Civil servants accept 8% cut in salary








Bermuda's Premier & Finance Minister, Paula Cox

Bermudian civil servants have reportedly agreed to an eight per cent pay cut for a year.
This is in response to a request made by Premier and Finance Minister, Paula Cox. The cut will be offset by a freeze on employee pension contributions.
In addition, government is also expected to take a break from its part of pension contributions, resulting in a $31 million saving over a 12-month period.

Bermuda legislators agree to 17.5% pay cut

Bermuda legislators agree to 17.5% pay cut

(Royal Gazette): One Bermuda Alliance Leader Craig Cannonier yesterday insisted that Cabinet Ministers should bear the brunt of pay cuts. “The One Bermuda Alliance supports a pay cut for Ministers because they are the people in charge of the Government from policy to operations. It is Cabinet Ministers who run the Government, no one else,” Mr Cannonier said. “They are where the buck is supposed to stop.” His statement came hours after receiving a well publicised letter from Premier Paula Cox asking whether his party’s legislators would agree to a scheme which would see their take home pay drop by five percent.
