The Standing Committee on Disciplined Services Salaries & Conditions of Service has called for additional merit increments for loyal, meritorious and long-serving officers in the basic ranks, and lengthening their pay scales.

In its grade structure review submitted to the Chief Executive today, the committee also suggested improving pay scales for higher ranks. However, it recommended no change to the current entry pay levels.

The grade structure review involved 53,000 disciplined services staff in 29 grades and more than 100 ranks. The committee noted the unique command structure of the disciplined services and the general concerns about morale and development of mid-career officers.

The committee received 441 written submissions of views. Click here to view the report.
