Most of Singapore’s 85,000 civil servants will get a year-end bonus that is the lowest in 10 years, amid the weak performance of the Singapore economy and its uncertain outlook.
They will receive 0.1 month plus an additional one-off lump-sum payment of $250 to $1,500.
Civil servants in the lower pay grades, however, will get higher lump-sum payouts – an ongoing government practice to support junior grade officers. The move will see about 2,200 officers in Grades III to V of the Operations Support Scheme getting the top lump sum of $1,500.
Senior civil servants in superscale grades, numbering around 1,700, will be given a one-off payment of $400, without the 0.1 month annual variable component (AVC).
The lower bonus was announced by the Public Service Division (PSD) yesterday.
It said: “Taking into account the prevailing economic uncertainties, the PSD, in consultation with and with the support of the public sector unions, will exercise restraint for the year-end bonus payment.”
