Senate Bill No. 49 or the Salary Standardization Law V, which Recto filed on July 1, 2019, seeks to introduce reforms in the government's compensation system to make it competitive with the private sector, and to boost the employees' morale and productivity.


If passed into law, the first tranche of the adjustment under the SSL V will take effect on January 1, 2020, with the subsequent tranche to begin in January 1, 2021, and the final tranche slated for January 1, 2022.

"Many are stranded for years, or even forever, in deadend positions where promotion is delayed or impossible because of missing rungs in the DepEd career ladder," Recto said as he calls for the creation of more salary grade.
"How? By creating Teacher IV, V, VI, VII positions, with the Salary Grades 14, 15, 16, 17 respectively. The basic starting monthly pay of the proposed Teacher IV, based on the current payscale, is P27,755; Teacher V, P30,531; Teacher VI, 33,584; and Teacher VII, P36,942," he said.
