Yes, generally true for officers less than 1 year to be ranked, hence default grading.

However, there are situations when there are reasons to deviate from the grading... Best to ask yourself how is your performance in relative to your peers.

What's your merit increment in absolute numbers?

I got 288 for MX11 C.

mx 12 b, 244

Relative to (high) base, I have 270, MX11, default C.

The rest, share? (Anyway, you are faceless, nameless, titleless here)

Don't understand the purpose of your question. Only think you are ignorant of timeline of Ministries. Orgns of State, SB payment timeline. Of course we would be paid when our pay day arrives. Without fail.

After reviewing my salary growth for the past 8 years, the following were observed:

a) Merit Increment (MI) is a fixed rate based on performance and CEP.

My increments were the same when I received C in 2013 and 2014
My increments were the same when I received B in 2015 and 2016

b) Promotion Increment is also a fixed rate.

My increments from MX12-MX11 (B) and MX11-MX11A (B) were the same amount.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, MI is based on PERFORMANCE AND CEP (it was in the circular). Assuming my CEP is MX10, I will get higher increment than an officer with a CEP of MX11A even if we are of the same substantive grade and given the same performance grade.

Example:

Officer A (Current Sub Grade MX11; CEP MX10) - Grade B - Increment: $3xx+
Officer B (Current Sub Grade MX11; CEP MX11A) - Grade B - Increment: $2xx+

PS: I happened to know my CEP (and reading from the many posts in this forum) hence the conclusion. Thus, it's a bit pointless to project by % increase as that is not how it calculated... Feel free to disagree.

ya its correct la...if your increment consistently below 5% then yr cep is low...if consistently above 5% then yr cep is high...cep is very important...grade less so...

Hello seniors, juz to check: i joined a stat board in feb this year. So i wun be confirmed until August this year. Am i eligible for the mid year bonus in June this year?

thanks for your insights, my case is a little strange. Got 244 MI for 2014 with a B (mx12).

this year i similarly got a B but the increment was 378 (9%)at Mx12. Is it possible that my cep was reviewed?

Yes, it got higher.
