Advisory booklet - Pay systems

This booklet is intended to provide an introduction to the variety of Pay Systems currently in operation in organisations.

It is one of a series of booklets and handbooks designed to give impartial advice on employment matters to employers, employees and their representatives. Legal information is provided for guidance only and should not be regarded as an authoritative statement of the law, which can only be made by reference to the particular circumstances which apply. It may, therefore, be wise to seek legal advice.

Our helpline can answer most of your questions about employment relations matters including your legal rights and duties.
