All civil servants to receive $500 bonus in July

In celebration of SG50.

All civil servants will get a one-off bonus of $500 in July, the Public Service Divison revealed today.

The bonus will be given in honor of SG50 and in recognition of their contribution towards nation-building.

The PSD also said that each civil servant will get a mid-year Annual Variable Component (AVC) worth half a month's salary. All Division IV civil servants will also get a $30 wage increment.

Here's more:

The Government will give a built-in wage increase of $30 in the monthly salaries of all Division IV civil servants.

This will be in addition to their annual increment in 2015, and signals the Government’s continued commitment to help raise the salaries of low-wage civil servants.

Around 2,500 Division IV civil servants will benefit from the wage increase. A worked example of the wage increase can be found in the attached factsheet.

The mid-year AVC, special one-off SG50 payment, and built-in wage increase for Division IV civil servants will be paid in July 2015.

The mid-year payments were decided in close consultation with the public sector unions. 

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 2015.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
