang dagdag-sahod na tinutulak para sa mga civil servants.
“Our civil servants are the backbone of our nation, and it’s our priority to provide them with a fair and motivating compensation system. This study marks a crucial step towards a civil service that is not only efficient and productive but also just and rewarding,” aniya pa.
“As we anticipate the completion of this pivotal compensation and benefit study, our resolve remains firm: To uphold the dignity of public service by ensuring our civil servants are rewarded in a manner that truly reflects their worth to the nation,” pagtatapos ng Kalihim.
