This Office Memorandum from the Department of Personnel and Training clarifies the process for stepping up the pay of senior Personal Assistants (PAs) of the Central Secretariat Service Scheme (CSSS) who received ACP/ad-hoc/regular promotion before January 1, 2006, and are currently earning less than those promoted after that date. The memorandum outlines specific conditions that must be met for this pay adjustment, including cadre alignment, identical pay scales, and prior pay parity. It references previous O.M.s for detailed stipulations and confirms that other terms and conditions remain unchanged. This ensures fairness and consistency in pay structures within the CSSS.
