Civil Service Performance Bonus

PB bonuses were ringfenced from last year's budget.

Anybody knows whether there will be any increment next month?

PB has already been determined end of last year. Stop being such a sour grape

Think would have but the question is how much.

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.

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.

PSD had delinked merit increment and CEP some years ago. Your PB is based on the grade you got for the year of performance assessment. PB has never been linked to 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.

Confirm not true. I got two As before being promoted. My colleagues who received Bs year after year stagnant for some time. A or not is within the school and not in the cluster.

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

You could have performed better this time round and that explains the higher quantum.
If you have been the top C+ or bottom C- last year and this, you might then notice a drop in the quantum.
