Description of work
Established in 1979, the main function of the Standing Commission on Civil
Service Salaries and Conditions of Service (SCCS) is to advise and make
recommendations to the Chief Executive, Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region of the People's Republic of China on the principles and practices
governing pay, conditions of service and salary structure of the non-directorate
civil service, other than judicial officers and disciplined services staff.
The decision as to whether the advice should be accepted rests with Government.
The
Pay Trend Survey Committee (PTSC) is an independent body established in 1983 by the Administration on the advice of SCCS. The main function of the PTSC is to commission the annual pay trend survey, analyse the results of the survey, ensure that the agreed criteria for the interpretation of the data collected have been properly applied and agree on its results.
