Compensation and Remuneration Reform
Direct action on remuneration: benchmarking, incentives, timely payment enforcement and transparent payroll.
The issue
Remuneration must be addressed directly. Poor pay contributes to low morale, informal payments, absenteeism, migration, and reduced accountability. The framework should recommend salary benchmarking, performance-linked incentives, rural service incentives, emergency and critical care allowances, timely payment enforcement, transparent payroll systems, non-financial benefits, and professional development support.
