These adjustments, which will range between 2% to 9%, come as part of efforts to continue attracting and retaining talent to the Public Service while keeping pace with market standards, the Public Service Division said.
About 22,000 eligible public service officers in Singapore are set to benefit from pay adjustments this year, effective 1 August 2026.
In a media release on Friday (20 February 2026), the Public Service Division said this will apply to officers on the Management Executive Scheme (MXS), Technical Support Scheme (TSS), Management Support Scheme (MSS), Corporate Support Scheme (CSS), and Operations Support Scheme (OSS), and their related schemes.
"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," it stated.
Officers in the above schemes perform a range of roles, such as policy and planning, administration, and operations.
PSD added that it periodically reviews salaries and "adjusts them when necessary to broadly keep pace with, but not lead, the market."
Details on the upcoming adjustments
The adjustments for specific groups will be as follows:
- Eligible officers on the MXS: 2% to 9%, with higher adjustments for grades that have larger gaps with market benchmarks. There will be no adjustments for officers whose salaries are already competitive.
- Eligible officers on the TSS: 4% to 9%.
- Eligible officers on the MSS and CSS: 4% to 5%.
- Eligible officers on the OSS: 4% to 8%.
The above changes, PSD said, follow close consultation with the Amalgamated Union of Public Employees.
