Introduction

The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (hereafter the "HKCSS") has conducted the annual NGOs Salary Survey (hereafter the "Survey") for the social service sector since 2003. Overseen by an Advisory Committee composed of representatives and experts from the social service sector, the business sector and human resources management professionals, and conducted by an independent survey consultant, the Survey aims to provide the most updated reference to assist Non-governmental Organisations (hereafter the “NGOs”) in positioning their salary and benefit practices. Starting from 2016, NGOs Salary Survey has been conducted annually while NGOs Benefit Survey has been conducted biennially. NGOs Benefit Survey is not conducted this year.

In the past decades, the operating environment of the social service sector has kept on changing. The introduction of the Lump Sum Grant Subvention (hereafter the “LSG”) has transformed the resources management of the NGOs in the social service sector, especially in human resources management. NGOs have been given the freedom to manage their staff structures, staff-mixes and the levels of salary and benefit under the LSG funding mode. To facilitate NGOs in determining the levels of salary and benefit with flexibility to meet their organisational requirements, more relevant and timely reference on the salary and benefit policy and strategy of the sector should be made available.

The scopes of the Survey and salary data collected have been modified to cope with the changing environment and practices of the sector. Since 2018, the survey has covered the salary data of all full-time staff, disregarding their salary scales following the Master Pay Scale (MPS) or not. Only snapshot staff’s salary data have been excluded. Information on the salary grade structure with both starting and maximum salaries, and detailed salary data for the given 64 benchmarked positions are covered. Apart from the availability of salary data comparisons among large-, medium- and small-sized agencies, salary data comparisons between subvented and non-subvented agencies have also been included. As a result, salary data of social work positions and social service project positions have been collected in more details with the comparison between subvented and non-subvented posts. The enhancement has provided a clearer picture of the salary information of the benchmarked positions.

With the contributions from the Advisory Committee Members and the professional service rendered by the survey consultant, the Survey has been accomplished with satisfactory results. It is delighted to report that 133 Agency Members joined the Survey this year, with an increase of 9%.

Objective and Scope of the Survey

The objectives of the Survey are to provide the most updated reference in the following areas:


In regard of the reference date of the salary data, “31 October” has been adopted, which is the same as the past surveys. Hence, the reference date in this report is “31 October 2020”.
