The government has acknowledged that its program of compensation and rewards is a roadblock in its movements to reinvent government operations. In its report, From Red Tape to Results: Creating a Government That Works Better and Costs Less, the National Performance Review recommends that government agencies design their own compensation programs to help improve operations. In New Strategies for Public Pay, leading experts examine current civil service compensation systems; analyze proposals for reform; discuss issues of equity and fairness, merit pay, collective bargaining, labor market influences, and more; and offer viable compensation alternatives, which have proven to work in private industry, to current government pay systems.

The paper provides an overview of the main elements of pay systems that are typically used to remunerate government employees and, with reference to the experience of developed and developing countries, discusses structural issues frequently arising in the formulation of government pay policies: (1) the role of fringe benefits in the compensation system; (2) the pros and cons of a greater merit orientation in the pay system and of special pay schemes designed to remunerate staff at the professional and managerial level; and (3) factors determining internal pay differentials with special emphasis on the compressing effect of flat amount cost of living adjustments.
