Salted Fish's position in the Changhang Bureau was terminated, and his future became the focus of many people's attention.

Political Commissioner Sun returned to the bureau and was reporting to the director whether it was necessary to talk to Shi Shengyong sooner when, unexpectedly, the Personnel Bureau called.

"What difficulties are there that make things difficult to handle? Bringing Comrade Han Yu back is a work necessity. Secretary Ye and Deputy Mayor Shen are very concerned. Just a few days ago, Secretary Ye asked Director Zhou about the progress of Comrade Han Yu's job transfer... This is a special case requiring special handling!"

The more Political Commissioner Sun listened, the more infuriated he became, and he couldn't help but slam the table: "This is about talent introduction. Whatever treatment he enjoyed at Changhang Navigation Police Branch, we can only offer higher, not lower than that of the Changhang Bureau, otherwise how can we retain talents?

Let me put it this way, your firm decision definitely won't work. What regulations are being violated? Which specific regulation? The Linghai Port Industrial Park District Committee is going to be officially established next week, hasn't the Organization Department informed you that Comrade Han Yu is supposed to join the committee? That settles it.

Fine, I'll report to Director Zhou right now. What kind of way is this to handle matters, do we really need Secretary Ye to call you personally! What's wrong with being young? Can't you properly review his records and revisit the relevant regulations from our superiors..."

His partner, living up to his name, was always gentle and refined, not resembling a police officer but more like a scholar.

Zhou Huixin had never seen him so angry, he handed over a cigarette and asked: "Old Sun, what exactly happened to make you so angry?"

Political Commissioner Sun took the cigarette, sat down, and said: "Although Salted Fish's work affiliation was transferred here, we need to determine his position and rank before we can decide on his salary. When Salted Fish was transferred to the Changhang Bureau, he was appointed as the Deputy Division Commander of the Fire Brigade, a role both grueling and dangerous. According to the salary reform policies of the Changhang Bureau, Salted Fish was rated Deputy Director level two.

Later, when Salted Fish additionally took on the role of acting director at Bailong Port Police Station, the Changhang Bureau raised his salary grade by one step according to regulations. Coupled with his excellent performance and notable achievements last year, this year, following usual practice, his salary grade was increased by another step, meaning he is now at Deputy Director level four, with a monthly duty salary of 124 yuan."

In 1993, the superiors carried out a salary reform.

The salaries of state agency staff are comprised of duty salary, rank salary, base salary, seniority salary, and various allowances and subsidies.

There are several grades for duty salary, and the duty salary of Deputy Directors and Chief Clerks has eight grades.

There are many grassroots cadres, but few positions for Director and Deputy Director level, so achieving Deputy Director is quite an accomplishment. Hence, salary assessments in Linghai generally occur every three years; if all aspects are excellent, an upgrade by one grade is possible. Only those with particularly outstanding work and achievements can be promoted ahead of schedule.

Therefore, the eight grades designed by superiors are not fully utilized in Linghai.

After all, cadres reaching Deputy Director positions are generally over the age of forty-five and mostly serve up to two terms. If they can't be promoted to Director, they have to step down.

Thinking of these, Zhou Huixin couldn't help but smile, "Deputy Directors normally start at level two, with a duty salary of 94 yuan. Him coming in demanding level four, with a duty salary of 124, seems quite exaggerated to the Personnel Bureau."

"It's not just about duty salary; the Personnel Bureau also had objections about the rank salary."

"What objections?"

"Salted Fish would have filled the Deputy Director position for two years by the end of the year. Normally, he should be placed at level thirteen, meaning his monthly rank salary should be 77 yuan. But he has received First-level Merit, recorded by the General Politics, and the Ministry of Transport Police once issued instructions for Changhang navigation police to raise his salary level by one, making him now level twelve. The Personnel Bureau doesn't want to recognize it."

It's a cross-system transfer, moving from the transport system to the police system.

It's quite normal for the Personnel Bureau not to recognize the rank previously established in the transport system.

If it wasn't for the city leaders' emphasis on handling this as a special case, it generally takes two to three months to determine his position and rank.

Zhou Huixin is well aware of how difficult it is to get things done, and asked: "How much difference is there between level thirteen and level twelve?"

"Level thirteen is 77, level twelve is 92."

"Just because of a difference of fifteen yuan, the Personnel Bureau thinks it's difficult to handle?"

"It's not just the rank salary; the difference in duty salary is even greater. The Personnel Bureau believes that since Salted Fish hasn't completed two years as Deputy Director, his duty salary should be set at level one. If we set it at level four like Changhang Bureau did, there's a difference of forty-five just in duty salary."

The low salary treatment for cadres leads the superiors to explicitly write in the salary reform document that salaries in different regions should be linked to economic development, allowing provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities to use local financial resources to arrange salary-related expenditures to narrow the gap between the salary levels of agency staff and local enterprise employees.

Thinking that most enterprise employees earn more than cadres, Political Commissioner Sun bitterly smiled, "Those people at the Personnel Bureau, I don't know if they are just envious or really trying to save money for the city, but they actually did the math for Salted Fish."

Zhou Huixin laughed and asked, "What math?"

Political Commissioner Sun picked up a pen, and as he wrote quickly, he smiled and said: "Calculating the salary, saying that if we set Salted Fish's position and rank like the Changhang Bureau did, a duty salary of 124, rank salary of 92, base salary of 90, seniority salary of 8, salary reform retention allowance of 40, food subsidy of 12, level-based subsidy of 45.

Plus a regional allowance of 36, First-level Police Chief's rank allowance of 199, daily Police standby duty allowance of one yuan, and since police work almost every day, that adds another 30!"
