Miss V. So referred to the sector of manufacturing. She said that in the Pay Investigation Unit report all the 17 companies under survey only 3 were manufacturing companies, 6 commercial companies, 5 miscellaneous companies and 5 utilities companies. Because it just occupied a small fraction in the companies under survey so when they were doing calculations under the data, they had not taken into account the manufacturing sector. At the same time, the job contents for Shorthand/Audio Typists in manufacturing sector might be quite different from the Shorthand/Audio Typists in Government.

Mr. K. Broadbridge asked why did the Staff Side say that.
Miss V. So said that was just the reason they had not taken that sector into account and if the Official Side insisted, the Staff Side were prepared to put the figures in too. However, even if the figures of manufacturing were put in, the difference in the result would be only very small, say, several ten odd dollars.

Mr. K. Broadbridge said that they did not in any way put value on the Productivity Centre report and the point of establishing Froductivity Centre report's rates to Civil Service rates, they had explained several ways. That was the case why they had the agreement to their procedure. They were looking for improving ways. It seemed that the Staff Side might be misleading themselves in not calculating the full categories.
120. The Chairman said both parties were going to spend a long time on continuing their discussions on the Productivity Centre report and the other matters raised in the Staff Side's submission had to be discussed. He proposed to adjourn the meeting and resumed it at a later date, say, next Monday.

Miss V. So said she had only two points concerning the chart. It only took ten more minutes before she could finish. She asked the Chairman to let her to finish the chart first.
122.
The Chairman said the Official Side did have rany points on the Productivity Centre report. He suggested to adjourn the meeting.
123.
Miss V. So said she did not want to repeat from the beginning again in the next meeting, so she asked for ten more minutes for it could save a lot of time for the next meeting. Also, in order to have continuity, she would like to finish the chart.

125.
The Chairman agreed.
Miss V. So said from the data provided by the Productivity Centre report they had calculated the maximum for Personal Secretary. Since the figure is so similar to what the Government is paying the Fersonal Secretaries now, so they again used the same data provided by the Productivity Centre report to calculate the pay of Shorthand/Audio Typists. The proposed minimum for Shorthand/Audio Typists zas $255 and the maximum was 2149 and there were $31 typing mistake. When compared with the proposed minimum by the Staff Side with the lowest and the highest minimum of the Productivity Centre report for Shorthand/Audio Typists, differences were $226 and $172 respectively. When
compared the proposed maximum with the lowest and the highest naxinums of the Productivity Centre report, differences were $361 and $274 respectively. These differences are very small trees the differences in the FIU is a very large one. She said that these small differences showed that the figures are reasonable and justified in the Productivity Centre report.
