Imagine you are the boss...1 employee just came in and only on 1 year contract...then not around for 4 months...basically only around for 8 months as a newbie

If the boss is kind, you'll probably get the lowest band of the average grade, which means minimal increment. May decide not to renew your contract after 1 year

If the boss is not so nice, you'll get a below average grade, which means the lowest increment. Definitely won't renew your contract.

Pray for a good boss I guess? Public sector advocate for people to give birth and all, but any superior can use other reasons to render you unnecessary if you don't hit KPI or produce results (regardless of whether its directly or indirectly due to your maternity leave).

Thanks very much for the insights!! Agree with the scenarios you have listed and can only hope for the best! I was offered the role when I was already pregnant so they were actually aware of my situation beforehand but still decided to proceed with the one year contract. But I’m fine either way cause I’m also not sure if I want to stay in govt sector or go back to private. However, if they do not want to renew my contract, would I still receive any PB in March (assuming the grade I receive does have some PB under normal circumstances)? Or would I not be graded at all since they are not intending to renew?

thanks for the insights!! agree with the scenarios you have listed although they do know of my pregnancy when offering me the role. Should they not want to renew my contract, would I still get any PB (assuming my performance is actly decent during the months where i’m working)?

When is performance bonus is credited to salary?

In last week of March

what is consider below average grade? and how much PB and merit increment will there be?

Anything below C is below average. PB and merit increment will depend on the grade

if C- how many months PB and how many % merit increment?

Should be 1.1 to 1.5 months

Confirmation increment
 

Hi, I will be confirmed next month. Can check what's the usual increment bonus like for mx12, and if I can get the pro-rated annual increment in Apr too? Thank you

what about % of merit increment for C- grade?

How to determine the grading given based on performance appraisal alone
 

I have a question in regards to performance appraisal in civil service:

Is performance grading based on the meeting/exceeding the 6-8 pointers in the appraisal form?
For instance, having being ‘assessed’ as exceeding up to 4-5 out of 8 pointer in the forms by superior; does this mean possible PB grading of at least B and above?

No. You first need to give way to the people that need to promote first. PSC scholars, normal scholars and people who may have been in service for a long time the boss feels "is about time" that they promote.

Once those people are given the quota, then they will look at what remains and just see if they are going to give it to you compared to other people.

Technically these are ********….if they want to promote u…..anything also can

Hi all,

I joined the service at MX12 and have the default C during my first year, and C+ for the next 2 years.

Have not been promoted yet or had any title change to "Senior XX". Can i check what is usual progression for a normal farmer? I heard some of my colleagues had title change to "Senior XX" after 3 years.

Is C+ a sign that they recognise my hard work but does not want to promote me because i am not a scholar?

I'm in my 4th year now and wondering if at this rate, there is even a chance at being promoting.

See if there's any promo in April. If still don't have, maybe it's time to explore other options...

You joined immediately after graduation? Or do you have some years of experience elsewhere first?

Always thought uni grad join at MX13 first...

means u r not good enough for Bs

Had 1yr+ experience in an unrelated industry

MAS bonus good anot??

Confirmation
 

My 1 year mark is coming up next month. When will HR notify me if I am confirmed or not? My bosses have submitted their input. Thank you

0.5 months onwards

MX13 to MX12
 

Anyone knows MX13 to MX12 for fresh grads after 1 year, promotion increment + merit increment about how much?

two hundred dollars

I'm an MX12. Received a C+, B, A in the past 3 years. "A" is the most recent one. Will I be promoted to 11 or 11a?

I’m a MX11, still pending emplacement at the end of the year. But I was just informed informally that I have gotten a C+ for my performance this year. Is this considered good?
And what will be the expected salary increment and pb?

C+ is a fantastic result
Creme de la creme

You can expect 6-8mths bonus
And 10-15% increment

wow, that seems a lot. are you sure?

Try getting Bs and As first?

must be dreaming

Ya I think this person is trolling ..

C is default, B is good. C+ is something in between - it also means bosses fought for you because its easier to just give a C.

Depending on Performance Grades, merit increments are typically between 3-5%. Performance bonus wise for grade 11, I can't recall off hand but a C is 2 months, B is 3 months. So C+ will be somewhere in between.

Hope this helps.

C is 2 months and C+ 2.5 and B 3.5

different ministries and agencies will probably have a different range

i think some places only around 2.5 months for B

2 months for C+

1.5 months for C

why they never promote you in your 'A' year?

"A" is this Mar's grade. Just confirmed.

Should be promotion year le

One year in service what u expect. C+ consider not bad liao
I presume is from pte sector joining ps

Yes u r right.. haha. I was expecting default C cos heard that before emplacement will not be graded?

when is announcement of PB?
