Good news for civil servants!
-
Civil servants, rejoice!
A pay rise is expected next year when the private sector's average pay rise is about 3.3%.
Minister's pay is also expected to raise as well.
Now we know where the GST hike's money is going..... -
pay rise?
the only time i get a pay rise is during promotion. -
I have never get a pay rise since 1998.
-
well, hey... they're working hacks and work as hard as everyone else
and also, face the abuse of the general citizenry too

Those ministers should peg their salaries to the lower 15 to 20 percentile of income earners. Maybe 20 to 30 times the "median" of the average salary of the lowest 15% of income earners.
say for PM:
30 X $1500 X 12mths = $540,000
This way, there will be less poor people, because they have to make the poor richer in order that they become richer.
Hehehe -
and you think they will go for that?
hey, let's just peg it with the ministers in the other countries of the world.. i'd love to see thatOriginally posted by maurizio13:Those ministers should peg their salaries to the lower 15 to 20 percentile of income earners.

Is it a one off payrise? Coz yearly increment is based on appraisal.

I tend to think civil service sector is paying better than the private. Those in the teaching profession start at 2.7K+ (ladies) and 3.0K+ (for men) depending on their honours degree.
Other Mindef and ST branches are offering similar packages which are sometimes far more attractive than the private sector.
So i don't really know who gets the idea that private sector companies pay better than the govt sector. -
that's the higher end..
the normal ones like the clerk and all that, not really...
the starting pay is high, but after that, not much happens.. teachers are mostly there..
but there are many many more jobs other than teachers.. there are those who have to work shifts, those who are doing mundane and repetitive jobs every day..Originally posted by BillyBong:I tend to think civil service sector is paying better than the private.

it's time to change job for those in the private sectors?
-
But then, there was a record number of resignations from the civil sector, so come to think of it, your loss is my gain.

Ms Annie Yap, managing director of recruitment agency GMP Group, said that overall, private sector wages are now 10 to 15 per cent higher than those in the civil service, which traditionally lags behind by between 3 and 5 per cent.

actually, there is a crapload of $$ left over when the ministries went on their misadventure for the past years trying to decrease headcount.. encouraging a lot of people to resign...
now they are stuck with insufficient manpower for a lot of places, the ministries are probably desperate and heck! civil servants are human too -
Or it could be simply another big smokescreen by the PAP to raise ministers' and mps' salaries, after they realised that with the current sentiment on the ground, they will get even more abuse if they didn't apply it to the whole civil service.

They were hoping that the dead wood will resign but instead, it's the young, ambitious chaps with marketable skills that moved to the private sector where the pay is better. The old dead wood remained...they know they cannot find another job elsewhere and it is almost impossible to sack them in the civil service as long as they do not steal or commit a crime.Originally posted by the Bear:actually, there is a crapload of $$ left over when the ministries went on their misadventure for the past years trying to decrease headcount.. encouraging a lot of people to resign...

Unfortunately, you are absolutely right. And the very presence of the deadwood demoralises those around them, which also contributes to people leaving the service. One guy told me "I'd rather go somewhere where you can actually be fired for incompetance and poor attitude than to continue putting up with this bullshit"Originally posted by oxford mushroom:They were hoping that the dead wood will resign but instead, it's the young, ambitious chaps with marketable skills that moved to the private sector where the pay is better.

sadly, a lot of the true deadwood are the idiots up on top
