Eligible civil servants to receive salary adjustments of 2% to 9%

The adjustments are part of a periodic review to ensure the Public Service keeps pace with market standards, and stays competitive in attracting and retaining talent to deliver well for Singaporeans

1            The Public Service Division (PSD) will be adjusting salaries for around 22,000 eligible officers on the Management Executive Scheme, Technical Support Scheme, Management Support Scheme, Corporate Support Scheme, and Operations Support Scheme, and their related schemes, with effect from 1 August 2026. The adjustments are to keep pace with market standards and enable the Public Service to continue to attract and retain talent to deliver well for Singaporeans, amidst evolving demands and the growing complexity of the global environment. Officers in the above schemes perform a range of roles, such as policy and planning, administration and operations.

2            The Public Service periodically reviews salaries and adjusts them when necessary to broadly keep pace with, but not lead, the market. PSD last made salary revisions to these Civil Service schemes in 2022. Since then, salary levels in the market have increased.

3            Eligible officers on the Management Executive Scheme (MXS) will receive salary adjustments of 2% to 9%, 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.

4            Eligible officers on the Technical Support Scheme (TSS) will receive salary adjustments of 4% to 9%. Eligible officers on the Management Support Scheme (MSS) and Corporate Support Scheme (CSS) will receive salary adjustments of 4% to 5%. Eligible officers on the Operations Support Scheme (OSS) will receive salary adjustments of 4% to 8%. These changes follow from close consultation with the Amalgamated Union of Public Employees (AUPE).

5            The Public Service will also continue to strengthen reward for performance and step up efforts to provide officers with meaningful career and growth opportunities. The Public Service is committed to attracting, developing and retaining a future-ready workforce that can continue to deliver its best for Singapore and Singaporeans.
