The salary trend survey affecting the salary increase of 180,000 civil servants was released earlier. After deducting the incremental salary, the net indicator of the salary trend of senior civil servants was -2.04%, that of intermediate civil servants was -0.54%, and that of junior civil servants was -0.68%, all negative, but In the end, whether civil servants need to reduce their salaries remains to be "decided" by the Chief Executive in conjunction with the Executive Council.

It is reported that the guild will discuss the civil service pay agenda on Tuesday (8th). It is expected that all civil servants will be frozen for the next year. If implemented, it will be frozen for two consecutive years.

"Hong Kong 01" reported last week that the guild held an informal meeting to discuss the civil service pay package "off-site" in the meeting room. The discussion was not documented. At the meeting, it was proposed that in addition to the six major factors of the mechanism, it was even more important. Consider the "seventh major factor", that is, the social response. As the largest employer in Hong Kong, if the government takes the lead in reducing wages, it may cause a chain reaction in the private market, but no consensus was reached at the meeting.

The government is expected to agree to a salary freeze decision

Some members of the guild revealed that most members prefer to freeze the salaries of all civil servants this year, but some members of the business community oppose it. However, it is expected that the "greatest common divisor" will be obtained at the meeting tomorrow, and the representatives of the trade unions will be notified.

The person pointed out that in the past week, no representatives of the bureau did lobbying work and believed that the government side agreed to the salary freeze decision.

Last year’s pay trend survey report recommended higher, middle and lower-level civil servants’ pay increases. However, the government finally used the economy and government finances as reasons and did not follow the mechanism to increase pay and only freeze the pay.

After notifying the union representatives, it is expected that the guild will "approve" the salary freeze decision next week, and then report to the Legislative Council.
