The unfortunate truth is that they need to retain talent. If not, many will join the private sector, and people like you may have nothing to eat.

is the PB quantum based on basic salary, monthly salary, or gross monthly salary? was told that my pb quantum should be 2.4 but it doesnt add up.

Will PB be linked to variable merit increment? Say a ranking of 4 (or probably C) will lead to increment of $X amount and a higher ranking means the merit increment is higher? Or is the increment based on one's CEP?

Hi guys,
Just wondering who actually gets A? I heard from wife there might only be one teacher in a cluster. And if get A, it is sure promotion of course.
Is that true? Just curious.

Odd. Those saying lower quantum...

I got higher than last year for the same grade. What gives?

For those who are getting bonus for the first time:

Your performance band reflects your ranking in the department (or what you call it) ~ for example, A means you are the 5% and so on.

The quantum may not be the same across the band. You may get C+ (or equivalent in your organisation) with your peers but you may receive either higher, same or lower than them. That quantum amount is decided by your boss based your performance for last calendar year.

If you are getting higher quantum than you peers in the same performance band., it may mean that you are rank higher than them within the C+ group.

Congrats and enjoy your bonus!

I think the percentage of staff who get A is between 0.5% and 1% in my ministry.

The unfortunate truth is not many will dare to join the private sector where is a real need to compete in a global economy rather than throwing out slogans such as its is necessary to continue to upgrade yourself. Does anyone in civil service face retrenchment or cut in wages for failing to upgrade or are they just stuck in that role till retirement with minimal bonuses. The service is living in a bubble-wrapped world largely free of the pressures in the global economy and would be good if it is acknowledged. Do enlighten us on how many of the top public servants/talents actually make it in a private firm (not counting the govt-linked ones as its quasi private). Of the private sector have nothing to eat, Im quite sure that the civil service would have nothing to eat too.

Anyone informed of the quantum for MI? For info, I got a B with bonus abt 3mths.
Just hope that MI for this year can be left untouched.
But we can all expect Mid year and year end bonuses to be zero as they r tied to the economy.

I am from the private sector so I would be as fair as I can here. They can have their bonuses and stuff because that is part of their pay package. It was clear when I joined the private sector that I have a much bigger ambition than what the CS can provide opportunity for (am in Banking) and honestly I hate the layers of reporting and appraisal.

Fast forward 10 years, I got to say, I had good times where the bonus is undeclared to the public and it is in the region of 6 to 10 months. I had my bad times where my entire unit was merged and 80% of my colleagues were released within days. I always know job security is never part of the equation for my job and businesses come and go.

I am actually happy that our government provided our CS with a good pay package and never shut down like our friends in US when there is a political deadlock. Those in the CS, no matter talented or not as claimed earlier, need to eat and cloth their families. They have taken the well travelled path with job security while the rest of us explore uncharted terrain and potentially gain Instant richness.

They are our brothers and sisters as well. My son and daughter go to school where they are taught well, I want the neighborhood safe with police presence, I want people to defend us 24/7 and Most recently, I want frontliners when the Covid 19 virus comes to our shore. The list goes on. They also deserve their pay for their hard work. Just that it was declared In public shouldn’t make it a subject of hate for the rest of us. It has always been a choice. If you feel the public sector is all that wonderful, then go join them. I do have many colleagues who was from CS and was so happy that they managed to get out of CS. The grass may not always be greener on the other side. Each his best.
