Mortuary Attendants are mainly responsible for the general cleanliness of the mortuary, receiving and storing of corpses and assisting in preparatory work for autopsies. Staff have requested a higher pay scale in view of their conditions of work and the skills required.
Although the staff receive an Obnoxious Duty Allowance for their work, we still consider that the existing scale fails to reflect adequately the nature of the job and the training and skills required. We therefore recommend that the scale be improved as follows :

The staff have sought parity with Personal Chauffeurs and Postmen who are assigned to driving duties. Some have also proposed the merging of the grade with the Special Driver grade. As stated in paragraph 6.30 we propose to conduct a review of the Chauffeur and Driver grades. Pending the completion of that review, we recommend that the scale should remain on the corresponding points on the new scale.
