Points to Note in the Appointment of CA and ACO in Aided Schools
1. A clerical staff member, changing without a break in service from an aided primary or secondary school in receipt of the Administration Grant to another aided primary school receiving the Revised Administration Grant, will have his/her previous clerical experience counted for incremental purpose along the revised starting salary scales so long as –
his/her earlier appointment in the aided school paid under the Administration Grant can be certified by his/her previous school to the effect that he/she held a clerical rank that was comparable/identical to the rank entitled by a school in accordance with the clerical entitlement calculated under the respective Codes of Aid for Primary Schools and Special Schools; and
he/she meets the respective qualification requirement(s) for the rank as laid down in the respective Codes of Aid.
2. For CA paid by Revised Admin. Grant / Admin. Grant re-appointed without a break in service as ACO in the same school or another school also paid by Revised Admin. Grant, their entry pay should be determined according to the established formula under CSR 130(2) if they have not got their severance pay (see the annex for details). The date of regrading/re-appointment will be taken as the incremental date of the new appointment. However, if they have got their severance pay, they will not be given any incremental credits.
3. For ACO paid by Revised Admin. Grant / Admin. Grant re-appointed without a break in service as CA in the same school or another school also paid by Revised Admin. Grant, they will be paid at the revised starting pay point for the new post plus ICE, if applicable (ICE should only include their continuous experience as CA/ACO before the transfer), if they have not got their severance pay. The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post. However, if they have got their severance pay, incremental credits will not be given to their previous experience.
(Remark: Before 1.8.2007, the clerical staff upon appointment to CA/ACO under the above arrangement should be remunerated on the reference pay scales until they receive their first annual increment.)
Appendix 9
Page 2 of 2
Annex
1. Under the in-service appointment scheme of CA to ACO, an officer’s salary would be determined in accordance with the formula under CSR 130(2):
Existing pay in former rank Minimum pay point of new grade x
Minimum pay point of former rank
2. Due to the discontinuation of the Delinking arrangement, the minimum pay points of the former and new grade at basic ranks will be on the ‘standard’ pay scales. For an appointee appointed to another office on his/her incremental date, his/her pay in former office before transfer shall be taken as the pay he/she would have received on that date had he/she not been appointed on transfer.
(Remark: Minimum pay points on the reference pay scales should be used for appointment before 1.8.2007)
3. The above amount is capped by:
a) the next pay point immediately above the pay point on the pay scale of the new office nearest to the officer’s existing pay in the former office; and
b) maximum pay point of the new office.
4. The above capped amount is rounded to the nearest pay point on the pay scale of the new office.
5. The appointee will progress to the next pay point of the rank on the ‘standard’ pay scale on his/her next incremental date.

Pay Arrangements on Appointment to the Three Teaching Grades of CM, PSM and GM in Aided Schools
Since 1 April 2000, the salaries for teachers on transfer between schools in the public sector have been determined on the basis of “carry-forward” arrangement under which serving teachers appointed before 1 April 2000 are allowed to keep their existing, higher salaries upon transfer to another school in public sector on or after 1 April 2000 without a break in service (rather than receiving a lower salary on the basis of the reduced starting salaries implemented since 1 April 2000 plus ICEs). (See Appendix 10 B for details)
2. Upon implementation of the new starting salaries, the “carry-forward” arrangement should apply to all serving teachers upon transfer (within the same rank or between comparable ranks) between public-sector schools without a break in service. The salary as determined under this arrangement should prevail over the calculation of salary based on the new starting salaries plus ICEs.
The continued application of the “carry-forward” arrangement ensures even-handed treatment in the event of both upward and downward revision of starting salaries arising from a future Starting Salaries Survey, which will be conducted every three years from 2006. It also ensures parity of treatment with civil servants who are only entitled to a pay equivalent to the “carry-forward”
arrangement upon transfer between government departments.
3. The pay on appointment arrangements, as detailed in the following annex, should be implemented for appointments of teachers at the following ranks in aided schools without a break in service, including appointments of serving teachers on transfer from aided, government, Caput or Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS)1 schools:
(a) Certificated Master/Mistress,
(b) Assistant Primary School Master/Mistress; and (c) Graduate Master/Mistress.
1 For the application of the pay arrangements in this Appendix, the ‘salary’ of a teacher in a DSS school to be carried forward should be determined as if his/her service in the DSS school had been with an aided school. We would take into consideration the entry qualification, the duties performed, the position in the DSS school in relation to a comparable rank in an aided school, and the actual salary received, etc. for the service in the DSS school.

