From SB here, PB out 23 march... Sad is no hard news on any deduction

Don't play leh, out also is for the whole of last year... nothing to do with this year bonus or PB

Haahaaa........

Bonus also calculated based on March pay, not your new pay from Apr onward

Sian pay going up

I mean tax

Side question : was anyone promoted the year when there was paycut (during Asian financial crisis time) and the quantum for PB/ VMI affected? Was there "reimbursement" after the crisis was over?

Lai liao, email sent liao

what? your resignation letter ah?

The Year end bonus

Yup 2008 crisis, the following year 09, mid year zero bonus, follow by 0.25 for year end inclusive 13th month.

Following year, 2010 economy picked up, bonus was good for year end of 2010.

2011 PB was damn good. Assuming if you getting 3 months, you will be getting another extra 2 months if I remember correctly. So total for that March alone is 5 months plus your salary 6 months.

A few of colleagues changed their car.

So I believe, once everything resume as per pre covid19, we will be reimbursed.

Bonus quantum lowered for Mar 2021
 

Got notified by my boss that PB across the board got lowered this year. FYI all :((

this is based on what mx grade?
i am mx11a, last yr B already 3.5

wa.. really ar? your boss what level? i thought only HR will know

grade 9
band 5+ last yr - 4months

Lower by how many percent?

ya. my PB was 31 mar also or sometime then, very late like last few days of the month. not stanrdardize across board

u must be very new or blur blur. how can ir8e see this year income, it's past year 2020 YA laarrr aiyo mak oi

i think he or she mean can calculate 2020 bonus la

we are all asking whether PB got cut or not laar, last year no cut

Fake news.

How can you tell that it is fake?

i agree is fake news also.
not because whether there is cut or no cut. it is because NO ONE will know except the super top people.
unless the poster alone is D level and he / she report to C lvl, PS or Min

I thought civil servant work so hard, entitled to bonus but got so much free time to post in forum during office hours.

How ironic.

You do consider that some of the posters might be on leave?
Some of us have a lot of annual leave accumulated, so it stands to reason that we can be on leave while posting here.

Because no one knows at this juncture, including HODs

One thing I noticed about CS is the number of abbreviations used all around. How to keep up and remember all those...

Hi all,

Sry to ride on this post. Just need some advice since there's so many CS around :). I've been in the Pte sector (legal) for the past 15 yrs. Aged 40yo (F) now. If I jumped into govt sector now, will it be worth it? I mean are there still chances of getting promoted, pay increase and so forth. Wanna think long and hard before I make the move. Not even sure if they can match my current pay now. Don't have benefits (no bonuses) for now that's why considering jumping ship. Upside is my boss is very nice lah. Fyi, my highest qualification is a private diploma from MDIS (since I know govt sector rely strongly on our certificates obtained here). TIA.

If you are not in a rush to leave current job, I would suggest getting some certifications.
Not hard to get and doesn't require the length of a master program.

This can increase your competitiveness.

That said, if there is a one year master program available and you have the fund for it, try to get one that is aligned with your target gov job.

These will put you in a strong position to get hired, negotiating salary, etc

Got an email from Director

MX11 C+, 2.3 months

Is this reduced from last year? Not sure as I was MX12 last year

Think the usual for mx11 C+ is 2.5 mths. So yea, does seem like a cut if your 2.3 is what you claim it is

Any idea of MI range for mx11 C+

250 - 350 depends on cep

My grade is a C, usually for my ministry it is usually 1.25. This year it is 1.19. So there is a cut. My wife as well, she checked her old PB records, it was 1.25 for C grade, it has been reduced.

Directors do not tell u the quantum of PB. Pac@Gov does. U are upping the level of fake news. Lol

just wait for SAT and then check pac@gov. it's not like you will receive your PB earlier.

don't think we should spend money we have not gotten too.

They do inform you the grade and quantum, at least for mine. His news is definitely not fake.

Any idea of MI range for mx13 B..

Hi there, thanks for your reply. Masters abit too far for me tho with kids :). Don't mind getting short term courses to enhance my skill set. Just that I believe the govt will look into our local certs more rather than your experience. Is that true? Coz I saw abt those mid career switch. I worked my way up in the pte sector. So if switching to govt sector brings down my salary again not sure if its wise to do so. May have to start all over again instead of them matching my salary (but I don't mind slightly lower) and 15 yrs of experience.

fifty dollar
