We are aware that the present structure of the I.C.A.C. departmental grades is not entirely satisfactory and that our recommendations do not help to resolve this situation. We have been advised however that an internal examination of the structure of the I.C.A.C. grades will be conducted by the Commissioner during 1980, and we therefore recommend no structural change pending the outcome of that examination. Some of the rank titles of the I.C.A.C. grades also appear to warrant examination, and the Commissioner may wish to consider whether they could be improved.
Starting Pay
14.
The considerations which led us to provide for multiple entry points for recruits to the Disciplined Services also apply in our view to the I.C.A.C. departmental grades. We therefore propose that the arrangements for the Disciplined Services should be extended, as far as practicable, to the I.C.A.C. In the case of the ranks of Assistant Commission Against Corruption Investigator and Assistant Commission Against Corruption Officer, we recommend only one enhanced entry point for recruits who have a minimum of 5'E's in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education, including English. Such recruits should enter at the second point in the scale i.e. MPS point 12. In the case of recruits to the Commission Against Corruption Officer (Middle/Lower) rank, matriculants should enter the scale at MPS point 25, and degree holders at MPS point 27.
