This year marks the start of salary increases for employees of National Government Agencies (NGAs). The salary adjustments will be applied retroactively, starting from January 1, 2024. This means that all government employees will receive a salary differential, or back pay, dating back to the start of the year.
The government has also announced that salaries will continue to increase every year until 2027, providing more financial stability for public servants.
What Is a Salary Differential?
A salary differential refers to the extra pay that government employees will receive to make up for the difference between their old salary and the newly adjusted one. Since the increase applies starting from January 2024, employees will be paid the difference in one lump sum, known as back pay.
