The recommended pay structure for employees and officers has been presented in the form of a Pay Matrix Table that is open-ended and layered, intended for both civilian and armed forces personnel. The aim is to provide opportunities for merit-based progression and better salaries to avoid frustration among employees.

The proposed pay matrix is simple, transparent, and easy to comprehend, subsuming the grade pay into the overall pay levels. The new structure presents a logical pay progression to help employees understand their pay levels and career advancement possibilities.

The Commission also recommends simplified procedures for computing pensions. The proposed pay structure features distinct Pay Levels, replacing the previous Pay Scales and Pay Bands with Grade Pay status determiners.

The payment structure consists of two components – the horizontal and vertical ranges. The former pertains to the functional position within the hierarchy, numbered from 1 to 18. On the other hand, the latter covers the pay progression of each level, with a three percent annual increment.
