As state organs, the salary system of the staff of government organs and institutions is directly related to the construction and operation of the state civil servants. In recent years, with the popularization and application of performance-based wages and living allowances in government agencies and institutions, how to treat these two salary items scientifically and reasonably has become an important topic.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify the different positions and roles of performance-based pay and living allowance in the salary system. Performance-based pay is an additional remuneration given to civil servants based on their individual and job performance, which embodies the principle of "work is rewarded" and can stimulate the enthusiasm of civil servants. The living allowance is to provide basic living security for civil servants to make up for the increase in the cost of living due to official needs, and it is part of the fixed salary of civil servants. There are distinct differences in the nature and purpose of the two.
Second, performance-based pay should not be confused with living allowances. The subsistence allowance should be regarded as an inherent salary of civil servants and should not be arbitrarily reduced or abolished. Performance-based pay should be flexibly adjusted according to the actual performance of civil servants. Some local organs have abused the name of "salary reduction" to reduce the living allowance of civil servants, which in essence has undermined the system of civil servants' salaries and benefits, and is not conducive to the building of the contingent of civil servants.
Furthermore, the evaluation of the performance of civil servants should focus on fairness and fairness. The evaluation should not be arbitrarily made because of the subjective will of individual civil servants, nor should the evaluation results be distorted due to the consideration of departmental interests. An open and transparent performance appraisal system should be established, with clear appraisal standards and procedures, and channels for civil servants to appeal. Only in this way can performance-based pay really motivate and civil servants actively participate and support.
In short, the correct understanding and use of performance-based pay and living allowance is an important part of protecting the reasonable rights and interests of civil servants and giving full play to their enthusiasm. Organs and departments at all levels shall, in accordance with the spirit of state regulations, scientifically arrange the status and role of the two in the salary system, so as to promote the healthy development of the cause of building the contingent of civil servants.
