SINGAPORE: The Public Service Division (PSD) on Sunday (Jun 5) announced it will adjust the salaries of officers in the Civil Service generic schemes and their related schemes with effect from Aug 1 this year.
"These adjustments will enable the Civil Service to continue to attract and retain its fair share of talent," said PSD.
About 23,000 officers across the generic schemes and their related schemes will benefit from the salary adjustments.
Officers in the Management Executive Scheme (MXS), Management Support Scheme (MSS) and Corporate Support Scheme (CSS) will receive salary adjustments of between 5 per cent and 10 per cent, said PSD, with higher adjustments for grades that have larger gaps with market benchmark.
Those in the Operations Support Scheme (OSS) will receive higher adjustments of between 6 per cent and 14 per cent.
"This is in line with the call by the Tripartite Workgroup on Lower-Wage Workers to uplift the salaries of lower-wage workers," said PSD.
Explaining the adjustment, PSD said the civil service periodically reviews salaries and adjusts them "when necessary to broadly keep pace with, but not lead, the market".
Revisions to the Civil Service generic schemes were last made in 2014, and since then, salary levels in the market have gone up, said PSD.
"The pandemic has underscored the importance of a strong Public Service. The Public Service is committed to attracting, developing and retaining a future-ready workforce that can continue to deliver its best for Singapore and Singaporeans," PSD said.
