Cap. 606 《公職人員薪酬調整條例》Public Officers Pay Adjustment Ordinance

In this Ordinance—

If the rules (however expressed) by which adjustments may be made to the pay, or to the amount of an allowance, payable to a public officer refer to civil service pay increases as the factor or one of the factors by which the pay or the amount of the allowance is adjustable, then for the purposes of this Ordinance, the reference to civil service pay increases must be taken for a public officer to whom section 8 applies to be a reference to adjustments made to a civil service pay scale.

If the adjustment of a point on a pay scale by this Ordinance results in a dollar value for that point of an amount that is not a multiple of $5, the resulting dollar value must be rounded up to the nearest $5.

If the adjustment (with any required rounding up) of a point on a pay scale by this Ordinance results in a dollar value for that point of an amount that is less than $48,700, the resulting dollar value must be increased to $48,700.

If the adjustment of the pay payable to the Director of Audit under section 7 or to a public officer under section 8 results in a dollar value that is not a multiple of $5, the resulting dollar value must be rounded up to the nearest $5.

On the operative date each civil service pay scale is adjusted by reducing the dollar value of each point on the scale by 5.38%.

The pay payable to a civil servant in accordance with a civil service pay scale as adjusted under subsection (1) is payable with effect from the beginning of the operative date.

On the operative date each Hospital Authority pay scale is, in its application to a Hospital Authority civil servant and not otherwise, adjusted by reducing the dollar value of each point on the scale by 5.38%.

The pay payable to a Hospital Authority civil servant in accordance with a Hospital Authority pay scale as adjusted in its application to him or her under subsection (3) is payable with effect from the beginning of the operative date.

On the operative date the ICAC pay scale is adjusted by reducing the dollar value of each point on the scale by 5.38%.

The pay payable to an ICAC officer in accordance with the ICAC pay scale as adjusted under subsection (1) is payable with effect from the beginning of the operative date.

On the operative date the pay payable to the Director of Audit is adjusted by reducing it by 5.38% and the pay as so adjusted is payable with effect from the beginning of that date.

This section has effect despite anything to the contrary in section 4A of the Audit Ordinance (Cap. 122) or in any order made under that section.

This section applies to a public officer to whom a monthly pay of more than $48,400 is payable immediately before the operative date and who is not a civil servant, an ICAC officer covered by section 6(2) or the Director of Audit.

If the pay payable to the public officer is determinable in accordance with or by reference to, directly or indirectly, a point on a civil service pay scale or on the ICAC pay scale, then from the beginning of the operative date, the pay is to be determined in accordance with or by reference to the dollar value of that point as reduced by section 5(1) or 6(1), as the case requires.

If the pay payable to the public officer is adjustable in accordance with or by reference to, directly or indirectly, adjustments made to a civil service pay scale or the ICAC pay scale, then to the extent that it is so adjustable, on the day of the first adjustment to the pay that is to be made on or after the operative date, the pay is to be adjusted in accordance with or by reference to the rate of adjustments made to that scale by section 5(1) or 6(1), as the case requires, and the pay as so adjusted is payable with effect from the beginning of that day.

If the pay payable to the public officer is determinable and adjustable in accordance with or by reference to, directly or indirectly, a point on a civil service pay scale or on the ICAC pay scale, then from the beginning of the operative date, the pay is to be determined and adjusted in accordance with or by reference to the dollar value of that point as reduced by section 5(1) or 6(1), as the case requires.

If the amount of an allowance payable to a public officer is adjustable in accordance with or by reference to, directly or indirectly, adjustments made to a civil service pay scale or the ICAC pay scale, then to the extent that it is so adjustable, on the day of the first adjustment to the amount of the allowance that is to be made on or after the operative date, the amount is to be adjusted in accordance with or by reference to the rate of adjustments made to that scale by section 5(1) or 6(1), as the case requires, with the result rounded up to the next dollar.

The adjusted allowance is payable with effect from the beginning of the day on which the adjustment is made in so far as it is payable for or attributable to any period beginning on or after that day.
