Abstract

THE 1965 White Paper on Prices and Incomes made express provision for pay increases beyond the norm ‘where the employees concerned, for example by accepting more exacting work or a major change in working practices, make a direct contribution towards increasing productivity in the particular firm or industry’. That has hardly the precision of a dictionary definition, so a special report has now been issued to give guidance to those who have to judge the circumstances which could justify higher pay for increased productivity. Its definition of a productivity agreement says it is ‘a means of offering rewards to workers for their co‐operation in the more effective use of resources’.
