It is for this reason that the DBM and the GCG engaged the services of a consultancy firm this year to conduct a Compensation and Benefits Study in the Public Sector with the end in view of setting a competitive, financially sustainable, and equitable compensation package for government personnel,\u201d Pangandaman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe proposed compensation adjustment should consider not only the inflation rates and cost of living adjustments, but also standard market practices to ensure that working in government remains desirable and comparable to working in the private sector. Further, the additional costs must be within the government\u2019s financial capacity to ensure its long-term viability, which shall be maintained at a realistic level in proportion to the overall expenditure of government,\u201d Pangandaman emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Budget secretary, the Compensation and Benefits Study currently being conducted will explore various aspects of the current compensation system, including salaries, benefits, and allowances, to identify areas for improvement. By benchmarking against the private sector and considering the effects of inflation, the government seeks to establish a fair and sustainable pay structure that will enhance the welfare and productivity of its employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/1936844\/75-areas-to-get-access-to-water-through-p1-b-dbm-project-pangandaman#ixzz8ZXFIxaGb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">75 areas to get access to water through P1-B DBM project \u2013 Pangandaman<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The DBM chief likewise noted that the results of the study will serve as basis for making the necessary changes in the Total Compensation Framework (TCF) of civilian government personnel to ensure fair and timely salary adjustment for government workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur civil servants are the backbone of our nation, and it\u2019s our priority to provide them with a fair and motivating compensation system.