Annex
Pay Arrangements on Appointment to Teaching Posts at Entry Ranks in Aided Schools Transfer/Changes without a break in service Pay arrangements on appointment (a) Teachers transferring from an aided, government,
Caput or DSS school to another aided school within the same rank or between comparable ranks
Salary to be determined by
“carry-forward” arrangement
(b) Teachers changing from a non-graduate teaching post (e.g. CM) in an aided, government, Caput or DSS school to a graduate teaching post (GM/APSM) in an aided school (within the same school or change of school)
Salary to be determined by either
“carry-forward” arrangement or assessment on the basis of the new starting salaries plus ICEs, if applicable, whichever is the higher.
(c) Teachers changing from a graduate teaching post (GM/APSM) in an aided, government, Caput or DSS school to a non-graduate teaching post (CM) in an aided school (within the same school or change of school )
Salary to be assessed on the basis of prevailing starting salaries plus ICE, if applicable
(d) Teachers changing from a higher rank in an aided, government, Caput or DSS school to the entry rank of the same grade in an aided school (within the same school or change of school )
Salary to be assessed on the basis of prevailing starting salaries plus ICE, if applicable
(e) Teachers, originally paid under funding other than the Salaries Grant (e.g. CEG, QEF, and schools’
own funding) in public sector schools, being appointed to hold posts paid by the Salaries Grant
These teachers are regarded as serving teachers with their salaries determined as if they have been remunerated under the Salaries Grant. Salary to be determined by (i) “carry-forward”
arrangement if the former post is of comparable rank to the new post (as if they have undergone normal conversion); or (ii) arrangements (b) to (d) above if the former post is not of comparable rank to the new post.
Note:
1. The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post.
2. For those teachers who had been subject to reduced starting salaries effective from 1 April 2000 but not in service on 1 August 2007 (i.e. reference date for normal conversion of salaries of affected staff), the salary assessment of these teachers should be determined as if they have undergone normal conversion (if applicable) on the first day of appointment.
3. The school should also adopt an open, fair and accountable mechanism in selecting the most suitable CM to fill a GM vacancy, vice versa. To avoid interruption to the smooth operation of schools, teachers should not be allowed to have a change in grade if the coming change is less than one year from their last change in grade within the same school, unless the change is justified by the school concerned, e.g. as a result of a change in the staff establishment.
4. For teachers rejoining the teaching profession after a break in service, their salaries should be calculated on the basis of prevailing starting salaries plus ICEs, if applicable.

Special Arrangement for Pay on Appointment to Three Teaching Grades in Aided and Government Schools
(Effective from 1.4.2000 to 31.7.2007 inclusive)
The following special arrangement for pay on appointment applies to teachers serving in the three prescribed teaching grades (Certificated Master/Mistress (CM), Primary School Master/Mistress (PSM) and Education Officer (EdO) or Graduate Master/Mistress (GM) (including teachers appointed under the enhanced Native-speaking English Teacher Scheme)) in the aided, government, Caput, BPS or DSS schools on appointment to three teaching grades in aided or government schools without a break in service –
(a) a teacher serving in a teaching post in an aided, government, Caput, BPS or DSS school who is appointed to another teaching post in the same or equivalent grade in an aided or government school will be offered his/her existing pay1 in former post upon appointment to the new post, if it is higher than the starting pay of the new post, plus incremental credit for experience (ICE), if applicable. The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post;
(b) a teacher serving in a teaching post in a non-graduate teaching grade (CM) in an aided, government, Caput, BPS or DSS school who is appointed to a teaching post in a graduate teaching grade (PSM, GM, or EdO) in an aided or government school will be offered his/her existing pay in former post upon appointment to the new post, if it is higher than the starting pay of the new post, plus ICE if applicable. The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post;
(c) a teacher serving in a teaching post in a graduate teaching grade (PSM, GM or EdO) in an aided, government, Caput, BPS or DSS school who is appointed to a teaching post in another graduate teaching grade (PSM, GM or EdO) in an aided or government school will be offered his/her existing pay in former post upon appointment to the new post, if it is higher than the starting pay of the new post, plus ICE if applicable. The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post;
(d) a teacher serving in a teaching post in a graduate teaching grade (PSM, GM or EdO) in an aided, government, Caput, BPS or DSS school who is appointed to a teaching post in a non-graduate teaching grade (CM) in an aided or government school will only be eligible for the starting pay of the new teaching post, plus ICE if applicable (i.e. no special arrangement to allow carrying of existing pay). The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post;
1 For the application of the special arrangements in this Appendix, the “existing pay” of a teacher in a DSS school should be determined as if his/her service in the DSS school had been with an aided school.
Appendix 10B
Page 2 of 2 (e) a teacher serving in a teaching post in a higher rank of a grade in an aided, government,
Caput, BPS or DSS school who is appointed to a teaching post in a lower rank of the same or equivalent grade in an aided or government school will only be eligible for the starting pay of the new teaching post, plus ICE if applicable (i.e. no special arrangement to allow carrying of existing pay). The pay upon appointment is capped by the maximum pay point of the new post; and
(f) the Director of Education reserves the discretion to determine the appropriate entry pay of an appointee to the prescribed teaching grades, subject to approval by the Secretary for the Civil Service if required in respect of teaching grades in the Civil Service.
2. For the purpose of the special arrangement above –
(a) the following will not be considered as a break in service :
(i) where the break in service between the former and new teaching appointment does not exceed 45 days (extend to 1 year with effect from 1.9.2006), in recognition of the unique appointment arrangements in the education sector;
(ii) where the Director of Education may consider meritorious cases of a teacher rejoining the teaching profession after a period of professional development normally of no more than one year in duration as no break in service, on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the following guidelines :
the course is a full-time education-related professional development course or job-related course acceptable to the Director of Education
the teacher concerned has sought the prior agreement from the Director of Education to the course he/she will take that will conform to the standard required to teaching and the duration of the course
the teacher will rejoin the teaching profession immediately or within a period acceptable to the Director of Education;
(b) the existing pay of an appointee shall be taken as the pay he/she would have received on the date of appointment to the new post, had he/she continued to serve in his/her former post and not been appointed to the new post.
3. For the avoidance of doubt, the pay for substantive appointment on transfer of serving civil servants from one of the teaching grades of CM, PSM, and EdO to another teaching grade of CM, PSM and EdO within the Civil Service will be determined in accordance with the special arrangement above approved under CSR 130(5), and will not be subject to CSR 130(1)-(4).
