PETALANDO A JAYA: The Congress of Unions of Public Function and Public Function Employees (Cuepacs) said today that bonuses should not be granted to public servants based on merit or service sector, noting that such measures could lead to the demotivation of public servants to omit.
Noting the Malaysian Academic Association Council (MAAC) proposal to award bonuses to civil servants based on merit and sector, Cuepacs said that the country’s civil servants should be viewed as a team whose members complement each other, rather than of a “one man show”.
“No sector is more important than another because all contribute to the development and economic progress of the country.
“If the criteria for granting bonuses are given according to the service sector, it gives the impression that certain sectors of the public service are not as important as the sectors that obtain higher bonuses.
“This will lead to debate and is likely to demotivate officials in certain sectors because they think they are not important.
“Therefore, Cuepacs believes that bonuses should be granted equally to all public officials regardless of their merit or sectors,” Cuepacs president Adnan Mat said in a statement.
MAAC President Mohd Idrus Masirin proposed yesterday that bonuses to civil servants be awarded according to merit and the service sector, stating that it could be carried out based on the annual performance evaluation report ratings received. by the employee, as well as the performance of the employee in the established key performance index. by the department and the government.
Noting the “main challenges” that public officials had faced in the last three years due to the economic recession, the change of government and the Covid-19 pandemic, Idrus said that awarding bonuses according to the merit and the sector of services would also help low-income officials. how to make sure it was distributed fairly.
Adnan, who said merit-based bonuses were too subjective, added that strong individual performance in the public sector was only possible thanks to the support of colleagues and employers.
On the contrary, if the official was evaluated badly, he said that the head of the department should also be questioned.
