英国公务员现行工资制度研究

Study on Current Wage System for British Civil Servants

英国是世界上最早创立现代公务员制度的国家,公务员工资制度历经多年的改革和发展,已形成较为完善的制度体系。文章探究了英国公务员现行工资制度的法律依据和管理体制进行了探究,并从岗位评估与薪级确定、工资水平与调整机制、绩效管理等角度分别梳理了英国高级公务员和普通公务员的工资制度情况。研究发现,英国公务员工资制度主要有以下特点:(1)英国政府各部门和机构有权根据自身情况制定差异化的薪酬额度和指标,享有较大的自主空间;(2)具有一套与公务员工资制度相配套的法规体系,重视工资制度的法制化建设;(3)对不同岗位设置不同级别的薪酬额度和指标,并根据岗位责任差异而各有侧重,具有较强的针对性;(4)各部门有制定额外薪酬奖励的灵活性,可以更好地发挥激励作用;(5)每年发布《公务员工资发放指南》,具有较强的指导性和可操作性。
