STANDING COMMISSION ON CIVIL SERVICE SALARIES AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Our Ref. SC3/W/6

His Excellency Sir Jack Cater, KBE, JP,

Acting Governor of Hong Kong,

Room 1322,

Prince's Building,

Chater Road,

Hong Kong.

12 Novembe: 1980.

Your Excellency,

The Works Supervisor Grade

In our First Report on Civil Service Pay (Report No. 2)

we undertook to conduct a further review of the Technical and Survey Officer grades in the light of the findings of a joint management/staff association working party. We also said that such a review would be extended to include an examination of the Works Supervisor grade. In a letter dated 7th October 1980 we advised Your Excellency of the results of our re-examination of the Technical and Survey Officer grades and we now have the honour to submit cur advice on the pay scales and structure of the Works Supervisor grade.

Until 1977 the duties of the Works Supervisor grade were performed by staff in the Foreman grade. At that time, the Foreman grade consisted of two ranks, Foreman and Senior Foreman, and staff of the grade served in a number of government departments. In most departments their work was largely concerned with the supervision of men. However, the 1977 Technical grades review found that the work of Foremen and Senior Foremen in the Public Works Department involved more technical supervision than was generally the case elsewhere in government. Foremen and Senior Foremen in this department were therefore regraded Works Supervisor II and I respectively to better reflect the nature of their duties. Subsequently, this regrading was extended to appropriate posts in the Foreman grade in other departments. pay scales for the two Works Supervisor ranks remained the same as those for the corresponding ranks in the Foreman grade.

The

Works Supervisors are employed in two main categories :

(a) in plant or site operations, mainly supervising Artisans

and Labourers (and in some cases carrying out highly skilled work) with Works Supervisors I in overall charge of a plant or a whole section of a large plant and Works Supervisors II in charge of a shift or the operation of a particular sphere of work;
