Salaries for public service jobs are determined by the Public Service Bargaining Council. Once salary scales have been agreed, individual jobs are assessed and allocated a salary level (also called a position). The salary for a particular position is usually mentioned in the advertisement for the position.

The advertised salary for ordinary jobs usually excludes benefits such as medical aid (in other words, those benefits come on top of the salary) but for executive-level jobs a "package" is usually offered which is inclusive of all these benefits.

You can view salary levels for the public service for:

• full-time employment
• part-time employment (five-hour day)
• part-time employment (six-hour day).

Salaries are governed by the Regulations to the Public Service Act.
