It is perfectly normal for a geo5 ordinary teacher drawing ordinary geo5 pay to do the work of a geo5 teacher. Teach 1 or 2 grad classes, IC for a CCA and maybe lead a small committee.

On the other hand, why are we expecting geo3s to do geo5 work while drawing geo3 pay? We see geo3s with 2-3 years of service already forced to be CCA ICs, coordinators (de facto level heads) and leading not-so-minor committees. Overworked and underpaid. Because 'school needs'.

Compensation should reflect the actual work done, period.
As a so-called hi-po officer I was doing seo2-level work (covering HOD during COVID in 2020-21) while drawing approx 5k geo3 salary lol. Yes, got A grade for both years and fast promotion to geo4, but jumped to private sector for almost 35% salary bump.
