CONFIDENTIAL
HONG KONG GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT
Report of the Civil Service Branch for the period :
1 November 1981 to 31 January 1982
Standing Commission on Civil Service Salaries and Conditions of Service
The Standing Commission recommended that the 1982
civil service pay adjustment should, as in previous years,
be made on the basis of a pay trend survey, but proposed
a number of modifications to the methodology. It also
recommended that the 1982 pay trend survey results should
be modified to take account of any difference in the value
of civil service and private sector fringe benefits. At
its meeting on 19 January 1982, the Executive Council
accepted all the modifications to the pay trend survey
methodology. However, it agreed with the Administration
that it would be impossible in the time available for
the 1982 pay adjustment exercise to work out an appropriate
system that took account of the difference in the value of
fringe benefits.

In the meantime the pay trend survey for 1981 82
had been commissioned. The results will be available in
early February, and it is hoped to announce the 1982 pay
adjustment (if any) in early April.
