Not just want a link but must also be clear lol

Take it you already understand the difference between NPAA, AVC like mid-year and end-year bonuses recently announced as they are not based on individual performance

Coming back to the question, public service stat boards are their own employers. So while some link may be inferred based on past years trends since civil service as the largest employer has set the tone, will be surprising if even HR is able to provide a firm answer

Maybe you can try asking HR - or your boss ~
