Pay Investigation Unit. The role and administrative location of the Pay Investigation Unit require careful consideration, and we propose to include this subject as a priority item in the next phase of our work.
(c) Civil Service Consultative Machinery We consider effective communication between staff, management and indeed ourselves to be of great importance and we therefore intend to give it appropriate priority during 1980.
(a)
Four of the Terms of Reference of the Standing Commission I (e), I(f), IV and X)
I(f), IV and X) are concerned with civil service consultative machinery. During the first phase of our work, we have had the opportunity of examining the current consultative machinery, including the role of the Senior Civil Service Council, the staff associations and departmental joint consultative councils or committees as well as the part played by departments and the Government Secretariat in this process. We also invited staff and management to submit general or specific representations; visited government departments; met associations and representative groups; and participated in seminars, talks and public affairs programmes on radio and television. We have found all these channels of communication useful, and they have given us experience which will prove valuable in formulating our advice on the civil service consultative machinery.
Conditions of Service The scope of the Standing Commission's interest in conditions of service is set out in Terms of Reference I (d) and I(g). During the coming year we shall follow the progress being made by the Administration in its review of housing, referred to in paragraph 70 of our Report No.1. we indicated in paragraph 72 of that Report, we shall also consider the extension of fringe benefits to married women officers as part of our review of conditions of service.
