6.49 Laboratory Attendant

156 posts

Laboratory Attendants are employed in a number of departments. Their main duties include the operation and maintenance of laboratory apparatus and equipment, and providing assistance with minor experiments. We consider the existing grouping appropriate and recommend that it should remain comparable to that of the Artisan grade, in accordance with our broadbanding principle.

6.50 Labourer

21,164 posts

Labourer is a grade common to almost all departments. We have received representations from various groups of staff, proposing higher pay, retitling, amalgamation with the current Semi-skilled Labourer grade, annual increments and transfer to pensionable terms.

We have examined the different Labourer posts in various departments and are satisfied that in general their present ranking is in order. However, we recommend upgrading to Workman I of Labourer posts in the demolition teams of the Housing Department and the General Duties Teams of the Urban Services Department, in view of their duties and the nature of work.

We consider the existing grouping of the Labourer grade appropriate and as stated in paragraph 6.18, recommend retitling of the grade to "Workman II". We also recommend the following pay scales :
