The book focuses on reward and compensation in Europe and the challenges ahead. Europe is a large and diverse region comprising many states, 27 of which are members of European Union. This results in a variety of compensation, benefit and non-monetary reward practices, about which we know relatively little. Therefore, we need more debate about current issues in reward and compensation, both from a policy and practice perspective.

Xavier Baeten and his colleagues examined and compared the different pay systems applied in the European Union. The situation for workers in Finland is very different from the ones in the UK. And the unions in Germany have other targets than the ones in the Netherlands. Pay is an important topic for several stakeholders on the labour market. For individual employees and employers, but also for the trade unions, employers' associations and national governments wanting to attract investments and high employment. This book tries to serve them all with an answer to their burning questions.
