Administrative time scale,

An effect of the scala yoi propose

19-year scale as follows: ~

**

8720 for two years, then $800 x 40 to $1,000, then $1,180 x 60 to 81,420 x 80 to $1,900,

would be that total pensionable emoluments (basic salary plus expatriation pay) of an Administrative officer would rise from £815 per annum at the end of the sixth year to £1,095 per spmum at the end of the ninth year, a tota). increase over three years of 9280 per annan. Further: officer would be receiving at end of his ninth year total pensionable emoluments of £1,095 per aomum, whereas under propomla of Salaries Commission (read with, rates of expatriation pay as ĉinally approved) he would not havo reached 'this figure until end of twelfth year. It is true that scale suggested in my savingram No. 196 would have sage result at' end of the tenth year of service, but your proposal accentuates the position.

20

Scale suggested in my savingram No. 196 was intended to take account of non-acceptance of recommendation of the Salaries Commission for large (£90 per annum) increments in the later years. I note that Salaries Commission proposed efficiency bar at end of

twelfth year

るの

1.6. before first of the £90 increments,

If you are satisfied that such rapid increase

in total emoluments so early in an officer's service

would be merited by his experience, I suggest that proposed

efficiency bar be moved forward from the end of twelfth

Ex

to and of eighth year i.e, before £135 increment in te basic salary.

40 If, in light of paragraph 3 above, you still consider that the proposed scale should be adopted and then agree to move efficiency bar as suggested I am ready to approve scale set put in paragraph 1.
