1.0 Background

Executive Order (EO) No. 201, s. 2016 entitled, Modifying the Salary Schedule for Civilian Government Personnel and Authorizing the Grant of Additional Benefits for Both Civilian and Military and Uniformed Personnel' was signed by the President in accordance with the authority vested in him under Presidential Decree (PD) No. 9851 and Congress Joint Resolution (JR) No. 4, s. 2009.
The issuance of EO No. 201 is consistent with the governing principle of the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS), as espoused under Congress JR No. 4, that compensation of government personnel shall be generally comparable with those in the private sector doing comparable work in order to attract, retain, and motivate a core of competent civil servants.
EQ No. 201 provided for a four-year (2016-2019) implementation of the compensation
adjustment.

Further, EQ No. 76, s. 20191 amended Section 15(a) of EQ No. 201 which provides the funding sources for the amounts necessary to implement the said EQ.
