Slide Title
Classification System (CPCS) for GOCCs
 GOCC Governance Act of 2011 (Republic Act 10149), the GOVERNANCE
COMMISSION FOR GOVERNMENT-OWNED OR -CONTROLLED
CORPORATIONS (GCG) was mandated to:
(a) Classify GOCCs;
(b) Develop and recommend a competitive compensation and remuneration
system which shall:
— attract and retain talent
— allow the GOCC to be financially sound and sustainable
(c) Develop a COMPENSATION AND POSITION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
(CPCS) which shall apply to all officers and employees of GOCCs.

4
 Slide Guiding
CPCS Title Principles
1. Provide GOCCs with adequate operational autonomy and flexibility towards
ensuring efficient and effective implementation of a total compensation framework
to ensure:
(a) The adoption of reasonable, justifiable and appropriate remuneration
schemes to prevent or deter the granting of unconscionable and excessive
remunerations packages;
(b) Generally be competitive with the private sector doing comparable work,
and in compliance with prevailing laws on minimum wage;
(c) Operate within their affordability limits and sustainability capacities,
and in accordance with their overall size as provided herein;
(d) Adhere to the principle of equal pay for work of equal value; and
(e) The rewards system supports and encourages performance-driven,
productive, and efficient organizations.

5
Guiding Principles (cont’d)

2. The CPCS shall be updated periodically by GCG based on

the following:
(a) A review of the GOCC compensation rates;
(b) The performance of the GOCC and its overall
contribution to the national economy;
(c) Drastic changes in market or business environment;

3. The CPCS shall cover all positions, on full or part time basis

 Level of Contribution

Determining the Career Level and Job

Grade
The size of the organization determines the number
of Job Grades a GOCC may have. It also impacts the
Job Grades of Jobs in the Executive Band of the
CPCS.
12
Step 1: Determining
Slide Title Size of the Organization

CLASSIFICATION OF GOCCS BY OVERALL SIZE. – For purposes of the CPCS,

GOCCs are classified in accordance with their overall size determined by getting the
average of the following three (3) factors:

(a) Company Financials;

(b) Number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Employees; and
(c) Geographical Scope and Business Complexity.

If the resulting average grade is a decimal number, the figure shall be rounded off to
the nearest whole number for the GOCC’s overall grade / size as categorized below:

CLASSIFICATION AVERAGE GRADE

Small 16
Medium 17 to 18
Large 19 and Up
The classification shall be based on an official certification issued by GCG, covered by supporting instruments and
documents. GCG may change a GOCC’s classification 13
Step 1: Determining
Slide Title Size of the Organization

1. Company Financials shall be based 2. Number of FTE Employees. – GOCCs

Role the GOCC
1. Each covered GOCC shall adopt a Total Compensation Framework (TCF), subject
to the approval of the President of the Philippines in accordance with the favorable
recommendation of the GCG.
If no action is taken by the Office of the President within 45 days of receipt, the
same shall be deemed approved unless the Office of the President informs the GCG
otherwise.
2. Implementation of compensation adjustments shall depend on the financial
capability of the GOCC and their Corporate Operating Budget as approved by GCG,
and those approved by the DBM for entities receiving allocations for the National
Government
3. Basic Salaries – if there are affordability concerns, the GOCC may propose a salary
range for each Job Grade that falls below the salary ranges prescribed in the EO, taking into
account the financial standing of the GOCC as well as the sustainability of the compensation
framework.

— Upon appointment to regular status, pay may be increased to the minimum
— For individuals who exceed the minimum CSC Qualification Standards, the
hiring rate may be set until 5% above the minimum of the salary range
 For JG 12 and above
— The hiring rate may be set up to 10% above minimum if the individual exceeds

• (Job Grade 5 – Job Grade 4)/Job Grade 4 = (14,788 – 13,214)/13,214
• 11.91%
• Raise salary by 11.91% = 14,800 * (1 + 11.91%) = 16,563.

 Merit Increases – in order to support a performance-driven organization,
GOCCs may recommend merit increases subject to GCG’s approval:
 Step 1: Determine the salary increase budget for the year. Consider
projected market salary increase and the GOCC’s affordability to pay
 Step 2: Determine the performance rating distribution under the GOCC’s
Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) or equivalent.
Implementing guidelines may vary year-on-year depending on considerations
such as budget. The table below shows the recommended distribution of the
GOCC’s population:
Performance Rating Recommended

Very Satisfactory 20%
Satisfactory 50%
Unsatisfactory 15%
Poor 5% 44

 Merit Increases (continued)

 Step 3: Allocate percentage increases depending on individual performance.
The following additional factors may be considered
— Current position in the salary range
— Rate of progress and future potential (increase the time interval and/or
decrease size of increase for individuals approaching what appears to be
the ultimate potential)
— Foreseeable promotion opportunities
— Salary increase budget
 The Governing Board through Management may withhold unearned
increases from a poor performer where appropriate
 In no case shall implementation of a merit increase result in raising the
current salary of an individual above 25% of the maximum for his/her job

New Title Methodology
Leveling
• An objective basis for establishing job levels was used
- The CPCS adopted a proven job evaluation methodology used
globally
- Jobs were evaluated based on job content and not on jobholders’
qualifications, tenure or performance

• No comparison may be made between the old index of

occupational services and SSL vs. the new position classification
system
- The job evaluation rating plans are different
- The new system is job-based

The previous SSL salary grades and steps will no longer apply.
The new CPCS job grades will now be adapted.

Slide
New Title Methodology
Leveling
• Perceived move to a lower level
- This is not a demotion.
- There will be no pay cut nor discontinuance of benefits currently enjoyed.
- There may be an opportunity for the incumbent to aspire for a job
commensurate to his qualifications and experience.
- If a new person is hired for the job, the new person’s pay and benefits will be
in accordance with the job level of the job and not the level of the predecessor
incumbent of the role.

• Perceived move to a higher level

- This is not a promotion.
- An assessment will be made of the person occupying the job to determine
whether his qualifications warrant movement to the level where the job
belongs.
- Once the incumbent is confirmed, all the salaries and benefits attributed to the
level of the job will be accorded the jobholder. Should the qualifications and
experience of the incumbent jobholder not match that of the new role, then
this may be an opportunity to move the incumbent to a job more suitable to his
54
qualifications and experience.
Key Communication Message:
Slide Titleof the New Compensation System
Implications
• The Salary Ranges were developed to be generally closer to the roles in the
private sector doing comparable work, within the affordability limits and
sustainability capacities of the GOCCs

• As an outcome of the updated position classification and Salary Ranges, not

all employees’ current salaries will fall neatly into the new Salary Ranges.
This outcome is typical even with the private sector.
