Localisation
Since the early 1960s the Hong Kong Government has appointed overseas candidates to fill vancancies in the public service only if
no local candidates are available, except in the Administrative and
Police Services. Since 1985, the Hong Kong Government have ceased to recruit expatriate officers on permanent and pensionable terms.
The Hong Kong Government have approved a compensation scheme which will among other things enable pensionable overseas officers who are required to retire early, or who are superseded for promotion to make way for local officers, to be compensated for loss
of career.
