(d)
It is inequitable to treat officers performing similar duties more favourable when they happen to be employed by the Disciplined Services. It is therefore suggested that the pay differentials for photographers in the Police and other departments should be reduced or preferably all photographers grades should be merged.
(e) The recommendations on the pay scale and status of
Assistant Professional Officers require further clarification. There are certain Assistant Professional Officers who cannot or do not want to become fully qualified but nevertheless perform an essential service in the Government. For this reason, the pay scales for Assistant Professional Officers should not be lowered; and suitable training facilities should be provided for officers of this rank to enable them to reach the Professional rank in the shortest possible time.
(f) If the observation in the Report that management
capacity is strained in maintaining effective
relationship with staff is correct, the Administration should remove the strain immediately.
(g) There are no convincing arguments to justify the big
gap between the entry point for School Certificate Grades and the Matriculation Grades. The gap should be reduced by putting up the entry point for School Certificate Grades. The one point difference between an officer with school certificate and two years training (MPS 16) and another with school certificate and three years training (MPS 17) was too small. situation could arise whereby an officer receiving three years training may receive less in salary terms than the officer with two years training.
(h) It is illogical to permit disciplined services to
retain multiple entry points for different academic qualifications while such qualifications are merely regarded as of secondary importance in setting the pay scales of disciplined services whereas the rest of the Civil Service is deprived of this arrangement.
