A spokesman for the Civil Service Bureau confirmed that the Chief Executive had received the grade structure review (GSR) reports on the directorate grades, on the disciplined services, and on selected non-directorate civilian grades facing recruitment and retention difficulties from three advisory bodies today (November 27), and had asked that the reports be published for public information.
"The Chief Executive thanks the chairmen and members of the Standing Committee on Directorate Salaries and Conditions of Service, the Standing Committee on Disciplined Services Salaries and Conditions of Service, and the Standing Commission on Civil Service Salaries and Conditions of Service for the time and effort they have expended in conducting the reviews in the past year," the spokesman said.
"The Chief Executive has also directed the Civil Service Bureau to study and examine the reports in detail and to consult the various parties concerned, including the relevant departmental management, the staff sides, civil servants, and the Public Service Panel of the Legislative Council," the spokesman said.
The reports are now available for public information at the website of the Joint Secretariat for the Advisory Bodies on Civil Service and Judicial Salaries and Conditions of Service (www.jsscs.gov.hk).
