Law Summary
Salary Schedule under RA 6758
- RA 6758 prescribes only a single salary step for Salary Grades 30 to 32, specifically the 1st step.
- This limitation means no multiple steps or increments were initially indicated under this law for these grades.
Provisions under Executive Orders No. 164, 218, and 290
- These Executive Orders supplement RA 6758 by providing a detailed salary structure.
- Salary Grades 30 to 32 are given eight (8) salary steps each.
- These steps allow for salary increases based on length of service or other criteria as per the orders.
Determination of Step Increments
- The step increments due to length of service for officials in Salary Grades 30 to 32 are to be based on the salary steps provided in the Interim Salary Schedules under EOs 164, 218, and 290.
- This means that despite RA 6758 indicating only one step, the more detailed structure under the EOs governs the step increments.
