Civil servants are set to receive a pay rise of between 3.13 percent and 5.08 percent this year.
The figures are calculated on the basis of a pay trend survey conducted by a government-appointed committee that studies salary movements in the private sector.
According to the survey, senior civil servants can expect a 4.58 percent jump, with rises of 5.08 percent and 3.13 percent for middle and lower-ranking staff.
But the committee’s chairman, Lee Luen-fai, said the final level of increases will be decided by the government after considering a basket of factors.
Last year, civil servants were given pay increases of between 4.06 and 4.51 percent.
