The implementation of the updated Salary Schedule under Executive Order No. 64, s. 2024 requires transparency and proper documentation. One of the most important tools for this process is the Notice of Salary Adjustment (NOSA). This official form ensures that every government employee receives a clear record of their salary changes effective January 1, 2026.
What Is the Notice of Salary Adjustment?
The NOSA is a formal document issued to civilian government personnel. It confirms the adjusted salary under the new schedule, compares it with the previous salary, and calculates the difference. It also serves as an official record for auditing and accountability.
Key Features of the NOSA Form
The form includes the following essential details:
Adjusted Monthly Basic Salary (Effective January 1, 2026)
Based on the new Salary Schedule.
Includes Salary Grade (SG) and Step.
Actual Monthly Basic Salary (As of December 31, 2025)
Reflects the employee’s pay before adjustment.
Monthly Salary Adjustment (Difference)
Shows the net increase or adjustment applied.
Certification by the Head of Agency
Signed by the authorized official.
Subject to review, post-audit, and refund if discrepancies are found.
Why the NOSA Matters
Transparency: Employees can verify their salary changes.
Accountability: Agencies are responsible for correct implementation.
Audit Trail: Provides a clear record for compliance with budget circulars.
Employee Confidence: Strengthens trust in the compensation system.
