【公務員薪酬調整 2022 - 2023】立法會財委會通過公務員加薪2.5%撥款 (發放/追補薪酬/最快日期/局長楊何蓓茵/Legco approves 2.5pc pay rise for civil servants) ...... !

​立法會財委會通過公務員劃一加薪2.5%的撥款，生效日期追溯至今年4月1日。在會議上，公務員事務局局長楊何蓓茵表示，政府最快在下月向全體公務員發放經調整後的薪酬及追補薪酬。

有議員對公務員加薪幅度表示失望，因公務員之前年度已被凍薪，但卻面對通脹壓力。亦有議員表達要提高公務員士氣，除了調整薪酬，可考慮加強公務員褔利。

楊何蓓茵說，在2017/18年度至2021/22年度期間，公務員流失率介乎4.8%至近6%，主要因公務員退休。至於2021/22年度的辭職比率為2.1%，她表示，坦白來說可能是略為上升，但並非當局不能處理的情況。

​Members of the Legislative Council's finance committee on Friday approved a 2.5 percent salary increase for all civil servants.

Civil Service Secretary Ingrid Yeung told legislators the administration needed to handle salary adjustments carefully this year, noting uncertainty in the economy and that the government expects a HK$56 billion deficit in the current financial year.

Yeung stressed that the Executive Council had considered several factors before coming to the across-the-board pay rise proposal.

The civil service chief said in the future, other information could be released at the same time as the pay trend survey results, such as the state of the economy and changes in the cost of living, so people don't focus solely on the survey findings.

The government-appointed Pay Trend Survey Committee had earlier suggested salary increases of 2.04 percent for junior civil servants, 4.55 percent for middle-ranking workers and 7.26 percent for senior staff.

During the meeting, legislator Chan Siu-hung asked whether the government could consider giving extra pay rises to civil servants who perform well, in order to incentivise them.

In response, Yeung said the work of civil servants is diverse and may not be measurable, for example law enforcement or those who uphold procedural fairness. She questioned whether giving public servants bonuses might affect their original purpose of serving the people.

Officials expect civil servants to receive the adjusted pay from next month, and it will be backdated to April 1.
