does anyone know for civil service, does your new employer actually contact your current supervisor for employment checks or just your current hr dept?

Depends on agencies. But if they do check, they will check with your current supervisor instead of HR dept.

Hi,
A brief background of my work experience:
Entered a stat board as a diploma holder (div 2) in 2007, starting pay $1785
Got promoted to Div 1 in 2012 and currently drawing close to $4k.
Didn't upgrade myself to get a degree along the way. I am still a diploma holder.
Getting bored with the job scope (tax related), am planning to apply for a position in other stat board/ministry.
Question: How severe will the payout be should i make a switch? Is there a a chance (no matter how remote it is) for me to even get a higher pay if I make a switch?
Anyone with similar working experience care to share your thoughts?

You're actually the first person I know that has no degree, yet promoted to Div 1. My personal opinion is that you will not get the same salary you're getting currently if you switch to another agency doing a different work. If the work scope is the same, then there might still be room for negotiation.
This is based on my understanding of public sector, that they still value degree more than anything.

My current workplace actually follows only have one scheme for all qualifications. It's just that the degree holders will come in at a higher level as compared to non- degree holders. If you are good enough, you will get promoted to the next level. Hence, it's not surprising to hear a dip holder promoted to div 1 in my workplace. Thanks for your opinion : )

agreed, i think qualifications is just a criteria to determine your entry level. at the end of the day, if you can perform then nothing can hold you back.
fresh grad, pass degree from local uni drawing $3.5k.

doesn't this spoil your relationship with your supervisor if you eventually didn't take up their offer? anyone can shed some light on this?
