Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has announced that civil servants in St Lucia will receive a special bonus with their December 2025 salaries, marking the first time in the country’s history that public officers will benefit from consecutive year-end bonuses. Pierre made the announcement during the 37th Annual General Meeting of the Castries East Constituency, highlighting his administration’s commitment to keeping workers and families at the centre of national priorities. In December 2024, the government granted a $500 bonus to all civil servants, a move that was widely welcomed. Extending the incentive into 2025, Pierre said, reflects recognition of the role public officers play in delivering essential services and driving national development. The prime minister said the decision underscores his administration’s pledge to support workers while signaling that families will remain at the core of economic and social policies.
