What is COMELEC Salary Grade?
The COMELEC Salary Grade refers to the official pay level of employees working at the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in the Philippines. It follows the Salary Standardization Law (SSL) used by most government agencies.
Each government job is assigned a salary grade (SG) — for example, SG 1 is the lowest, while SG 33 is the highest. The higher the salary grade, the higher the monthly salary.
COMELEC employees — from election assistants to election officers and directors — are given salary grades based on their job title, rank, and responsibilities.
For example:
- Election Assistant I has SG 7
- Election Officer II has SG 15

These salary grades also increase over time through step increments and government salary adjustments.
