In April 2005, then Cabinet Office Minister David Miliband MP announced new Pay and Reward principles for public service modernisation. They were developed and agreed by Government, public service trade unions and employers through the Public Services Forum.
The Principles promote action in a number of areas including investment in skills; equal pay; pension reform; systems of pay incentives, and a constructive approach to increased workplace flexibility and adaptability. Together, they provide a common framework for future development of pay and reward systems across the public services.
