Bahrain is set to create new incentives to encourage excellence and creativity among public sector employees, reported Gulf Business on Monday.

According to the website, “Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, issued an edict to amend certain provisions of the bylaw determining the wages, employment benefits and eligibility conditions for employees subject to the Civil Service Law, issued by Edict (77) of 2013, based on a proposal by the Civil Service Bureau (CSB).”

The ideal employees will receive $7958 (BD3,000) as incentive while outstanding ones will be rewarded with between $265 (BD100) and $795 (BD300).

This new law will amend certain provisions of the bylaw determining the wages, employment benefits and eligibility conditions for employees subject to the Civil Service Law, issued by Edict (77) of 2013, based on a proposal by the Civil Service Bureau (CSB).

However, employees shall not receive more than two performance-related incentives in one year,  moreover they cannot receive more than one performance-related incentive and an incentive allowance. Public sector employees can receive other incentives include a suggestions incentive and a letter of appreciation.
