Aims

To identify and understand the various elements that impact on the composition of
salaries.
To conduct a comparative analysis of current pay policies in the European countries
concerned (i.e. Belgium, France, Italy and the United Kingdom).
To note how much room for manoeuvre there is for human resource management policies in this field, and the constraints that they have to comply with (legislative aspects) and acknowledge (aspects relating to industrial bargaining).

Main themes

Salary components.
Shifts in the socio economic context in the countries concerned, and its influence on
salary determination.
Comparative analysis of the key mechanisms and negotiating processes that occur in the
determination of pay policies.
Identification and explanation of the divergences and convergences between the European
countries concerned in respect of salaries.
Constraints and opportunities in the field of human resource management vis à vis pay
policy (e.g. recruitment, proactive management, the flexibility and multiplicity of employment
contracts, and the individualisation of salaries).
