An Act to Amend Section One of Act Numbered Twenty-Six Hundred and Seventy-Two, Authorizing the Board of Regents of the University of the Philippines to Contract for Technical Services, Under Certain Conditions
Act No. 2787, approved on January 31, 1919, amends a previous law regarding the compensation of employees at the University of the Philippines. It establishes that the salary provisions for university personnel are permanent but allows for the temporary hiring of foreign technical staff, subject to legislative and gubernatorial approval, at higher salaries than those specified. However, current employees cannot receive a salary greater than their existing compensation. This amendment aims to enhance the university's capabilities while maintaining salary equity among its employees.
