SINGAPORE - Civil servants will be paid a mid-year Annual Variable Component (AVC) of 0.3 month, against a backdrop of modest economic growth and global economic uncertainty, the government announced on Tuesday.
It has also considered the National Wages Council's (NWC) recommendation to grant a built-in wage increase of at least S$50 to low-wage workers earning up to S$1,000 per month, and decided to go beyond these recommendations for civil servants in Divisions IV and III.
Division IV officers, including those earning more than S$1,000 a month, will get an additional increment of S$60 per month. This is in addition to their normal annual increments. Division IV civil servants who have reached the maximum of their salary scales will get the same wage increase of S$60 per month. This will benefit around 3,600 civil servants.
Division III officers, all of whom earn more than S$1,000 per month, will get an additional increment of S$30 per month. This is in addition to their normal annual increments. Division III civil servants who have reached the maximum of their salary scales will get the same wage increase of S$30 per month. This will benefit around 5,900 civil servants.
The Civil Service's NWC adjustments for all Division IV and III civil servants respectively will benefit more than 9,500 civil servants.
The mid-year AVC and the built-in wage increase for Division VI and III civil servants will be paid in July.
The government will decide on the year-end AVC payment for civil servants after taking into consideration Singapore's economic performance in the second half of 2012.
