MENDOZA, J. |
||||
| ZCWD's contention that, pursuant to Section 23 of P.D. No. 198, as amended by R.A. No. 9286, the BOD has the discretion to fix the compensation of the GM is misplaced. As held in Mendoza v. COAX (Mendoza),[16] unless specifically exempted by its charter, GOCCs are covered by the provisions of the SSL. The Court in Mendoza recognized the power of the BOD to fix the compensation of the GM but limited the same to the extent that the rates approved must be in accordance with the position classification system under the SSL. Here in this case, the salary increase of GM Bucoy, including the corresponding increase in her monetized leave credits, was properly disallowed for being in excess of the amounts allowed under the SSL. | |||||
