SINGAPORE: Civil servants in Singapore will receive a 0.4-month mid-year bonus, with junior-grade officers getting an additional one-time payment of up to S$400 (US$312), the Public Service Division (PSD) said on Monday (Jun 16).
Civil servants in grades equivalent to MX13(I) and MX14 will receive an additional one-time payment of S$250, while those in grades equivalent to MX15 and MX16, and those in the Operations Support Scheme will receive a higher one-time payment of S$400.
PSD said the mid-year payment takes into consideration Singapore's economic performance in the first quarter of 2025, and the subdued economic outlook for this year.
"Given the forecast of weaker gross domestic product growth and the downside economic risks, the public sector unions and the government will jointly monitor the economic performance for the rest of the year, and will calibrate the year-end payments accordingly," it said.
"The government and the unions will continue to jointly monitor the economic situation closely, and take into consideration the National Wages Council guidelines which will be released later in the year in deciding the year-end AVC payments," said PSD.
Last year, civil servants received a mid-year bonus of 0.45 months and a year-end bonus of 1.05 months.
The mid-year civil servant bonus for 2023 was 0.3 months.
