Which government staff are excluded from the special payment?

Question

Accepted Answer

Exclusions from the Special Government Staff Payment

Civil servants and government pensioners on specific types of leave or seconded to certain organisations are excluded from the special payment. The Public Service Department (PSD) has outlined conditions for eligibility for the one-off payment, which is set to be disbursed on December 18. The RM500 payment is for civil servants below Grade 54 who have served at least 30 days as of December 18, and the RM250 payment is for government pensioners receiving their pensions on or before that date.
Officers on Extended Leave

Individuals who have been on leave from January 1 to December 18, 2018, are not eligible for the special payment. This exclusion applies specifically to those whose leave period covers the entirety of this timeframe.
Seconded Personnel

Government officers seconded to agencies with separate remuneration schemes, international bodies, or private companies are also excluded. However, this exclusion is contingent on the secondment occurring throughout the entire period from January 1 to December 18, 2018.
Specific Circumstances for Interim Staff and Drivers

While interim teachers and drivers of high-ranking government officials and judges are included in the special payment, the circular clarifies that officers on half-pay or no-pay leave are generally eligible. The key differentiating factor for exclusion remains the duration and nature of the leave or secondment.
