Civil servants have demanded a 5.1 percent pay rise for lower-paid staff.
A study previously conducted suggested offering low-income level staff in the government a 3.8 percent increase in wages only – which workers believe is not in line with inflation rates.
The previous survey proposes that senior civil servants will receive a 5.96 percent increase, middle-ranking officials 4.71 percent and at the lowest salary bands 3.8 percent.
Thel survey considers six factors in addition to cost of living, morale, economic conditions and government’s fiscal position before adjusting salaries, reports the SCMP.
