We opine "Yes" to your confirmation that the primary function of PIU is to furnish a fair, representative salary scale for in-service SATs; a salary agreeable to both employer and employees.
We opino "Yes" and it had been confirmed by the official Side that the omission of any pay level will affect the median either lower or higher.
That your doubtness both to the applicability and representation of P.C. Report, luplying that it will not genorate an accurate picturo is in lack of support and grounds. That the Official Side considor the PIU provides closer job comparal Liity is incorrect, and this particular point will be clarified in the followings •

(1) Within the limited the scope of 2U which only a sögment of 17 cœpanies were adopted in survey, it is not possible to agree that PIU is more accurate Luan 2.0. The theory is, according to statistic, that the wider the scope, the better the reputation. present situation that the PIU have confronted with is indeed against its aim and principlo, It is noticeable that the farthest capacity of the PIU survey is among the 6b companies agreed upon. We assume that the PIU had placed their best effort in survoy but unfortunately, their invostigation and pover of survey wore limited and restricted to the 60 companies. Moreover, it is again unfortunato that anong the 68 companies, only 17 were said to have job comparabilities.
A sound survey should not first comply its scope to limited aron, as It will of course affect the accuracy, contradicting to the tdcal of "as wide as cross section of employecs às possible. The statement or " correct procedure, normal procedure, agreed procedure" should bo disregarded as it contradicted to the primary theory of statistic. Our presentation in this connection should be valued; we opipe that our approach is correct. We see no single reason that matters affecting SATS
should be referred to or consulted with the Senior Civil Service Council and BKCCSA, but not the employer the liong Kong Government itself especially during the consultative period.
(11) The scope of P.C. report has not been bounded by any agroed procedure and any specified companies. A functionable, respectable machinery which carrios out the purpose of survoy sound enough. Based on the wider scope (covering some 30% of the economically active population in Hong Kong whom all regarded as good employers with salary structure), it is the general reference and usage for private sector. With reasonings stipulated as abovo and follows, wo opine that the accuracy and applicability of e.C. roport is appropriate for in serive SATs in comparison.
