SSL 2023: Check your new salary here

Jamesryanjonas

Good news to all government employees! There’s a new round of automatic salary increases for the year 2023!

This is definitely a welcome development but take note that SSL 2023 is going to be the fourth and final tranche of automatic salary increases for government employees.

Background: On January 8, 2020, the “Salary Standardization Law of 2019” was signed into law which rolled out four (4) tranches of automatic salary increases every year from 2020 until 2023.

Under the approved Salary Standardization Law (SSL), millions of employees of the Philippine government, such as public school teachers, nurses and staff of government hospitals, and workers in local and national government agencies, will be getting automatic salary adjustment from 2020 until 2023.

For SSL 2023, all government employees will receive adjusted salaries beginning January 1, 2023. Unfortunately, the year 2023 is the final year that automatic salary adjustments will take place. There is no news yet if another round of automatic salary increases will happen in 2024.

For now, check here how much your new salary is for 2023 under the final tranche of SSL!

SG-15 is new starting salary for nurses in government hospitals

Filipino nurses will finally receive a much-deserved salary increase at a time when frontliners like them work diligently to help address the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

This is after the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) finally decided to implement Section 32 of the Philippine Nursing Act of 2002 (RA 9173). Finally, the minimum base pay for nurses working in public institutions and government hospitals has been set at SG-15.

Nurse Salary in the Philippines

Although DBM Circular 2020-4 was released in July 2020, the DBM memo stated that the salary adjustment for nurses will be retroactive to January 1, 2020. This means government nurses will be receiving salary differentials as if they already have the new SG salaries beginning January 1, 2020.

The salary increase is for all public health nurses in the Philippines — regardless if regular, casual or contractual, full-time or part-time — working in national government agencies, including state universities and colleges and state corporations, as well as local government units (LGUs) covered by the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) under Republic Act (RA) No. 6758 or the Compensation and Position Classification Act of 1989.

What’s the new starting salary for government nurses?

Entry-level nurses (Nurse 1), originally ranked Salary Grade (SG) 11, will now have a base salary grade of SG 15.

In 2023, nurses working in government hospitals will be receiving the following monthly salary.

Monthly Salary of Government Nurses in the Philippines

With the new SSL tables beginning 2020, all government employees — but excluding armed and military personnel below who already received separate salary increases — certainly benefited and will continue to benefit from automatic salary bumps until 2023.

Teachers teaching in public educational schools in the country, however, are still stuck in their existing Salary Grades (SG) and given the low SG ranks, these teachers continue to be paid deplorably low salaries. Take a look at the monthly salaries of some public school teachers in the Philippines.

The Salary Standardization Law prescribes the salary increase for “all civilian government personnel in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches, Constitutional Commissions and other Constitutional Offices, Government-owned or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) not covered by Republic Act (R.A.) No. 10149, and local government units (LGUs)”

All government personnel — regardless if regular, contractual or casual, appointive or elective, and on full-time or part-time contract — are covered by the law.

Payment for employees engaged on a part-time basis shall receive compensation proportionate to the actual services rendered.

Casual personnel, meanwhile, shall receive daily wage which shall be computed by dividing the applicable monthly salary rate by twenty-two (22) working days.

However, the following employees are excluded from the law and shall receive salaries based on separate laws applicable to their compensation:

  • (a) Military and uniformed personnel;
  • (b) GOCCs under R.A. No. 10149 which shall be covered by a Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) established by the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) and approved by the President of the Philippines; and
  • (c) Individuals whose services are engaged through job orders, contracts of service, consultancy or service contracts with no employer-employee relationship.

Continuation of Pres. Noynoy Aquino’s SSL Salary Increases

Upon full implementation in 2023, basic salaries would have increased by a weighted average of 23.24%.

Employees ranked from Salary Grade (SG) 1 to 10 will receive a salary increase from 17.5% to 20.5% from 2020 until 2023.

Those ranked SG 11 to 15 will receive the highest increase, with their salaries growing by 20% to 30% over four years.

Meanwhile, those with higher ranks, specifically from SG 25 to 33, were allocated the lowest salary percentage increase at just 8%.

By signing the law, Pres. Duterte continued the annual salary increase for government workers initiated by former Pres. Noynoy Aquino, which started with SSL 1 in 2016 ending with SSL 4 in 2019.
