Romania Public Sector Pay Practices : Overall Public Sector Trends and Detailed Analysis of Local Government Contract Employees
geographic_facet Europe and Central Asia
Romania
description The purpose of this study was to assist the Ministry of Labor (MoL), Social Solidarity and Family to analyze the current public sector pay practices and to provide recommendations that could be used to strengthen public sector compensation strategy in the future. This study was originally intended to focus on all categories of public sector employees that were not part of the civil service statute. However, because of problems the MoL faced in obtaining the central government data on several groups, the decision was made to limit the study to local government contract employees. Within that group it includes execution and management jobs, high and low-skilled positions, and jobs found in local governments of all sizes. The group is covered by its own employment statute and so the findings on pay from this group are not necessarily generalizable to others covered by different statutes. On the other hand, the study confirms that some of the problems and weaknesses found among the civil service can also be found among contract employees. The study also confirmed that the highly disaggregated information management and reporting processes are a hindrance to policy analysis and planning. Although the individual employment statutes do detail what allowances each category of jobs is entitled to receive, the government lacks a picture of how this manifests itself in practice on external competitiveness, on internal equity, or on the capacity of governments to attract and motivate skilled professionals. This study is a first, limited attempt to address some of these issues for non-civil servants. The study is organized into four main sections: i) size and composition of public sector employment; ii) remuneration of local government contract employees; iii) comparative analysis of pay policies in the public sector; and iv) conclusions and recommendations.
