Civil service employees who have transitioned to the state pay framework will now receive salary increments from the date they become entitled to them, following an amendment to the relevant regulation.
In a statement issued today, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced the first amendment to the procedure governing salary increments for civil servants who have moved to the new state pay framework. The amendment applies to Article 4 of the regulation.
Key Change
Under the amended rule:
Salary increments will be granted from the date an employee becomes entitled to the increase, once all required conditions have been met and the request has been submitted to the Commission with the approval of the Ministry of Finance.
Previously, salary increases were applied from the date the Ministry of Finance approved the request, even if the employee had already fulfilled the eligibility requirements.
The amendment removes this delay, ensuring that employees receive their increments from the date they are entitled to them.
The salaries of all civil servants, council administrative staff, and more than 20,000 employees, including members of the judiciary, were increased in November last year following the implementation of the new pay framework.
