On the 25th, the Economic, Social and Labor Commission reached an agreement to try to introduce a salary system. Provided by the Economic and Social Labor Committee
The fact that the Economic and Social Labor Committee (Kyungsa Nowi) agreed to an effort to introduce a salary system for public institutions on the 25th is significant because it took the first step in discussions to reform the existing annual salary system, which has been singled out as a factor in the pay gap. However, since the agreement does not contain the principle and direction of the reorganization of the labor wage system and the detailed measures are left to negotiations between the workers and the management of the individual organizations, it remains to be seen whether progress can be made. substantial. On this day, the senior worker said: “We strive to reorganize the wage system of public institutions in which objective labor values are reflected in wages.” The reform of the employment-oriented wage system reflects the characteristics of each institution, rather than a uniform or unilateral method. He said he agreed with the content of “stage promotion”. It also included the content that “we will try to prepare measures to improve the system such as the operation of peak wage labor”, and it was decided to continue “the route of dialogue for follow-up discussions on the wage system of sustainable public institutions.” As of this year, there are 340 public institutions in Korea. The wage system of public institutions is the basic framework of an annual supply system in which wages are determined based on the increase in wages. Given that the annual supply system increases salaries in proportion to the number of years of service, it has been pointed out as one of the reasons for widening the salary gap between types of employment, companies and generations. Compared to this, the labor wage system reflects the role and characteristics of labor in calculating wages, so when properly designed it is more in line with the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’. The agreement came after about a year of work by Sergeant Nowi’s Public Institutions Committee, which was launched in November last year. Moon Jae-in’s government said in the last presidential election that “the structure of simply increasing wages according to seniority is not correct and it is important to introduce a new labor wage system.” Subsequently, after taking office, a national research institute (Korea Labor Institute) initiated a review of a plan to introduce a pay-for-work system for public institutions. It was an alternative that the Park Geun-hye administration decided to abolish and prepare for the promotion of the ‘Performance Salary System’ in public institutions. However, if individual public institutions enter into negotiations between workers and management, problems are likely to arise with the detailed plans. This is because, without suggesting the basic direction of the work-based wage system, it was done to “promote autonomously and staggered through worker-managerial agreements of individual public institutions.” A labor expert familiar with the track discussion process said: “The value of work is too complex and difficult to judge by institution, so the industry level has to make some decisions.” Otherwise, it could lead to a heavy warm-up for each institution. Because of this, it is not something that workers and management can pursue autonomously. “Some point out that the goal of the reorganization of the wage system is unclear.” The goal of the agreement is unclear, “said Seung-hyup Lee. , Daegu University professor (social sciences) “Although public institutions have the same job, the gap is wide depending on where they belong. “The meaning of the work-based pay system is to create social wage standards for similar jobs in the ‘super-company unit,’ but that part seems to be missing.” The part of the KCTU, which does not participate in the sergeants’ union, strongly opposed, saying it was a “half-agreement”. A public transport union under the KCTU made a statement that day, saying: “Important issues like the wage system require the consent of the parties, but this agreement is only the half agreement, so it is not effective at all. “. “There is great concern that it is promoted only with the contents unilaterally suggested by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance.” By Park Joon-yong, Staff Reporter [email protected]
