On paragraph 11(ii) and (iii), we are satisfied with the present

grading arrangements, except as follows:

(1)

(II)

the differential between the Group III deputy director and the

assistant directors is $750 (6.9%), whereas the differential

between the deputy and the director is $2,850 (24.5%). In

general these deputies combine the functions noted in

paragraph 10(i) and (ii) above and are therefore, in salary

terme,too close to the assistant, directors. We therefore

recommend that Group III deputy directors should be graded at

the D4 level;

in Group I departments, the grading of the second tier' should

relate to the grading of the Director (D9), and therefore be

higher than the D5 level of the deputies in Group II departments;

and the single deputies (see paragraph 10(i)) should be at a

higher level than the multiple deputies (or subordinate directors).

We therefore recommend that there should be two organisational/

grading patterns for the top structure of Group I departments:

2nd tier

3rd tier
