It will be noted fron Appendix G that the
required shorthand/typing spoeds for stenographic stnil and the required typing speed for typing staff staff in the private sector are gonorelly highon
mom those required in the Wi
eZvice
We opine that job comparabilities as well as the 17 companies stipulated in FIU Report should be identical as DATO in major companies perform secretarial service in stenographic duties and typing; records/dictated letters, reports and transcribes the. in typewritton fora; perforas limited clerical duties. For example, job coutouts of SATs in companies such as Hong Kong Telephone Company Ltd, lisin Chong Construction Co. Ltd. and Jardine, Matheson & Co. Ltd. are quite similar without too much deviations.
Bearing in mind the existence of "pooling" in- service SATS, we see no justification by claiming the 17 companies participated in PIU Report can be well compared with, and not thie 71 companies quoted in P.C. Report.
In view of all the above-mentioned, we trust that the Official Side should have a better picture in overall. the subject matter affects the whole of SATS, wo consider constructive and significant compensations both in pay rates and promotion prospect an appropriate procedure, of wit chi uctails as stipulatod in our fresh submission dated 11.0.77.
The Promotion Prospect
It is unfortunate that there is no pronotion prospect for SATs and the advancement prospect is extremely slim. The Lovermneut should admit tuo facts that they are incapable of furnishing suficient promotion and advancement prospects for the qualified Sais vaich aro over 30% in total. The newly established advancement, namely, S.T.S. will be a soli-destruction struggle among the Secretarial Class as total vacancies nuberod to 70 and only 0.5/100 elong the Secretarial Class - 2.3., 6.4.1.s and Senior Typist can fight for the mentioned advancement. A practice contradicted to the good employers policy.
As to age of analogues, the PIU claimed that a junior secretary or steno-typist is in her early 20's,
a secretary from above 25 onwards and a Senior Secretary over 30. It is unfortunate and totally reasonable to the SATS in Civil Service that 336 out of 417 have reached tho age of 25 onwards, receiving maximum pay.
