But I read from the HR policy, saying that the last day of service is 31 April to keep the PB.

Tomorrow morning you will be able to check

I saw it is out on workpal, but the PBR statement on my workpal is blank.

do y'all who give tuition on top of public sch teaching declare tax on that

Well, it is being done at school level.

Last year I got C but only 1.1 for work done in 2021.
Started in a new school after successful open posting in 2022.
Glad to have left that toxic environment, C only gave me 1.1.
Super political place.

Your P probably doesn like u. He is the one who decided u get how much PB even your grade is C.

Hello! May I ask if I had taken maternity leave last year, will my PB be a default C, please? I took 4months without extension. Have not checked my HRP because of lagging network.

PB
 

PB’s out. B - 2.75 mnths

Yes, A can go up to 3.5. I got that last year. This year, same A grade but only 3 months. Not sure if it was my performance or the increase in total number of As and Bs given that resulted in a lower quantum.

Think it depends
I took maternity 4 months too and gotten a B

Are your grades before and after glitch the same?

A grade, GEO 5, 3 months pb

Does subgrade make a different in no of months of pb?

Yes, SEO and superscale PB quanta will differ from GEO scale.

Merit increment
 

Hi, how will PB grades affect merit increment? Will we only see the MI in april’s salary? Thanks!

GEO 3, A Grade, PB 3.0

The size of the MI that you get is determined mainly by three things.. your subgrade, your performance grade for that year (higher subgrade and higher perf grade, higher MI), and the distance between your current pay point to the pay ceiling of your subgrade (the smaller the distance, the smaller the MI).

There are other factors such as economic performance but those factors have a much smaller effect.

Yea same....

The point you're making (but also missing), is that in public forums like these, there will be survivor bias. The good performers are definitely the ones who like to compare more, to gauge their own performance.

But there are also those who are planning to throw letter etc after PB.

There are also those who did a lot, took a lot of arrows, but the PB didn't match their time and efforts.

I can be just a GEO4 who did school wide impactful projects, but only got a grade C with 1.5 quantum. I know perhaps any template reason can be used by KPs or SLs to justify, so there's probably no point comparing or wondering why too.

based on the above, does it mean, those getting their first MOE connect plan amount will receive $28,800?

Haha, no way. More like less than 10k. The remaining will continue to be kept in the CONNECT plan to build up for the next one

moe must be really lucky to have recruited someone who trusts their published numbers so easily...dig deep enough and u will realise that not all numbers match up, as revealed by some of the posts here

not only salary, but also headcount and work hours too

anyway dont forget to happily contribute cpf and pay taxes for that amount too

They can't pay you money that isn't already in your connect account.

Connect plan is like a savings account. Money is deposited every year, and withdrawal is made when you reach the milestone years.

The increase in connect plan deposits haven't take effect yet.

Only the fresh hires will get to enjoy the updated payouts, 4 years down the road.

For existing staff, the deposits in the past were lower, so payouts will be lower as well.

Is this so hard to understand?

Must be BT

Why all so salty over the connect figures? What’s there to lie on MOE’s side?

9000x4 = 36000 in first four years
80% of 36000 is 28800 (first payout), hence left 7200 inside.

Year 5-7 adds 27000 + 7200= 34200 at end of year 7.
So the amount given corresponds to 80% of the amount inside.

No?

Scroll down to Connect plan then look at Payout

Should be abt 15k but need to minus 20% for cpf

How about for the person who will get first payout at the end of 2023?
$ 18,960 in the kitty and for 2024, the contribution will be another $9,000; Total will be $27,960. So 80% of $27,960 will be $22, 368 - payout on 12/2023?

Pls read as for 2023, the contribution will be another $9,000

Connect plan is just to make you stay longer in teaching while your market value drops day by day outside teaching.

Go figure

Following text from Dollar & Sense also:

MOE has also indicated that the CONNECT Plan will be enhanced. Starting from 2023, there will be an overall enhancement of about 20%, and the annual deposit quantum and payout ratio will be raised to better support teachers in the earlier years of their careers.

Assuming a linear 20% increase, this will be an estimated payout of $18,240 at the first payout year (an increase of $3,040), $28,800 at the second payout year (an increase of $4,800), and so forth, for a total of $202,560 (an increase of $33,760). Given that the enhancement is intended to better support teachers in their early careers, it is possible that the CONNECT plan will be adjusted to have a higher payout in the first few payout years. This will only be confirmed in 2023 when the CONNECT plan is officially enhanced.

How?
 

How do u even get an A grade? What did you do last year? Are you a KP on GEO 5?

How?
 

What did u do to get an A???

Arrogant attitude of better performing teachers on this forum
 

My title says it all. Esp those criticizing against GEO5 who dont do enough by ppl hell bent on climbing. As if its possible for ALL teachers to climb. This ranking **** is a zero sum game and inadvertently demoralizes the average performer who is doing the real job of educating ppl.
KPs get off loaded from normal classes etc. mark less etc. aren't the normal teachers the one who gets the real work done? See what happens if all teachers become ambitious and start doing all the school planning work, and dont give enugh time and attention to individual kids. See what parents will say.
For now i hope that parents of kids being taught by these ambitious teachers complain against them

Yup, will increase by about 20%. Remember to set up SRS to make contributions to reduce amount of tax for that year. Otherwise your income might overflow to the next tax bracket

Anyone promoted to SEO 1 in April this year?

Promotion list out already? I think most Ps will only inform after the holidays.

How much merit increment for B grader?

Praying hard I am called and tell me I’m promoted

Lol. If never promote this year, will quit?

Would like to know also, GEO3 here.
