Civil servants offered 9.98 to 10.14 per cent pay rise
On the advice of the Governor-in-Council, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Michael Sze, today (Tuesday) made the pay adjustment offer to the staff side of the civil service central consultative councils.
The Administration has offered a 9.98 per cent pay adjustment for the directorate and the upper salary band of the civil service (i.e. monthly salary at $34,691 and above) and 10.14 per cent for the middle and lower bands (i.e. monthly salary at $34,690 and below), with effect from April 1, 1995.
The offers are subject to the approval of funds by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council.
Mr Sze said the offer for the upper and middle bands was in line with the net pay trend indicators and the offer for the lower band was brought up to the same level as the middle band in line with the established practice.
"In advising on the size of the pay offer, the Governor-in-Council took into account the findings of the pay trend survey, the staff side's pay claims, the state of the economy, the budgetary position of the Government and the views of the community at large." Mr Sze said.
The proposed pay award, including the provision for subvented organisations, will cost an additional $7.13 billion a year.
The Government will make a final decision on the pay adjustment later this month following consultation with the central staff consultative councils.
End/Tuesday, June 6, 1995
