it is written in the circular that 13th month is not categorized under bonus...you need to understand that both mid year AVC and end year AVC budget are from PSD. when MTI announce that the economy is bad, PSD will have to re-calculate to see if the whole of civil service deserve to get mid year and end year AVC; clearly they evaluated that we shouldn't get for mid year. Whereas for 13th month, the budget is not under PSD so its up to individual ministry.

for the primary school teacher, i doubt he is under super scale grade. only principal in schools are under the super scale grade and they definitely wont be surfing the forum like he does.

How about VPs and HODs in schools? Can they be superscale too?

Or specialist teachers.

Actually this poster was convincing. Until this post. haha.

I think the person is referring to not getting AVC rather than 13th month since 13 month is the norm and AVC is the bonus on top of that. Eh sekali the pri sch teacher is some actual principal on superscale LOL

Ya cos I came across his posts last time on some teacher stuff the person seems to know a lot leh. Do you think it's a teacher trolling or someone faking to be a teacher or an actual superscale faking to be teacher?

Wa complicated this one. Let's just wait until the person reply la

I think maybe no AVS but a time off payment to civil servant for working hard through the pendemic

You mean don't even have 13th month? If like that, it will be very sad...

Confirm have 13th month one. 13th month is not under AVC, it's under Non-Pensionable Annual Allowance (NPAA). It's the AVC that has been 0/0.1 for the past few rounds

given that some SB does not have 13 mth, it would be funny for others with 13 mth to cut to 0 as it will be seen as “unfair”

Cos for those SB employees, it is in their contract clause liao. Meaning its as if like their 13th month is split into 12 portions and already added to their monthly pay, hence higher pay in SB. As compared to the other Civil service with the 13th month

Is it better to have 13th month bonus or without but incorporated into a higher monthly salary?

definitely 12 months, though you might get just slightly more in cpf from employer contribution if there's AWS.
plus you dont have the issue of not quitting earlier just to get the AWS

anyone knows if we have some chance to get MAC in december?

At most a big mac for u

Welp at least NPAA secured. Now let's hope that our performance bonus will be good

Hope they don't cut the performance bonus....

Later they suddenly say C grade get 0.1 month and B grade get 0.2 month we are doomed lor.

How much PB does a C or B grader gets? First year in CS 🙂

Depends on your scheme of service too

wisdom to keep quiet
 

often it is wise to not talk too much in the open. you all keep talking about it, skali really don't have. hope i getting my point across arrh

This won't happen one. Cos they need to have disparity between poor and good performers to maintain the competitiveness and productivity. If ppl chiong to get good grades and they get these kind of bonus compared to a D grader getting 0, nobody will perform anymore.

If first year default C then probably between 1.25 to 2. Usually 1.5

There is a percentage cut (less than 10%) for PB across the board.

Will promotion raise and merit increment be cut?

Maybe. If so, just too bad for those who promote or get a good grade this time round. It will leave a lifelong disadvantage since subsequent increments would take into account the last drawn.

hope u are right. 10% is reasonable for this climate. and the remaining 90% is still good

so a C grader will probably get 1-1.25 mth next Mar?

a C grader at mx13 will be in this range.
the higher grade u are, the more bonus.

You are stating this as a fact. As such, I would like to know first before sharing with my colleagues, what is your source?

u must be crazy to spread such rumour from an anonymous on the internet forum

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Any idea if there will be PB for those in the education sector next year?

What was it like in the past for a GEO 5 or SEO 1 officer with grade of B or B+?

There's no B+ for MOE. B or A.

B was around 2+ to 3+ for 2019 PB

A was up till 5.

For 2020 PB, hope for the best. Shouldnt fluctuate too much as Minister Chan said the AVC cut but ministry recognises through other means such as PB.

is it? didnt realise there is this news. hopefully the other means not giving some soveniour

s://.straitstimes.com/singapore/public-service-stands-with-rest-of-nation-to-face-tough-times-chan

I think this one. During the Mid year announcement.

Heng performance bonus will still be there. Or not cant imagine how all those who work and perform well in CS will feel

wow.. really got mention.. finger crossed. haha

next March will still have pB, but i'm guessing the quantum will be reduced

i guess too. thats why i hope the 10% reduction that the other guy mention is true..
because 10% reduction is still ok. hsha

10% reduction in pb really not ok lah...already the pb is so low. Around 1
5 mths for C.

i am basing on the fact that due to bad economics, we may receive even higher percentage cut.
so 10% is consider good.

1.5 = 10% cut still get 1.35

1.5 for avg performer should be a mx 13 or 12 drawing around 4 to 4.5k. so its about a $600 reduction only, i think its still ok
