Assimilation to the revised Salary Scales
7.
The salary of an officer shall be assimilated to the revised salary scales for the period
January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 on a point-to-point basis. This means that the
salary of an officer at any incremental point in the salary scales outlined in the Minister
of Finance and the Economy Circular No. 1 of 2013 dated February 14, 2013, herein
called the 'adjusted 2011 salary scales', shall be converted to the corresponding
incremental point in the revised 2011 salary scales. For the purpose of determining the
revised salary at which an officer is to be paid with effect from January 1, 2011, it is
necessary to identify the incremental point in the adjusted 2011 salary scales at which
the officer was/would have been paid at that date. The officer's salary shall then be
converted to the corresponding incremental point in the revised 2011 salary scales.
Incremental movements thereafter shall follow existing policies governing the award of
increments.
Example
Mr. 'A1 is a Clerk I in receipt of a salary of $4,565 per month at point C in salary
range 14 in the adjusted 2011 salary scale. The officer's incremental date is
January 15. With effect from January 1, 2011, the salary of Mr. 'A' should be
converted to incremental point C in salary range 14 i.e. $4,898 per month in the
3
(
revised salary scale for the year 2011.
subject the award of an increment
increment, as a result of which his
incremental point i.e. point D, $5,013
2011 as shown below:

repeated for the years 2012 and 2013.
8.

reassigned to higher salary ranges and also the method of determining the incremental
date of officers whose offices have been re-assigned to higher salary ranges are those
set out in Minister of Finance Circulars No. 10 of 1968 dated June 24, 1968 and No. 8 of
1971 dated July 14, 1971 and Personnel Department Circular No. 11 of 1971 dated

Subject:
RECLASSIF1CATION
OF POSTS RESULTING IN UPGRADING OF RANGES
...
,
'•
It has been brought to my attention that as a result of certain features in the
Compensation Plan, some officers whose positions are reclassified and/or assigned to higher
ranges, suffer a loss of salary on conversion to the higher ranges.
2.
In order to rectify this anomaly the following method of conversion should be
adopted:
Where an officer is appointed or promoted to a position and the class to which the
position belongs is reclassified and/or assigned to a higher range with retroactive
effect and from a dated prior to the officer's appointment or promotion to the
position, the officer's salary may be adjusted from the date of his appointment or
promotion in either of the two undermentioned methods, whichever is the more
advantageous to him:-
(a)
by adjusting the office's salary (immediately prior to promotion) to a
point in the range in which the class or position has been reclassified or
assigned as though the original Classification did not exist;
(b)
by adjusting the officer's current salary (at the time of reclassification) to
a point in the new range in the following manner:
(i)
where the salary he is drawing coincides with a point in the new
range, he shall continue tc draw that salary;
(ii) where the salary he is drawing does not coincide with a point in
the new range, 'he shall move· to the next higher point in that
range.

.
Il. Saine positions· have been reassigned to higher salary rang~. The salaries of officers holding
such positions are not to be. adjusted lo the higher salary scales on a point-to-point basis as described
above.' Instead, they should first be adjusted to the lower salary scale on the point-to-point system and
then be adjusted to the higher salary scale in the following rnanner.(i)
where the salary to which the officer converted in the lower salary scale coincides
with the salary at any point in the higher salary scale. the .officer shall retain thac
salary in the higher salary scale;
·
(ii)
where the salary to which the officer converted in the lower salary scale does not ·
coincide with the salary. at any ·point in the higher salary scale, the salary .shall be
adjm;ted to the point in the higher salary scale immediately above the salary to which
the officer converted in the lower salary scale.
Example:
A Cleaner II, whose post has ~:reassigned from salary range 6 to salary range
1Q1 was in receipt of a salary of $165 per month in the old salary scale (Range 6) on
the Ist January. 1971. ·
