Civil Service Merit Increment 2012

366 merit increment is quite high. Is there any chance that you may be stuck at the bar? Cos you would need two successive C+ (from next year onwards) to cross the bar.

Two MX 12s with same performance grade can get different merit increment because of their CEP. This is where you can know where you stand relative to your peers.

I got a promoted last year to MX 11. I got 366 MI as a 'C' grader for this year. Don't know my CEP. Maybe MX 10, maybe MX 9.

what would be the avg MI for MX11 C grader? 320?

The previous post just mentioned that it is 366 (based on a C grade). I know a B grade for MX 11 is around 450 to 470.

Well the efficiency bar is about 6.7K. The info is in PacGOV. Just work hard will do. A 'C' grade is sufficient to cross the bar. For those not aware, the bar is there to prevent deadwood civil servants (if any) from getting the higher salaries in the higher grades. Of course if they can't cross the bar, they can forget getting promoted too.
Grades MX 11 and above has this bar. The lower grades don't.

I don't know what is the average MX 11 increment. You got to be on that grade for sometime to work it out.

C grade (to cross the bar) is attainable. I probably got confused with the promotion criteria, which is two successive C+.

Age factor aside, $366 for C grade @ MX 11 means still got future as CEP still got growth.

Anything below that, might be time to change plans.

Haha, i am in early 30's. Any CEP growth would be limited i would say. If there are good pte sector opportunities without getting pay cut, i could consider moving.

Frankly speaking MX's are relatively well paid, when compared to the average graduate worker. Personally, my expectation are rather modest.

what do you think is your CEP? MX 9?

Defiintely at least MX 10. If fortunate, probably MX 9. I have heard ppl thinking they have high CEPs in the beginning, promoting fast, etc, but end up getting stuck when they reach the higher grades. Then they start become disillusioned, not realising that they are relatively well paid.

I won't put too much hope on CEP thing.
