Dear
Dr. LEUNG,
Re: Pay Level Survey of
civil servant
We
would like to express our views towards the HA’s decisions in response to the
Pay Level Survey of civil servant.
The
Civil Service Bureau (CSB) had announced on 10th February 2015 that The Chief
Executive-in- council has decided on the application of the finding of the 2013
Pay Level Survey (PLS) to the civil service. According to the decisions, the
salaries of civilian civil servant in Job level 5 (i.e. those remunerated on MPS
points 45 to 49) are to be raised by 3 per cent with effect from 1st October
2014. The increment will also be applied to disciplined services and
Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
In
view of the survey result, we have contacted the cluster human resource units
about the HA’s decision whether HA would follow the recommendation. Their
replies were disappointing.
Over
the past years, our senior colleagues have provided not only high standard
clinical service to the public, but also training and teaching to the junior
doctors to safeguard the public’s health and cultivate the next
generation. They have upheld their
professionalism and gone through the hard times together with HA in facing the
challenges of SARS, swine flu, manpower shortage and even the current influenza
outbreak. Their devotion to duty and the professionalism should be of high
respect, appreciation and rewards.
We
would like to clarify with HAHO:
1) Would HA staff share the similar pay
rise in line with civil servants?
2) If not, what are rationales behind?
We
would be most grateful if you could reply us as soon as possible.
Best
Regards,
Yours
sincerely
Dr.
NG Chi Ho
