The goal of the reforming remuneration system of state administration launched in 2022 was a single, transparent and competitive remuneration. The audit conducted by the State Audit Office of Latvia shows that the legal framework for the reform has been established, including a procedure for determining a monthly salary, but the goals of the reform have not been achieved in practice. Although total remuneration costs have increased significantly, the inequality of remuneration among ministries and institutions persists. Employee remuneration is still determined by historically established base funding, not by the value of a position and the content of the work.
