Annual salary of employees of central enterprises
This conclusion is not new, but the situation that has lasted for many years still lacks change, and also shows that the resistance to reform is quite strong. The State Council issued at the beginning of the year "on deepening the reform of the income distribution system," also mentioned two points: on the one hand, to non-public enterprises as the focus ...... by 2015, the collective contract signed rate of 80%, and gradually solve the problem of low wages of employees in some industries; on the other hand, on some of the income of the industry's state-owned and On the other hand, for some state-owned and state-controlled enterprises in industries with excessively high incomes, we will strictly implement the policy of double regulation of the total amount of wages and the level of wages of enterprises, and gradually narrow the gap between wages and incomes in the industries.
At present, the outstanding problems that need to be solved in the field of income distribution include, but are not limited to, higher wages in centralized enterprises than in private enterprises, in fact, they also include: at present, there are a lot of subterfuge rules in the field of recruitment of state-owned enterprises, especially in monopolistic state-owned enterprises, the will of the chief, the factor of human feelings often play an abnormal role; within the state-owned enterprises there is also a large gap between the income of executives and ordinary employees, and there are also large gaps in wages and incomes between state-owned enterprises in different industries. There is also a large gap in wages and incomes between state-owned enterprises in different industries.
After the release of the State Council's opinion, the outside world has been looking forward to more supporting policies to give a specific path of operation. A few days ago, the media quoted an authoritative source as saying that the initial distribution on the important position, improve the income of the middle and lower income people, will be the income distribution reform breakthrough point, is expected to be introduced after the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the relevant measures. In our opinion, this kind of thinking is correct, but for it to become an effective measure, especially when it comes to the income distribution reform of central or state-owned enterprises, the following points need to be noted:
First, adjusting the current high wages of central enterprises is a better entry point for income distribution reform. The essence of state-owned enterprises is owned by the whole country, whether it is a central enterprise or a local state-owned enterprise, the fruits of its reform and development should be shared by the whole country, not just by the enterprise workers alone. We recognize that the employees of state-owned enterprises in the process of the development of state-owned enterprises to dedicate wisdom and labor, but they receive compensation should still be in line with the level of development of society as a whole, especially monopoly enterprises wages must not be higher than the average wage of society for a long time. Otherwise, this is likely to trigger and accumulate social discontent, which in turn will hurt the system of state-owned enterprises as well as the credibility of the government.
Secondly, it is easy to accept the adoption of progressive measures to regulate the wage bill and wage level. Reform will always meet with resistance, whether it comes from interest groups or parts of the public. In order to make the reform successful, it is necessary to adopt a more appropriate program. At present, the average wage in central enterprises is 3.8 times higher than the average wage in private enterprises, so we cannot ask for a short-term adjustment to 2 times or the same level, and a radical program may cause new problems. Therefore, we can take 5 or 10 years, gradually slow down the increase in the income of employees of central enterprises, so as to ultimately maintain a relatively balanced relationship with the average level of society; the monopoly enterprises can be taken to gradually increase the proportion of profits contributed to the allocation of these funds to the social security fund, so that all the people to share the dividends.
Third, the reform of income distribution involving central enterprises or monopoly state-owned enterprises can not be limited to the wages of employees, many invisible benefits, gray income also contributes to this income gap, must be reformed at the same time. Some central enterprises may not be too high on the surface wages, but the total amount of welfare benefits transferred to employees through other means may be quite alarming. Not long ago, the Audit Commission reported on China Mobile Group's failure to include its supplementary pension insurance, which has been on trial since 2002, in its annuity management, as well as its purchase of anonymous multi-purpose fitness cards for its employees in its welfare payments, which can actually be used for fitness, catering, shopping and other activities. Like this situation, also need to strengthen supervision and management, to prevent the reform from being drilled.
At the same time, it should also start a comprehensive reform in the field of state-owned enterprises, improve the market competition mechanism and the internal competition mechanism of the industry, and expand the access of private capital. Only by placing state-owned enterprises and private enterprises on the same starting line for competition can the maximum utility of state-owned enterprises be realized, and the income of their employees will be the most fair. Even if a central or state-owned enterprise can maintain a more competitive wage level to attract better human resources, it should do its best to eliminate the existing unspoken rules of employment and establish an equal, free, unified and open labor market. In addition, improving the income distribution system and the tax adjustment system, and strengthening the management of the income of senior executives and middle managers of state-owned enterprises are also important. Only in these areas to form a comprehensive supporting program, we in this area of income distribution reform can achieve final success.
