Appropriate public sector remuneration
policies are key for performance. They can motivate staff to
a limited extent by rewarding performance but more generally
by eliminating inequities and avoiding frequent and sudden
changes in pay. They can also assist in retaining competent
staff one of the most critical drivers of public sector
performance. Developing pay policy in the public sector is
complex, administratively and politically. This note
analyzes one approach to creating a fiscally sustainable,
equitable and performance enhancing pay policy, the single
pay spine. It focuses on the single pay spine as a means to
help countries achieve four pay policy objectives: 1)
ensuring that public service pay is affordable; 2) achieving
competitiveness with pay outside the public service; 3)
promoting greater transparency in public pay; and 4)
ensuring that there is equal pay for equal work (i.e.
eliminating inequity). |
