Bonus
All teachers are entitled to a variable Non-Pensionable Annual Allowance(NPAA) which is usually equivalent to their 1-month gross salary and an Annual Variable Component (AVC) at the end of the year. The quantum of the AVC varies from year to year depending on Singapore’s economic performance.
Trained teachers are also eligible for consideration for the Performance Bonus. The Performance Bonus is an additional bonus awarded in March each year for the work done during January to December of the year before.
CPF Contributions
CPF Contribution is only for teachers who are Singapore Citizens/Singapore Permanent Residents(SPR).
With effect from October 2003, the employer’s contribution to your CPF account is 13% of gross monthly salary.
CONNECT Plan
Dedication should never go poorly rewarded—that is why the Ministry has come up with the CONNECT Plan to duly remunerate its teachers on top of their salaries and bonuses.
The Plan was established to recognize dedicated teachers for their commitment to the cause of education, something that we believe must be handsomely recompensed. Currently, all trained teachers under Permanent Establishment can get to enjoy the benefits laid out by the Plan.
A sum of $3,200 to $8,320 will be set aside yearly for each teacher. We understand that financial commitments for teachers at the start of their career may be greater, and so have arranged for the annual deposits in the first 20 years to be commensurately higher.
