A comparative analysis of pay and benefit systems in self-government units in relevant countries and proposals for Croatia

Local governments and incumbent systems in selected countries (Austria, Finland, Slovenia, Hungary) are analyzed with respect to the organization of territorial governments, the scope of local government, the number of employees in the public sector and the share of employees in local self-government, and with respect to the regulations for the planning regulatory status and salaries. Comparing Croatia, with the four selected countries, we can highlight the following facts: a relatively small population and territory, two levels of local self-government, the size and territory of local self-government units do not stand out from the average, a relatively high percentage of people employed in the public sector, a very small percentage of workers in the public sector are employed in local self-government. Furthermore, in comparison to other relevant countries, salaries in local and regional self-government units in the Republic of Croatia differ significantly among individual local and regional self-government units than is the case in other analysed countries where they have a common system for determining salaries in local self-government units. The main characteristics of pay and benefit system in local and regional self-government units in Croatia are also stressed.
