The first of the four-tranche salary increase for government employees would likely be released this month, the Department of Budget Management (DBM) said.
Secretary Amenah Pangamdaman said the actual schedule for the release will depend on how quickly government agencies can complete their computations.
“Ito na, baka itong month na ito mabigay ang retroactive nila depende sa agency. Kailangan mabilis po mag compute ang ating mga ahensya,” according to her.
Pangandaman added that mid-year bonus of government workers is also included in the release.
“Napirmahan na po kaninang umaga (Monday morning) ‘yung National Budget Circular at saka Local Budget Circular. So, we expect that ang publication nito ay by (Tuesday),” she added.
“But in the meantime, napadala na rin po natin ‘yung guidelines sa ating national government agencies para masimulan na po nila ang computation ng mga adjustments.”IMT
