Zhou Xiaosong, a member of the Hong Kong labor community, said at the meeting that the preparation of Hong Kong judicial personnel in the past 10 years has rarely changed, but the workload has increased significantly, which has made the judiciary's hard work and slowly slow down the progress of judicial procedure processing.Essence
He continued to say that in principle, he agreed to the salary increase arrangement, and pointed out that last year's judges and judiciary's salary increased with civil servants to adjust the range, far away from the salary trend of the private market.
Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the Hong Kong Election Commission, said that, given the international situation and geopolitical tension in recent years, some members of the United States ask for sanction of Hong Kong judges, whether the Hong Kong government will incorporate these situations into a basket of factors for salary increase.Even under certain circumstances, it provides a guarantee for the judge to attract and retain talents.
The Hong Kong Acting Director Ren Yaling said that the official was considered a basket of factors for salary increases after prudent considerations.She also said that the official will make corresponding adjustments in response to the actual situation, including a benchmark research every five years to review the salary trend of private practitioners.Essence
