Perhaps I should explain some of the

background. There have been two reports, two consultancies carried
out by a company called Hay Management Consultants on behalf of the
Association. The first one carried out in 1982 was for job
evaluation and salary structure. The second one a year or so later
was on organisational effectiveness of the Association. Both of
those reports have been considered by the Board of the Association
and both of them have been implemented. As regards the first one, 9 job evaluation and salary structure, this was an appraisal system.
It effectively puts the Association on a commercial system rather
than on a Civil Service system, with the exception of the Executive Director and the Deputy Executive Director who are both retained on
Government scales. So what has happened is that basically the 14 Association has moved over to a system where its posts, etc., are
comparable with the private sector rather than with the Civil Service
except, as I say, in respect of the two senior posts. And, of course,
17 one effect of that is that having fixed the senior and deputy post at
Government Directorate scales, there is a knock-on effect down below.
But basically the remuneration, the salary package, remumeration
packages are geared towards the private sector rather than the Civil
Service.

MR CHAN:
The principle is that the conditions of
25
26
24 service and benefits enjoyed by staff of the subvented organisation
should not be more generous than those enjoyed by staff of comparable
rank in the Civil Service. So is this principle, upholding this
principle is important otherwise
other subvented organisations
28 would follow suit and have salaries higher than those of Government
Civil Servants.

Well in the light of recent events,
32 Mr Chairman, the chances are that the staff of the Association are
33 being paid less than the Civil Service.

CHAIRMAN:
What recent events, you mean the salary
