Exhibit Page 1 of 1

“Public Service Human Resources Administration Act of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico” [Act 184-2004, as 

amended]

[...] alternative compensation may be used to: retain qualified personnel, obtain qualified personnel for 

difficult-to-recruit positions, and motivate employees.

(a) Certificates of recognition for the work performed.

(b) Productivity bonus, representing twenty (20) percent of biweekly wages.

(c) Bonuses for work team performance.

(d) Activities in which the employee is informed of the successes achieved by the agency and employee 

recognition activities.

(e) Training in and outside of Puerto Rico.

(f) Graduate and undergraduate scholarships.

(g) Gymnasium facilities, health units, cafeterias, childcare.

(h) Benefits of lodging, meals and uniforms for all employees who require them due to the nature of the 

service they perform.

(i) Bonuses for attendance and punctuality; such bonus shall be separate and apart from any 

corresponding payment for excess accumulated leave.

(j) Bonus to employees who retire from the system.

(k) Days or hours granted without charge to any leave balance.

2. All employees have the opportunity to develop professionally, either on their own initiative or as managed 

by the organization. Some payment methods that promote these considerations are:

(a) Additional skills-based pay — To the extent that employees develop and apply alternative skills to 

their main function, additional compensation may be granted as part of their salary.

(b) Competency development — To the extent that the agency knows what competencies are required 

for excellent employee performance, it may select and train individuals to achieve that level of 

performance. As a result, when employees perform at an optimal level, overall performance of the 

agency is maximized. This premise implies that every employee who succeeds in implementing the 

new work processes desired by the agency and who manages to be a driver of continuous change 

and innovation shall receive competency-based pay.

(c) When recruiting personnel, an economic incentive can be incorporated as part of the base salary. It 

shall be awarded in classes where a high level of education and experience is required.

(d) Salary adjustments subject to performance and productivity evaluations.

3. [Three-Year Increase] — Non-union and managerial public employees who have held a regular position 

for a continuous period of three years of service, without having received any other salary increase shall 

receive an increase of up to five (5) percent of their salary or its equivalent in intermediate rates. Employees

must have demonstrated satisfactory service during the three-year period as evidenced by their evaluation 

sheets. The Appointing Authority shall send a written notice to any employee who fails to meet this

consideration. The notice shall include the reasons why the employee is not given the aforementioned 

increase and shall warn the employee of the right to appeal before the Appeals Commission.
