MX scheme

The education scheme is under the GEO scale, from the website, got the CONNECT Plan Payouts, like once every 3-5 years, teacher are allow to get some $$ from this plan...


The DXO also got kind of plan similar to CONNECT Plan, as stated in the website few years back, now they remove the info already.>>Can someone really confirm this?

Just curious do the MX scheme also have similar plan, that allow employee to draw out lump sum $$ once every 3-5 years??

Thank

No such thing for MX scheme.

As someone pointed out earlier, to get from MX10 to MX9 is a challenge because you are essentially placed on superscale. Most ppl once on superscale are unlikely to leave service and thus the bosses want to make sure that the MX9-ers are of a certain quality. As of now, i wouldnt leave service if i am superscale unless i have really really really compelling reasons.

But as I earn more, i learn more about myself and human being. I used to think that i would be happy with 5k monthly gross. But now, i find myself wanting more. It's unhealthy and I try to curb such desire for more. Now my target is to hit above 100k per annum. Now just hit above 90k.

any1 has the new salary range for MX after the salary adjustment?

I also curious to know. Is the starting pay of all fresh grad @ MX13 from "pass" to "good honors" degree also adjusted upward? Ie by 10% more?? Because in Feb 2012 most people from MX12/11 is getting upward by 10% more!!

Data from salarysingapore website:

For year 2011

Job grade: MX13
Job title: Management Executive
Pay scale: up to S$2,800 for fresh graduates

Those with NS will get approx addition $300 - $500 more

Nope.. the salary revision in Feb was a one-off increment for the lower income civil servants who were drawing a pathetic low salary for too long a time.... Most fresh grad starting salary remains unchanged for most ministry and stat boards.....
HR doesn't need to offer a fresh grad a higher than the usual market rate before he even starts to contribute to the oragnisation.... No need to disappoint yourself wth your wisful thinking...

I do agree one-off increment for the lower income civil servants is needed, but is only limited to the MSO(those poly grads) personnel. That's why they are given +15% increment.

But those MX12/11/10 are already getting high salary even before the Feb salary adjustment!!

Got 1 guy posted last Oct2011 in other thread in salary.sg forum, that time(approx 6 months ago) he already earning $4800+ in a ministry with slightly more than 4 years of exp @ MX11 which he got promoted in apr2010, with 2nd upper. He was from the 2007 NUS batch.

And just few days ago, I think he, the same person posted his salary again in other salary.sg forum thread, now after the Feb adjustment + Apr2012 merit increment, he is getting $5700+(annual salary slightly more than 90K) with just 3 more months to hit 5 years exp with the ministry since fresh grad. The point is he is just a normal farmer, non-scholar.

You can ask anyone on the street, how many engineer can actually get this kind salary for 5 years of exp in the same company. (excluding oil/gas industry, excluding financial/banking sector and commission base job).

how is it possible that someone who started work in 2007 has a starting pay that is even more than my current pay when i started working in 2003

I suppose all these info are from the same person.

6 months ago in Oct2011, he stated that his salary is already $4800+ at MX11.

by Feb2012 salary +10% salary increment = $4800 x 1.1 = $5280+

by Apr2012 salary, since he promoted quite fast to MX11, I assume he is 'B' performer, base on other info for the merit increment for MX11 @ B grade, it is another +8.8% merit increment

==>Final salary in Apr2012= $5280 x 1.088 = $5744 (is a very good guage of the 5.7k salary he stated)
