6.41 Dredger Crane Driver II
6 posts
Dredger Crane Drivers II in the Public Works Department are responsible for the operation of dredgers and grab-cranes. Staff have represented that their existing pay is unsatisfactory and have requested an improvement.
Rank II of the Dredger Crane Driver grade is at present paid from the Model Scale 1, whereas rank I is paid from the Master Pay Scale. We feel that the transfer of Dredger Crane Driver II to the Master Pay Scale would assist the consolidation of the grade. In accordance with the principle set out in paragraph 5.13(c) of our Report No. 2, we recommend the transfer of the junior rank to the Master Pay Scale. A consequential adjustment to the pay scale for Dredger Crane Driver I is also recommended.
