6. Further, prior to the revision of the salary scales of the
Junior Clerical Service in 1930 rent allowance was granted in
accordance with General Order 110A of 1924.
Salaries of $3,000 per annum and over
: -
Allowance of $25 per month.
Allowance of $20 per month.
Salaries of $2,000 to $2,999 per annum :-
Salaries of $850 to $1,999 per annum
Salaries of $450 to $849 per annum :
-
Allowance of $15 per month.
Allowance of 38 per month.
Subsequently a revision was made and the present General Order
relating to the grant of rent allowances was brought into force
as from 10th December, 1931 :
Salaries of $3,500 per annum and over :-
Allowance of $25 per month.
Salaries of $2,300 to $3,499 per annum :-
Allowance of $20 per month.
Salaries of $1,100 to $2,299 per annum :-
Allowance of $15 per month.
Salaries of $480 to $1,099 per annum :
Allowance of $8 per month.
It will be noted that the new scale of rent allowance compares
unfavourably with the old scale. For instance a Class VI clerk
on the maximum of the old scale (i.e. $850) would be eligible for
the $15 rent allowance under the old Order whereas under the new
Order he (on maximum $1,050) would only qualify for $8 allowance.
