Irish Civil Service And Public Service Pay System - Example Of Good Practice -

Summary/Abstract: Within this article the Civil Service and Public Service Pay System of the Republic of Ireland has been analyzed and presented in order to provide Serbia with the example of the good practice of legal regulation and management of such comprehensive pay system. The existing Public Service Pay System in the Republic of Serbia is complex, which makes it costly to administer, and difficult to budget and control costs. It has a large number of coefficients in separate schedules, one for each service (with no clearly stated rationale for the differences in coefficients between similar jobs) and many allowances. These features involve considerable administration and make it difficult and costly to budget and control payroll costs. The system does not guarantee equal pay for equal work. The above characteristics of the present system result in cases where people doing the same job in different institutions can receive quite different total pay. The Irish Pay System, both in the Civil Service and in the Public Service guarantee the application of principle equal pay for equal work, and it is much simpler, easier and cheaper to administer and run that the Serbian one. Because of that and many other positive elements Irish System could be an example of legislative and managerial practice which Serbia should follow in performing Public Service Pay System Reform. The conclusion of the author of the article is that the one of the most valuable elements of the Irish civil service and public service pay system is the fact that it has a common pay and grading structure. This means that all departments and offices have the same approach to grading, with pay levels in respect of each grade determined centrally. The obvious rationale for these arrangements is to promote and preserve an independent and impartial civil service and public service.
