Our contacts trust us and are willing to take part in our research. This, we believe, puts us in a unique position to deliver research outputs to government bodies, regulators, employers’ and employee bodies, and we have produced research to the public sector Pay Review Bodies, the Low Pay Commission, and the Office of Rail and Road among others. Topics include progression pay, unsocial hours patterns and premia, regional pay, low pay and examining the respective contributions of basic salary, bonuses, allowances, premium payments and pensions to overall employment spending.
