17 companies in total.
(a) The Pay Investigation Unit calculates salary scale for in-service S.A.T.s
at HK$1043 at minimum and HK$1781 at maximum, for the purpose of restructuring. (b) One single company represents a full pay level. Totally 17 companies provide minimum salary. Note that the minimum ranging from $746 and $1537, which are too extreme for surveying purpose.
only
(c) Totally/16 companies provide maximum pay.
Note that the maximum ranging from
$1408 and $3024 which are too extreme. Some of these companies have only one S.A.T. staff.

(d) It is important to note that the current shorthand and typing speeds for
in-service S.A.T.s are 70 w.p.m. and 40 w.p.m. respectively and 30 w.p.m. and 50 w.p.m. respectively after restructuring. The Official Side
repeatedly stressed on job comparability. However, the Pay Investigation Unit included Code No. 22 in which the S.^.T.07201 possessed a goor stendard in shorthand and typing specds, ilet 50 w.p.m. and 40 w.p.m. respectively. It is well-known that the
50 W. p.m. shorthand speed is non-functional and we are surprised to learn that S.A.T.s of that calibre. are quoted by the Pay Investigation Unit for comparison.
F. SCOPE OF SURVEY
1. Pay Investigation Unit Report
1.
The 1973 and 1974 Pay Investigation Unit Report surveyed 24 private companies for setting salary scales for in-service SATS. In 1976 Pay Investigation Unit Report, only 17 companies from private sector were selected, a significant down trend in number of companies. The scope is getting smaller and smaller, as a result that the Pay Investigation Unit is bound to be inaccurate.
