    • Salary Standardization Law of 2015 (SSL 2015): A legislative measure modifying the compensation and position classification system for civilian government personnel and base pay for military and uniformed personnel. It was approved by President Benigno Aquino III. The law aims for equitable pay based on equal value of work, to be comparable with the private sector, and to standardize pay across government agencies. It also focuses on performance-based incentives.

    • Guiding Principle of SSL 2015: Payment of just and equitable compensation to government personnel; comparability of pay with private sector; rationalized and standardized compensation across all government agencies; and adoption of a performance-based incentive scheme.

    • Compensation and Benefits Study for the Public Sector: A survey conducted by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to assess government pay competitiveness compared to the private sector. This study was used to determine the parameters for the new compensation plan. Towers Watson provided the consulting services.
