When anyone asks a public official whether he/she earns enough you will often hear that he/she does not earn as much as he or she could in the private sector. Often the comment is also made that a person does not work in the public sector because of monetary reasons but rather because of a service orientation. Both these statements can be contested and based on the work covered during this week, reflect on the following questions:

Based on how the compensation system for your post is structured, do you consider your organisation to be a good employer, an employer that values your contribution?

Support your reflection with appropriate examples What ought to be in place to make pay-for-performance work in the public sector?

What should you recommend that your organisation becomes an employer that values and recognises its employees efforts?
