Govt salary hike a go – Andayahome/News/Top Stories/Govt salary hike a go – AndayaThe salary hike for government employees and military personnel that will be implemented next year would not be affected even if the signing of the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for 2019 will be delayed, House Majority Leader Rolando Andaya Jr. said on Saturday. He described as “fake news” rumors that the pay hike depends on the budget. “It will go on as programmed, even in the event of a slight delay in the signing into law of the 2019 budget. Andaya explained that “[t]he authorization for the salary hike for civilian government employees and military personnel are governed by two separate laws. He added that the pay hike before that, SSL III, ran from 2009 to 2012, through EO 811 which was signed by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
