The National Pay Commission (NPC) has stated that it is working to address issues identified by institutions that have transitioned to the new national pay framework.
The revised salary structure came into effect on 1 November 2025 as part of a broader government policy initiative introduced under President Dr Mohamed Muizzu to improve public sector remuneration.
According to the Commission, 93 per cent of the civil service, the judiciary and six additional government institutions have already implemented the new framework.
The NPC said it has been monitoring the rollout since its implementation and is actively reviewing challenges raised by institutions. It added that complaints received are being assessed, with consultations ongoing with relevant authorities to identify solutions.
At the same time, the Commission is undertaking technical preparations to transition the remaining institutions that have yet to adopt the new salary structure.
The government has stated that the reforms aim to bring positive changes to salaries across various sectors. Pay increases have already been implemented for the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) and the Maldives Police Service (MPS), while civil service and judicial salaries were revised last year.
Despite the progress, concerns remain among some employees who say they have yet to benefit from salary increases, an issue that has been raised repeatedly across different institutions.
