Disciplined (Rank and File), Apprentice and other pay scales
1
18.
It is proposed to increase all other scales and the pay of officers on personal scales and rates in line with the increases proposed at comparable levels in the MOD 1 Scale, Master Pay Scale and Directorate Scale. The proposed scales are shown at Enclosures 6 (a) - (g).
Pensions
19.
Pension increases are no longer linked to increases in Civil Service pay scales, but to the increase in the cost of living as measured by the moving annual average of the Consumer Price Index (A). Under the agreed procedure, proposals for an increase in pensions will be submitted to the Legislative Council in due course.
Subvented organisations
20.
Organisations subvented on a deficiency grant basis (aided schools and certain hospitals) generally pay their staff on salary scales identical to those for comparable civil servants, and such organisations normally give the same salary increases as those approved for the Civil Service. Supplementary subventions are approved for this purpose to the extent that additional financial assistance is required. The same arrangement applies to the universities and the Polytechnic in so far as academic staff are concerned.
21.
Organisations subvented on a discretionary grant basis (certain hospitals and all social welfare agencies) retain a degree of independence..not enjoyed by deficiency grant organisations. The subvention represents financial assistance towards the overall cost of activities which are deemed subvention-worthy. In the absence of the same degree of control as is exercised over deficiency grant organisations, the Government has no financial commitment towards maintaining the salaries of staff in such organisations at any particular level.
22.
But these discretionary grant organisations were exceptionally given supplementary subventions during 1976-77 towards an increase in salaries for their staff in line with the increase approved for the Civil Service. In the context of the salaries increase in 1977-78 Members agreed that, if applications were received from such organisations, consideration should be given to each request on its merits, having regard to
