ENVY
The housing allowance I receive and pay tax on, does NOT go into my pocket but that of a "Local" Landlord!
My children do not speak cantonese and would NOT have been accepted at a local school, EVEN though I pay HK taxes. The education allowance that I receive and pay tax on does NOT go into my pocket but the coffers of the ESF.
I am not on A scale, do not receive a travel fund and my FOC was "supposed" to allow me to return to my HOME country, not go on "Holiday".
We would all like more money, but you cannot change your contract just because of envy. CEP / LEP get exactly the same pay scale as their peers, be they A, B or C scale so there is NO discrimination.
Unfortunately I think the AOA and the GC if they have approved this line of action have lost the plot!
