Salary policies and systems:

It is the established policy of the Government to provide adequate salaries to attract, retain and motivate people with suitable talents to provide effective services to the public, and to ensure that the salaries of civil servants are roughly similar to those of the private sector, which is fair to civil servants and the citizens they serve. Under the improved civil service pay adjustment mechanism, the Hong Kong Government conducts three surveys regularly to compare the salaries of civil servants and employees in the private sector, and decides whether and how to adjust the civil service pay according to the survey results.

These three surveys are annual salary trend survey, starting salary survey every three years and salary level survey every six years. Apart from the above survey, the Hong Kong Government will also conduct a grade structure review for selected grades when necessary. In addition to salary, civil servants can also enjoy various fringe benefits, depending on the terms of employment, rank, salary point, length of service and other qualifications. The Hong Kong Government has been taking active measures to ensure that the fringe benefits of civil servants keep pace with the times.
