Compare civil service salary

this MX11 thing is rubbish as others have mentioned.

And it's flat 5%, not even 6% or 6.5%. They just choose not to pay MX11 extra because most mid-careers join at MX11

I highly doubt so. You get revised pay now as MX11, doesnt matter if you are promoted to MX11a in 1,2,3 or however many years.

Dont think you get that additional bump. Just the increment + promotion pay which someone has advised to be $400+ above

means you effectively lose more over the long run

What to do? Fresh grads with 1-2 years experience are usually highly valued and their revised salary is easily equal to old hires with >5 years experience. In civil service, the starting pay really matters given the slow increments thereafter

Any pay rise since 2021?

We are essentially the sandwich class, those in it will understand. So how was it that when pegged to the market, MX 11s are much closer to the market rate than junior execs and senior execs? I am entirely happy for my colleagues in 12 and 11A, we went through thick’s and thins together and they fully deserve the higher quantum, but I don knew how the review sidelined 11.

I don’t think this is the way the grades are seen. MX13, 12 and 11 are viewed as staff (or “executives” as u mentioned) with varying levels of seniority. MX11A and 10 have supervisory roles. The recent adjustments look like they want to create stronger distinctions between these groups - i.e. narrowing the diff between 12/11 and pulling 11A/10 further up

As a fellow MX11, I’m also quite upset that we’re given the short end of the stick. Looking for ways to move out of the scheme or service if necessary.

Fully agree. In fact with how many older generation stuck at MX11A and basically treating the job as a retirement job, it's not rare at all that many lower grades do more work than MX11A cause the bosses can't manage them well.

I'm thinking if this difference is a result of mx11a being carved out from MX11 several years back... Such that actually mx11 and mx11a are actually compared to the same market rate, but because of this artifical separation into 11 and 11a, the market rate is also artificially cut off at some point.

Hate that we all know there is no way for us to really get an explanation on this issue though. Plus quite obviously other grades are happy and watching show.

I'm very puzzled by the sentiments here. Be it 5, 8 or 10 percent, the people here effectively got 2 pay bumps this year - merit increment in April and this pay revision. But not many seem grateful for that. The increment is benchmarked against the private sector, and so it is definitely possible the gaps for some grades are wider, and some are narrower - not some personal agenda against any specific groups.

Yes some gaps are wider some narrower. But it’s puzzling how the gap is much smaller at 11 right in the middle of 12 and 11a. Let’s put it simpler. 12 11 11a - 3, 7, 11 years of experience respectively. The review suggests the gaps goes from big (9%) to small (5%) to big (5%). Think about it, not impossible, but does it make sense?

I am thankful for the revision, but that doesn’t mean I cannot think critically about it. And to put things into perspective, since covid, increment reduced, 1 year increase 100+ only. With 3-4% less increment means about 2 years of MI. Not to mention to mention inflation.
