Sample Code for: Creating Public Payroll Indicators:  A Methodological Guide

By Innovation in Citizen Services Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)

The R code is used to calculate and standardize payroll indicators from common-format personnel records. Specifically, it provides working examples for deriving each key indicator (wage bill growth, employment growth, average pay trajectories, pay equity, gender pay gap, turnover, promotions/career progression, and retirement projections), so governments can compute these measures for the whole administration, for specific agencies, or for employee subgroups (e.g., by job, gender, contract). The code also illustrates recommended calculations and helps address common data errors, enabling comparable, reproducible salary indicators across countries.
