Around 22,000 civil servants to get salary increases of 2% to 9% from Aug 1

This is the first salary revision to the civil service schemes in four years. 

In 2022, about 23,000 officers across various schemes received salary adjustments of between 5 per cent and 14 per cent.

“Since then, salary levels in the market have increased,” said PSD. “The public service periodically reviews salaries and adjusts them when necessary to broadly keep pace with, but not lead, the market.”

Eligible officers on the Management Executive Scheme (MXS) will receive salary adjustments of 2 per cent to 9 per cent, with higher adjustments for grades that have larger gaps with market benchmarks. 

“There will be no adjustments for MXS officers whose salaries are already competitive,” said PSD.

For the Technical Support Scheme, eligible officers will receive salary adjustments of 4 per cent to 9 per cent.

Eligible officers on the Management Support Scheme and Corporate Support Scheme will receive salary increases of 4 per cent to 5 per cent.

Eligible officers on the Operations Support Scheme will receive salary adjustments of 4 to 8 per cent.
