Chapter 1 in Public Sector Pay Determination in the European Union, 1999, pp 1-28 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book examines the procedures for determining the pay of public sector workers in six European countries: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (UK). It reveals how rates of pay in the public sector compare to those in the private sector of each country and how the pay structure is, in all cases, quite different in the two sectors. The book also provides an explanation for the differences in pay between the sectors, distinguishing the role played by the different institutions for setting public sector pay in the six countries.
