Junior officers in grades equivalent to MX15 and MX16, as well as those in the Operations Support Scheme, will also receive an additional one-time payment of $600.

Together with the mid-year bonus of 0.45 month, civil servants will receive a total of 1.5 months of bonus in 2024, up from 0.9 month in 2023.

Junior grade officers received up to $250 in additional payment in June, so in total, they will receive up to $850 in 2024.

PSD said the Government will continue to adopt a "progressive approach" in determining the bonus payment, in line with the National Wages Council's recommendation to uplift lower-wage workers' salaries.
