Civil Service Pay - Director level

[k3vin]

AD is entry at MTI, as a fresh grad u start at AD.

But of course you are also one of the lowest life forms there

How is that? In my stat board fresh graduates join as 'manager's, even with no working experience.

IE singapore?

I have a friend who is a DD in a stat board, on one of the professional tracks (law/econs) about 16 yrs or work experience, he has reached the end of his pay grade, earns about $10,400.00 a month gross. but be'cos of the professional track, his overall gross salary is about $230,000. he was a mid career hire. best move he ever made according to him. his life was stressful outside the civil service. now he has money and time. the trade off is bureaucracy, and a micro manager for a boss, but according to him he'll live.

AD means different thing to different ministries due to work requirement - for ministries such as MFA and MTI, they have to frequently face their overseas counterparts so must have higher-sounding titles, not so much to fast track them. tehre are ADs from those ministries who move to other ministries and had to make do with much lower titles.

for grades, the salary is like this:

mx 12: 2550 - 5130 (AM, Mgr)
mx 11: 4100 - 7190 (Mgr or AD)
mx 10: 6350 - 10400 (AD, DD)
mx 9 (superscale): 10580 - 16540 (DD, Dir)

the above excludes the usual bonus and variable components, which would usually add up to a total pay of around 15 to 16 months of the monthly salary...

His profile, with NS, currently age 32 in 2011, TOP o level student with 11 A1 in his cohort, should be 2nd upper/1st class, so how much is an Asst Director in MOE is getting of the profile above

Just remember, in the Civil Service things are upside down.

Directors are the slaves.

The bosses are the Secretaries.

Can anyone please tell me what does Max point refer to for Stat Board? Does it refer to monthly gross salary or just the monthly basic?

Any has a rough idea how end of year bonuses will be affected in view of the economic climate ??

i know my mid yr bonus was abt 100-200 less than last yr's

eg. last year's end of year bonus was abt 2 months (13th mth + 1 mth for excellent GDP growth). this excludes PB bonuses of course. wonder how much lower it'll be for 2011 ???

anyone knows how much ie singapore is paying and whats the career prospects there?

is it the same as mti?
