As agreed with your office, we obtained information on the compensation systems of Australia, Canada, England, and Japan. We conducted a computer-assisted literature search and obtained published studies and reports from the Library of Congress, Office of Personnel Management, and other Federal and non-Federal sources. We also obtained information from representa- tives of these countries. Specific details on how these countries set and adjust compensation levels are discussed below. AUSTRALIA Australia sets pay for virtually all of its 154,000 civil servants by collective bargaining. The only exceptions are for 30 top level officials whose pay is fixed administratively. Benefits, including pensions and leave, are set legislatively by the Parliament. The Parliament periodically adjusts pension annuities according to changes in the Australia consumer price index. The Public Service Board, the government's central personnel agency, individually negotiates with over 70 employee unions or- ganized along both agency and occupational lines.
