What is your approx salary now? The GEO3 range is quite wide. The bump when you get promoted could be around 500+ (including both components: MI for that year + promotion increment).

What is expected increment for a GEO4 C grader?

Where can we check our performance grade for last year? Or can only ask our RO?

You will see it in your performance-related payment letter that will be issued in mid-March. It will also notify you of your performance bonus quantum and amount.

The system is really in need of review and revamp.
I know of so many fellow colleagues and friends who are really good with students and have a heart, and resigned from service, just like that.
Real pity.
I don’t know what the heck is going on in MOE, really.
They gotta wake up really.

You didn't get the memo? Passion and drive now puts food on the table! Also, we are so much better paid than American teachers! So ungrateful!

Rounds of applause, and thank you emails from political office holders also put food on the table. Don't forget that.

Hi seniors out there, want to ask if anyone knows more about contract adjunct role.

- how is the pay like?
- bonuses etc.?

Currently a geo 3 but likely going to 4 soon. 5 years in service. Been getting decent for PBs (Bs), heavily involved in non IP stuff (student leadership, student management etc.)

Been spending too much time and energy chasing progression which now I find lesser meaning. Want to also lessen a bit of workload so I can help my ageing parents with the family biz.

Still have the passion to teach but just not being another pawn in the system.. Contract adjunct will at least get a a stable amt every month while I slowly learn the ropes.

Any Info or advice will be greatly appreciated!

Is the pay diff very big? I heard from others that they pay you based on your last drawn and then pro rate.
