Awareness on Performance Based Pay System begins

An awareness session has begun with ministries and deparments in relation to assessment criteria and processes for the Performance Based Pay System.

Acting permanent secretary Iliesa Lutu said the target group for this awareness program includes administration officers who are expected to disseminate the same information within their Ministries and Departments.

Ministries and Departments will be expected to assess performance of their respective staff for 12 months ending 31 December 2012 using the Annual Performance Assessment and will need to forward their forms to PSC by March 31st this year.

Lutu said pending from forms received, PSC will then be able to estimate the cost of the payout to civil servants next year.
