The Negros Occidental Sangguniang Panlalawigan on Tuesday, August 20, approved the implementation of the first tranche of the mandated salary increases for the provincial government employees.
Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson, in his State of the Province Address, said he had requested the SP to grant its implementation effective August 2.
The granting of the salary adjustments and allowances to Negros Occidental provincial government employees is mandated in the Modified Salary Schedule for Local Government Personnel contained in Executive Order No. 64, Series of 2024 issued by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
EO 64 grants a four-tranche salary increase and a medical allowance to government workers to be implemented from 2024 to 2027.*
