the above criteria.
(c) Assistant directors
17.
Several departments represented that it was invidious to have
two levels of assistant directors: D2 for the majority, but D3 for the
Assistant Commissioner of Police and the Government' ranks in the
Public Works Department. It was said that the existence of the two
levels causes a certain envy and some working relationship difficulties,
amongst the disciplined services in particular; and it is arguably not
in keeping with the broadbanding that is a feature of grading in the
Directorate. We therefore gave this point considerable attention,
particularly in the organisational review referred to in paragraph 9.
However, we concluded that the organisational requirements of the Police
Force and Public Works Department continue to require the D3 lovel, and
thus for the present, two levels of assistant director should remain.
(d) Judicial/Legal Group
18.
One proposal from the Judiciary was that their salary scales should be quite separate from the other departments in the Judicial/Legal
Group, as well as from the rest of the Directorate.
Such a scale should
be based, it was suggested, on a series of tiers established by set percentag
relationships with the salary of the Chief Justice.
After consideration
we came to the view that there was still merit in cur present system of fixing Judicial/Legal Group salaries as a whole with regard to judicial or legal experience, responsibility and status, and then relating them -
not inflexibly to the main Directorate structure. This would be very
difficult to handle if we were to introduce a separate system for tho
Judiciary. We therefore recommend against a separate salary scale in the
way
