Civil servants to receive year-end bonuses of at least $1,800

Around 1,490 lower wage civil servants will benefit from the minimum one-month bonus.

Singapore's Public Service Division (PSD) announced that civil servants will receive a year-end Annual Variable Component (AVC) of at least $1,800.

Around 1,490 lower wage civil servants will benefit from the minimum one-month bonus.

Together with the mid-year AVC of 0.5 month in July 2017, civil servants will receive a full-year AVC of 1.5 months in 2017.

"The AVC payment is in line with the more optimistic economic outlook for 2017 compared with 2016. The payment (including the minimum payment) was decided in consultation with the public sector unions," PSD said.

All civil servants will also get the Non-Pensionable Annual Allowance (NPAA) of 1 month, to be paid in December together with the AVC.
