The Salaries and Allowances Tribunal issues a determination annually with respect to the remuneration to be provided to offices within the Special Division of Public Service, Prescribed Office Holders and Clerks of the Parliament.
On 19 June 2026, the Special Division, Prescribed Office Holders and Clerks of the Parliament Determination No. 1 of 2026 was issued, with effect from 1 July 2026. During the year, Variations to this Determination are issued to reflect changes to positions, office holders and salaries.
For administrative purposes, the tables for Special Division CEOs and Non-CEOs, Prescribed Office Holders and Senior Legal Offices are provided below and will be updated and linked according to Variations issued.
As stated in the Determination, agencies must advise the Tribunal when positions become vacant, so that they can be reviewed by the Tribunal and appropriate salary points or ranges provided for advertising and recruitment purposes. Additionally, the Tribunal must be notified within 4 weeks of appointments being made so that Variations can be issued.
The 2026 Determination and all subsequent Variations are available at the bottom of this page.
