Setting Military Pay by Civilian Wage and Job Comparisons,

Abstract

The current comparability process for setting Federal civilian and military pay is described and evaluated. Special emphasis is given to shortcomings of this process with respect to setting military pay. The possibility of directly linking military pay to private enterprise pay is considered. Existing wage surveys are evaluated for this purpose, and a new survey of private sector pay is outlined. The appropriate techniques for using currently collected data, or data drawn from new surveys, are also discussed. In conclusion, the general problems of setting military pay and the principle of comparability are discussed and evaluated.
