The Public Service Division (PSD) announced on Wednesday that civil servants will each get a $500 one-off payment to mark Singapore's 50th birthday this year
This special payment is on top of their mid-year bonus this year, which will amount to 0.5 month's pay.
Lower-wage Division IV civil servants will also get a wage increase of $30 a month, over and above their annual increment this year.
These payments were decided on after "close consultations" with public sector unions.
