Initial Implementation of New PNP Salary Structure

Applicable to all officers and enlisted personnel of the Philippine National Police.

The lowest rank, Police Officer I (PO I), shall have the same salary grade as a public school teacher, which is Salary Grade (SG) 10 under the Salary Standardization Law.
Executive Order No. 107 (June 10, 1999) establishes the equivalent SGs for each rank in the PNP hierarchy, confirming SG-10 as the minimum for PO I.
An appropriation of P2,956,000,000 under the FY 2000 GAA is allocated for the initial implementation, covering 30% of the full increment cost as per the Salary Schedule under Joint Senate-House Resolution No. 1, 1994.

Base pay for PNP officers and enlisted personnel refers to the basic pay as of December 31, 1999, as prescribed in Annex Ea of National Budget Circular 458 (1997), aligned to their designated ranks.
Adjustments to base pay effective January 1, 2000, shall follow the First Interim Salary Schedule attached as Annex A to the Circular.
The adjusted salary rates shall serve as the basis for computing longevity pay, year-end bonuses, and retirement benefits.
Existing rates for other allowances and collateral benefits shall remain unchanged.

The Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is barred from granting any salary adjustments exceeding the authorized amounts unless explicitly authorized by law or order.

The initial implementation costs of the new salary schedule are charged against the P2,956,000,000 appropriated under RA No. 8760 (FY 2000 GAA).

The Chief of the PNP is personally liable for any salary payments not in accordance with the Circular’s provisions.
Personnel receiving excess payments are required to refund such amounts.

Issues or cases not addressed by this Circular are to be referred to the Secretary of Budget and Management for resolution.

The Circular takes effect on January 1, 2000, ensuring implementation from the start of the calendar year.
