23,000 public service officers getting 5-14% pay rise, Netizens share their thoughts on who should receive salary adjustments
The Public Service Division (PSD) announced on Sunday (June 5) that about 23,000 civil servants will receive between a 5 and 14 per cent increase in their salaries beginning August 1 this year. Civil servants in generic schemes and their related schemes are included in the salary adjustments, “enabling the Civil Service to continue to attract and retain its fair share of talent,” said PSD.
The last review of salaries for generic schemes was in 2014 when those in non-graduate schemes got a five per cent increase. Since then, salary levels in the market have gone up. “The Civil Service periodically reviews salaries and adjusts them when necessary to broadly keep pace with, but not lead, the market,” said PSD in a media release.
