(Although I know they exist ) How DO you get rid of these "accountable" highly paid "execs". The Chief of Basildon hospital didnt have the gumption or the time to visit the casualty ward where serious health issues were found on a surprise inspection, even though he could have gone through casualty every time he entered or left the building.....it is adjacent to the main entrance. If I was CEO of a hospital...Id be doing the "rounds" and seeing for myself...these people think that ticking the right boxes is the right thing to do, The Sailors of the ships in my above link have to get things right...ticking a box doesnt keep a ship on track, or a potential oil spill from happening.

The difference is these 'executive ' public servants are no more that party apparatchiks. They are as partisan as the old communists of the USSR, they just don't know it. They do not fully realise they work not for the state but for the labour party. Ticking boxes, hitting quotas and making action lists is all they know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mammon Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Remember the real cost to the tax payer for someone earning 100K in government is only about 66K. Whereas to a private company the cost is 113K due to extra employer NICs. So the taxpayer gets these guys for effectively half price!

Tax collected goes to Inland Revenue or whatever the Dept is called now. the Dept has paid out the salary from TAx and borrowing. His recollected tax goes into the pool for respending.....not back to his department. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the same either way. no, its not the same... the department will have a budget for the spend. so if NHS has Doctor A on 100K...they will spend that. Next year, the tax take as a whole will decide if the 100K is available or not...if not, then borrowing takes place if they want the doctor back. If they dont want him, the budget is reduced and the borrowing required adjusted. Whatever happens, the 100K comes from somewhere. just as you cant elevate by tugging onyour bootstraps, the department cant pay for anything without the tax take...and tax take comes ALL from wealth creation.

No it doesn't. That's your first mistake. I have £100,000. I pay 5 employees £20,000 each. Each one pays 'tax' of £4000. I use that to employ a sixth worker. So what I really have is £120,000. That's how accountancy in the public sector works. Yes, the original £100,000 came from the private sector tax take but the 'tax' the public sector workers pay 'increases' the amount of money available to pay the staff.

Revenue is allocated to the pool and your authority recieves it from central government. I saw this on my payslip every month for years as a public sector worker.

Guest absolutezero Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 no. you pay the inland revenue. And they then split it up and send it to departments. In my example I just cut out the middleman. otherwise, government would be missing the revenue from the public sector. the public sector workers wouldnt be getting their NI contris up. Why? I send money to Revenue and they send it to the State and the State sends it back to me to pay my staff. What's hard about that? and no, you dont have £100,000. Yes I do. It's my staffing costs. Besides, it was an illustration. Not real. The 'tax' my employees pay might not come back to me but it'll pay someone else's £20,000 salary elsewhere. you have a budget which you have submitted and had approved the year before. Revenue is allocated to the pool and your authority recieves it from central government. So? I saw this on my payslip every month for years as a public sector worker. Sounds like your payslips had a lot more information on them than mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What's difficult about running a branch of care homes in some obscure County and getting £130k pa for the privilege? I know many people who could do that job for less than half the salary.

It's not a market, it's a budget spend. Many salaries in the Public Sector have overtaken what the market demands as you put it. What market are you refering to?

Mammon Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) The fact is that if the state wants to employ an additional 1 million workers at 100K each, it only needs to raise the equivalent of 66K for each worker. That is how much the existing tax payers needs to fork out for each of those employees. Edited December 12, 2009 by Mammon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine the beaurocracy in trying to back work budgets for staff all on different tax codes, pay rates and tax credits. They dont, they budget the full wage cost. If they did it your way they would be losing 34k of revenue for each worker, so next years cutbacks would be very severe indeed, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
