PUTRAJAYA: Civil servants may receive up to a 42.7% pay hike under the revised Public Service Remuneration System (SSPA), says Fahmi Fadzil.
"As previously mentioned, the guidelines related to the salary increase among the civil servants are expected to be distributed soon," said the Communications Minister.
"Starting next week, we will have a better general outlook of the salary increase, which is expected to be between 15% to 42.7%," he added.
Fahmi said lower-grade civil servants will receive the highest increments
"Those at the chief secretary and director-general level, the increase will be more moderate," he said at a press conference after the post-Cabinet meeting here, on Wednesday (Aug 7).
On Tuesday (Aug 6), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said several preliminary details of the updated SSPA would be announced soon and a full announcement would be made when Budget 2025 is tabled in October 2024.
On Aug 5, Public Service Department deputy director-general (operations) Datuk Mohd Shaiful Ibrahim said civil servants would be able to calculate their expected salary increase in a week.
He added that the details would be announced at the 19th Majlis Amanat Perdana Perkhidmatan Awam (Mappa) event on Aug 16.
