Since the pay of civil servants is protected by the basic law and the ability to reduce salary is not included in the employment contract terms of civil servants , government had to legislate the cut before its implementation in order to avoid any unnecessary litigation 由于公务员受基本法的保障,而在聘用合约中又没有减薪条款,故政府需要以立法方式,肯定减薪的合法性,以减低诉讼的风险。社会上对公务员减薪立法一事持不同意见,立法会内亦就应否立法的问题争持不下。
