Law Clerks Joint Labour
Committee - Employment
Regulations Order
At a meeting of the Law Clerks Joint
Labour Committee held on 15 July,
1993 the application of the third phase
of the PESP (an increase of 3.75%) to
the rates of pay of employees covered
by the Law Clerks JLC was approved.
The Employment Regulation Order
covering this increase took effect from
23 August, 1993. Members are advised
that, as the Employment Regulation
Order which covered the last increase
took effect from 6 July, 1992, and the
effective date implementation of the
latest increase is 23 August, 1993,
employees who are covered by the JLC
rates of pay have had to wait over a year
before receiving an increase in pay.
Members may, therefore, wish to
consider backdating the implementation
of the latest increase to 6 July, 1993.
