GOCCs which do not have sufficient funds to implement fully the salary schedules provided for above may adopt their respective salary schedules at lower rates but at a uniform percentage of the salaries across all positions for the GOCC.

In the implementation of such salary schedules, whether fully or at a uniform percentage, GOCCs shall ensure that they can fund on a sustainable basis the increased salaries, including the government counterpart to the Retirement and Life Insurance Premiums (RLIP), Pag-IBIG Contributions, PhilHealth Contributions, and Employees Compensation Insurance Premiums.

9. PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES. — The Human Resource Management Officer (HRMO)/Administrative Officer (AO), or its equivalent, of a GOCC shall prepare the Notices of Salary Adjustment (NOSAs) for incumbent officers/employees by following the format marked as Annex "B" or Annex "C", whichever is applicable, for approval by the Governing Board.

9.1 For personnel whose actual monthly salaries as of 31 December 2016 exceed the rates corresponding to Step 8 of the salary grade allocation of their positions as provided for by Section 8.1, the HRMO/AO shall no longer prepare NOSAs.

9.2 For personnel whose actual monthly salaries as of 31 December 2017 exceed the rates corresponding to Step 8 of the salary grade allocation of their positions as provided for by Section 8.2, the HRMO/AO shall no longer prepare NOSAs.

9.3 For personnel whose actual monthly salaries as of 31 December 2018 exceed the rates corresponding to Step 8 of the salary grade allocation of their positions as provided for by Section 8.3, the HRMO/AO shall no longer prepare NOSAs.

The NOSAs shall be issued to the personnel concerned, copy furnished the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) or the Social Security System (SSS), as the case may be.

The compensation adjustment under this Circular shall be subject to the usual accounting and auditing rules and regulations, and to appropriate re-adjustment if found not in order. The personnel concerned shall refund any overpayments received.

10. RULES FOR ADJUSTING SALARIES. —

10.1 The salaries of an incumbent officer or employee shall be adjusted accordingly to the rates in the salary schedule corresponding to the designated steps of the salary grade allocations of their positions as of 31 December 2016, provided that their positions and salary grades, including SSL-exempt GOCCs that opted to adopt the Modified Salary Schedule under E.O. No. 201, are in accordance with the Index of Occupational Services, Occupational Groups, Classes, and Salary Grades issued under Budget Circular No. 2006-3 dated 17 May 2006, and the Index of Occupational Services attached to Corporate Compensation Circular No. 10 dated 15 February 1999, and additions/modifications thereto, whenever applicable.

10.2 If the actual monthly basic salary of an incumbent officer or employee as of 31 December 2016 falls between steps of the salary grade allocation of the position due to the grant of service award or as a result of demotion or transfer due to the exigency of the service, the salary shall be adjusted to the rate for the higher step in the applicable Salary Schedule.

10.3 If the actual monthly basic salary of an incumbent exceeds that for Step 8 of the salary grade allocation of the position as of 31 December 2016, the employee shall not be entitled to salary increase.

10.4 The salaries/wages of incumbent contractual/casual personnel as of 31 December 2016 may be adjusted to the rates corresponding to Step 1 of the salary grade allocations of their positions in the salary schedule in Section 8.1, effective 01 January 2017. The adjusted daily wage rates of casual personnel shall be computed by dividing the monthly rates by 22 work days per month.

10.5 Personnel who resigned/retired after 31 December 2016 shall be granted the difference between their salary rates prior to their resignation/retirement with the rates prescribed under the applicable period under Sections 8.1.

10.6 Compulsory retirees whose services have been extended beyond 31 December 2016 shall be entitled to salary increases effective 1 January 2017, following items 10.1 to 10.3 of this Circular, whichever is applicable. However, their retirement benefits, including Terminal Leave Benefits, shall be computed based on their monthly basic salaries as of the day prior to the effectivity of their retirement, consistent with existing laws, rules and regulations.

11. NON-DIMINUTION OF AUTHORIZED SALARIES. — In the implementation of this Circular, there shall be no diminution in the authorized salaries of incumbent officers and employees.

12. COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS (CBAs) AND COLLECTIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENTS (CNA) IN THE GOCC SECTOR. — The Governing Boards of all covered GOCCs, whether Chartered or Non-chartered, may not negotiate the economic terms of their CBAs with their officers and employees.

CNA Incentives, which primarily cover savings from the COBs of Chartered GOCCs, shall continue to be governed by the policies and guidelines established by the DBM, but shall extend to cover non-chartered GOCCs to promote uniformity of allowable incentives in the GOCC Sector. Incentives allowed by the CSC such as, but not limited to, the Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence, shall continue to be governed by the policies and guidelines of CSC, as well as other pertinent laws, rules and regulations.

13. FUND SOURCES. — The amounts required shall be charged against the GOCCs' approved Corporate Operating Budgets (COBs) under its Personnel Services (PS), provided that it shall be prohibited to source the payment from the following:

(a) Loans;

(b) Subsidy from the national government for the GOCC's operations, except for subsidy income or subsidy given by the DBM precisely for the payment of Personnel Services; and

(c) Sale of the GOCC's asset(s) for the sole purpose of compensation adjustment.

Furthermore, the GOCC shall not increase its service fees for the purpose of augmenting any deficiencies in the amounts required herein. Provided further, that the implementation of their programs/projects and attainment of performance targets for the year are not adversely affected.

14. RESPONSIBILITIES OF GOCCs. — GOCCs shall be responsible for the proper implementation of the provisions of this Circular. The responsible officers shall be held liable for any payment not in accordance with the provisions hereof without prejudice to the refund by the employees concerned of any excess or unauthorized payments.

15. SANCTIONS. — Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Circular shall be considered a serious offense of the GOCC in general, and the Governing Board and Management of the GOCC in particular. Upon prior notice and an opportunity to be heard, the GCG may impose any, or a combination, of the following sanctions:

(a) Withdraw and revoke any of the incentives that the members of the Governing Boards, officers and the rank-and-file employees would otherwise enjoy under R.A. No. 10149, and such other benefits that are not provided in R.A. 10149 and E.O. No. 36 (2017);

(b) Recommend to the President the non-reappointment or replacement of the Appointive Directors of the GOCC concerned; and

(c) Render the GOCC ineligible for the Performance Based Bonus/Performance Based Incentive.

16. RESOLUTION OF CASES. — Cases not covered by the provisions of this Circular shall be referred to the GCG for resolution.

17. EFFECTIVITY. — This Circular shall take effect immediately upon its publication in the Commission's website at www.gcg.gov.ph.
