MOE they have MX13, MX12, MX11 etc.. wonder what's poly lecturer's pay scheme and what is the salary range.

The following is the lecturer pay scale from a certain poly, but it is old info that I dug out from my personal notes (6 years old):

L1 6650 * 290 - 8100
L2A 6330 * 285 - 6900
L2 5065 * 285 - 6490
L3 4260 * 230 - 5640
L4 3425 * 190 - 4755
L5A 2680 * 165 - 4165
L5 2000 * 160 - 2760

For each L level, the first number is the minimum basic pay, the second number is the yearly increment quantum, and the third the max basic.

I was at L4 and was getting close to 80k per year when bonuses were included. I also taught part-time at SIM University, getting about 10-20k per year. But again, this was 6 years ago.

Just wondering.

If a person got a degree from a private University, what scheme will they be under? And what will the pay for the scheme be like?

entered in 2003 earning 1.8k
recently just promoted in july now may pay merely 3.2k
bonuses subjected to economical downturn
7 years in service
29 years old now.
poly kia senior techician
wonder how does this compare to outside world.

frankly speaking, i dun recommend poly people work as civil servant, they are of great disadvantages.

Only degree holder is good to be civil servant, starting pay can be as high as $4000 for 1st class people.

poly people should work in private sector , and clock OT pay, civil service sure no OT pay.

so 7 years ur total increment is 3200-1800 = 1400, is average $200 annual per year.

200/1800 = abt 10% increment.

i also degree holder, my annual increment is abt 3% only, my basic is 3k , means $90 annual increment only in private sector. which is much much worst than you.


all i can say is that civil service give good annual increment, with annual package of abt 16months for average performer. which is not bad.

previous posts also reveal an NUS 2nd upper art grad(non scholar), having starting pay 3.2k in 2007 , and in 2010 he is getting 4.4k, mean annual increment of abt $300 for 4 years. The annual increment for civil service win the private sector, i must admit., compare to my 90-100 annual increment -_-"

thanks for the breakdown man. often heard poly pple doing much better outside than me. now i noe its kinda true. many thanks man.

I am 30 years old, had a first degree in science and an MBA. I only earn 2.6kpm, annual is about 40000 with bonus. I think i am the WORSR case scenorio in Singapore. Worse than Poly people. True?

This person <<let me guest>> is far far better than you, he poly only, and current salary is $3200, more than your $2600 despite you got MASTER degree.

Assume he is average performer with annual 16 months package from civil service, Annual he got 3200 x 16 = $51200, much much better than your $40000.

Oh how depressing. So how much should i be looking at salary?

I kinda like my current job really, but really the pay 2.6pm for MBA is rock bottom low. it is like a fresh grad pay. and till think i work for 5 years now, plus NS is 7.5 years!
