Summary Guide on Civil Service Regulations published
The Civil Service Branch announced today (Monday) the birth of a Summary Guide on Civil Service Regulations.
The Civil Service Regulations, which is a 6-cm thick, A4 sized, heavy rule book on civil service conditions and conduct, has now been summarised into a 2-cm thick Guide in A5 size.
The Summary Guide covers the major provisions of the Civil Service Regulations in simple language. It is intended to be a handy and user-friendly reference tool, with clear subject index, for use by both management and staff.
The Acting Deputy Secretary for the Civil Service, Ms Grace Lui said that the Guide had been produced to explain civil service regulations in simpler, clearer and easier to understand terms.
"About 15,000 copies of the Guide (8,500 in Chinese and 6,500 in English) will be distributed to different government offices and units. This will hopefully enable easy access by all civil servants," she said.
The Staff Side representatives of the four Central Consultative Councils have participated in the chapter-by-chapter examination of the draft Summary Guide, production of which has taken some 12 months to complete.
"The Staff Side representatives have tendered invaluable advice and made significant contributions in the process," Ms Lui said.
"The Summary Guide is not a replacement of the Civil Service Regulations. The Civil Service Regulations remains the authoritative and authentic document," she added.
