The Civil Service Commission has revised its policy on granting salary increments to civil servants under the state pay framework, changing how the effective date of increments is determined.

Under the updated policy, civil servants will receive a salary increment once they have completed all required criteria for promotion and have requested approval from the Ministry of Finance. This marks a change from the previous policy, which provided increments after the criteria were met and approval was granted.

The revised policy also outlines the evaluation process for salary increments and clarifies how the time spent in a position will be calculated when determining eligibility.
