(a) Recognizing the need to have a more representative Public Sector Wage Rate Index, a new Index was compiled by CBSL. Old index (1978 = 100) covers non executive government employees and school teachers only. The new index covers all levels of public sector employees, under the disaggregation of Senior, Tertiary, Secondary and Primary levels. The base period employment structure was based on a special Annual Public Sector Employment Survey (APSES) conducted in 2012. Initial salary scales of specific occupations and due allowances as specified in the Public Administration Circular No. 06/2006 issued by the Ministry of Public Administration and Home Affairs on 25th April 2006 were used to construct the Index.
