I'm not yet an employee of public service, so this post may be off topic, but I've already received a provisional offer from HR (working adult with 5 years working experience+degree). When the HR 'crunch the numbers' for me, he was saying I would be drawing an average of ?k per month if I included all the bonuses with annual salary and divided by 12. The number (annual+bonuses /12) is 60% more than my monthly salary, is this realistic? Is he using a best case scenario to illustrate (best performer, economy doing very well)?

What is the estimated gauge of bonus (in terms of months maybe) in civil service now?

Just curious.
