15% pay cut from private sector to teach in Polytechnic

A Director in the poly is most likely in PAX2. Assuming their salary is $15000 pm, annual package 20mths. That would be about $300k pa.

perks like mont blanc pens? Free screwing too.

$15k mthly is on the low side maybe only for newly promoted Director, the others are around $18-20k monthly taking the total package >$350k

Sounds about right.

The max for Pax 2 (Director Level) is S$16,900.

18 months x 16.9k is more than 300k.

Sounds right.

Looking at the Poly scale and Civil service -- "ee moh ee yan"

A bit more difference in the lower grades

Grade Min ($) Bar / Max ($)
PAX 1 14,080 18,770 / 21,120
PAX 2 10,520 14,500/ 16,490
PAX 3 6,620 9,140/ 10,400
PAX 4A/ 4E 4,580 7,030/ 8,250
PAX 5A/ 5E 3,470 5,320/ 6,240
PAX 6A/ 6E 2,150 4,160/ 5,160

Pay scale: S$10,580 – S$14,550 / S$14,551 – S$16,540

Job grade: MX10
Job title: Assistant Director, Deputy Director
Pay scale: S$6,350 – S$9,050 / S$9,051 – S$10,400

Job grade: MX11
Job title: Manager, Assistant Director
Pay scale: S$4,100 – S$6,160 / S$6,161 – S$7,190

I supposed the Polys being stats boards will pay more? Let's take the top end DD's pay of $14,550 and with 6 months bonus = 19 x $14,550 = $276,450 pa.

Don't play play.

Shouldn't newly promoted directors be getting about $11k, at the start of PA2 scale?
