6.43 Fitter
38 posts
Fitters are engaged in repair and construction work on government vessels or metal repair/radio installation work in the Police Communications Workshops. As their duties are similar to those of Artisans in the Fitter stream in other departments, we recommend that the grade be merged with the Artisan grade, and be given the same pay scale.

Forest Guards are employed in the Agriculture and Fisheries Department on general enforcement duties in connection with the maintenance of country parks and the countryside. Fire prevention also forms part of their duties. We consider that their pay scale should correspond to that of the Artisan grade and recommend accordingly.

This grade can be found in several departments and staff are generally engaged in the supervision of groups of Labourers. We have received representations from various groups of staff, which contain proposals ranging from requests for better pay scales and upgrading, to amalgamation with Chargeman and transfer to pensionable terms.
As stated in paragraph 6.28, we intend to carry out a further review of minor supervisory ranks in Model Scale 1 and the Master Pay Scale, in order to establish whether the need for these various ranks exists. We therefore recommend that the scale of the Ganger grade remains on the corresponding points on the new pay scale,
