Aed scheme
 

Anyone familiar with AED scheme?

I entered with a masters and a FCH degree as an AED13

2016 aed13 C 4.1k
2017 aed12 C+ 4.4k
2018 aed12 C 4.6k
2019 aed12 grade not know yet but maybe C or C+ 4.9k

Can anyone advise on the trajectory? How long will i stay as aed12? I think i am working pretty hard already, what can i do to move myself faster along the ladder?

AED = allied educator?

no offence but if it's rly allied educator, then u kana shortchange. with a FCH, u can easily be on a MOE teaching scholarship or at least a teacher with the potential/CEP to be a HOD in the future.

Uni grad who is working at 1 of the Ministries here. Got a C- for my performance this year, and my contract wasn't renewed either. Anyone knows how bad a C- is?? Wanna enter the civil service again in the future, would it be possible with a C-? Default grade is a C so I know it's below average but that's about it...

You must have done badly for that to happen. But all is not lost. There have been instances of staff who got let go for performance issues finding work at other Ministries/ stat boards. Good luck.

Really, thanks a lot for your encouragement! Yes, I do hope I will be able to find another civil service job next time.

Were you on emplacement scheme after 1st year. Not getting emplaced is almost unheard of.

Allied educator is mainly to help children in mainstream schools with special needs.

Very noble but thankless job.

Sidetrack a bit. Just made a quick poll on year-end bonus. Lai lai take your pick:

"How much do you think the civil servant year-end bonus will be?"

I think that would depend on the ministry you are in... I think mine takes a more 'wait and see approach'. I know 2 uni grads/diploma holders from my department who entered the same time I did (same scheme different ranks), and none of us were converted into perm staff after our 1st year.

I am also a uni grad who got a first job in 1 of the Ministries. Please don't mind me asking but, do you perhaps know why you were given C-? I am super worried that I will be given C- as well as I have been making a lot of mistakes when trying to do tasks...

Yes, my superiors told me that I made some small mistakes, plus 1 of them was quite serious to them, hence the C-. I think it does depend on how strict your RO is; I managed to get an average grade last year with my former RO, but he was transferred this year and my new RO had much higher expectations.

I think you can try asking your RO what grade you will be getting (both my ROs told me mine). The default grade is a C, so I don't think you need to worry so much (especially since it's your first year and your superiors are much more likely to be lenient). You should be fine, best of luck!

To learn we must make mistakes. I think for first year should be grade free year. Grading only start at 2nd year of service. This encourage experimentation

Hopefully! Hopefully it's a grade free year for me...
All the best to you too, and thank you for sharing

Was given a number of responsibilities this year and I think I have done them pretty well. However, it is my year of promotion, as such, I was told that I will be getting a C+. Not that bad, but I am wondering how likely it is for someone to go above a C+ grade in the year of promotion.

Well I did get a B on the year of promotion so it's possible!

If they aren't emplacing you means there's insufficient perm headcount estab?

Otherwise, who will be doing the work that you are currently doing?

Yup, there's insufficient staff where I am from. My bosses are in the midst of interviewing potential candidates to take my place (possibly someone with more job experience), but there's no telling when they will find anyone suitable. So my colleagues will temporarily take over my work for now.

Eligible for Mar PB?
 

Hi if I join in Jan will I be able entitled to pro rated PB in Mar the same year? Thanks in advance.

The pb is for the work done in the year before.

Performance Bonus
 

Does anyone knows how much a Sg Public MSO4 officer gets for his Performance Bonus if he has a C Grading for his performance appraisal ?

Just wonder if C grade is the norm? I'm in my third year and so far I have gotten A twice

MSO scheme PB
 

Anyone here who is from the MSO (Management Support Officer) scheme ? Any ideas what a MSO4 (or higher) officer will get for his PB with a C or B grading in his performance appraisal?

Tks.

Bump for yearly discussion

Are you that ignorant or acting humble? Anyway your A will not be long-lived.

Wow. Perm sec calibre

Performance Bonus Quantum
 

Do note, quantum will be low this year.

Any idea how much lower?

0.8 i presume!

If we compared the bonus rate for C grade to EOY bonus. I think this year perf bonus should fixed at 0.1 or 0.2.

Source: just self thinking

I would think 0.5 is more equitable.

Ouch. That would be really painful.

Quick qn. If i resign say late feb or early march, will i still get my PB for this year? If not, till when should i stay?

I think once they announce pb and pb credited to your account. U can serve notice and resign.

So for three months notice about June?

But pb is quite sad. Generally abt two months. If u got a nice job offer now just jump.

2 months PB is considered sad?

I am wondering if there is a need to wait till pb credited. Can't i give a 1 month notice in feb and serve a little bit past the day when pb is credited?

The moment you resign without the PB being credited to your account the PB is forfeited. Even one day before also forfeited.

You mean resign as in terminate service and not tender right? As long as i am in service i get the PB, if i understand u correctly?

Those serving notice will not be entitled to pb.


Is the two months salary worth your better prospect pre sector?


I say either forgo pb, just jump.
Or take pb and serve notice after pb is in it bank account

So all in all, how much bonus will an average performing civil servant get for the whole of 2019?

2months sound reasonable
