As a civil servant, the priority and day-to-day tasks are serving the community of Saba and ensuring a positive image of oneself and the organization.

 

The Island Government of the Public Entity Saba is known for its stability, where people work together on the further development of the island.

 

Our colleagues work in an array of different fields such as airport, harbor, water management, public works, planning,  waste management & recycling, tourism, community development, public health, agriculture, HRM (personnel affairs), ICT, finance, communication, census, receivers, legal, and various policy areas. In total, there are approximately 193 employees.

 

The salary scales (pay grade) are Public Entity's scales. Every job description is at a particular scale, and each scale has 20 steps (tredes), which determine the room for growth within that function. The workweek consists of 36 hours, and civil servants are entitled to 21 vacation days a year.

 

In addition to the salary and vacation allowance, civil servants also receive a year-end bonus, equivalent to an entire month's salary (pro-rated). Employees receive 14 months' pay instead of 12. Government workers are also entitled to child allowance based on RPA BES art. 27 and the possibility for professional development with education or training.

 

Pensioenfonds Caribisch Nederland (PCN) provides the pension for all civil servants of the public entities. All persons employed by the island government for longer than 6 months pay into the pension fund.
