Summary/Abstract: In the context of Romania receiving the status of country member of the European Union, we have considered to be very opportune making a parallel between the payroll system for public administration workers in the European countries and the payroll system in the Romanian administration in order to underline the main characteristics of the actual payroll system in our country. From this research, we have noticed significant differences between the two payroll systems, which are directly reflected in the lack of motivation and low performance of all personnel, with immediate effects upon the Romanian public sector competition, both against the private sector, but also with the one existing in the countries members of the European Union. Still, we can say that in the last years (2006 – 2008), together with the efforts of all administration reform 'actors' were noticed several positive evolutions regarding the formation and development of human resources from this area of the Romanian economy in order to improve the quality of the public service, which will also continue in the future period (2008 – 2013). Therefore, I am optimistic by saying that through the established strategic paths, the management of the public position in our country will accomplish the development of a professional public workers body, which will contribute to the efficiency of the administrative system and also to the improvement of its relationships with the civil society, just as it happens in the European Union, by adopting and applying all principles, instruments and mechanisms that compose the base of European payroll systems, in order to encourage performance and individual development.
