SINGAPORE - Recently revised social service sector salary ranges provide more flexibility to hire employees at various competency levels, and to plan for their progression according to experience and performance, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Social and Family Development Eric Chua on Monday.
It had been announced in March that sector salaries would go up by between 4 per cent and 15 per cent from April 1. The salary guidelines were last reviewed by the Ministry for Social and Family Development and National Council of Social Service in 2018.that the recommended starting pay for senior care staff had fallen, as had the reference point for care staff.
Consequently, some job roles were merged or right-sized. This includes mapping the senior care staff role to social service assistant job grades, while reclassifying social work associates more appropriately to the social work associate and senior social work associate roles, he added. “Current staff should not have their salaries reduced as a result of the changes to the job roles,” he stressed. “SSAs should continue to pay staff competitively, including paying above the guidelines if they are able to do so, in order to attract and retain quality manpower.”
