Mengich said the review was based on factors including the remuneration and benefits structure considering the employees who are below the market positioning.

“Therefore, this review seeks to adjust salary structures that are below the 50^th percentile to achieve equity and fairness through harmonization to the extent of affordability and physical sustainability,” Mengich said.
