The Bangladeshi government has issued a notification for a new pay structure, according to reports from BBC and প্রথম আলো. Under the new scale, government employees will receive increased salaries, with the additional pay taking effect from July.
প্রথম আলো has published guidance on how employees can calculate their revised salary under the new system. In a separate report, the outlet outlined what government employees will now earn at each level.
Dainik Shiksha also reported on how house rent allowances are determined under the ninth pay scale.
The notification formalises the salary adjustments for public sector workers, though the source material does not specify the exact percentage of the increase or the full breakdown of the new grades. The reports indicate that the changes apply retroactively from July, meaning employees are owed the difference between their previous and revised pay for the intervening period.
What to watch next: further details on allowance calculations and the timeline for disbursement of the arrears.
