Professional officers consist of administrators (substantive work) and assistant (purely clerical work). Administrator and assistant posts shall have different qualification requirements (for example, university vs. lower secondary education) and different wage tariffs.
If the officer posts were divided into expert administrator class and assistant class with differing qualification requirements and remuneration conditions, it would be possible to attract experts into public service while keeping reasonable costs of public service.
