Contracting Out

[drplokta]

Looks like any remaining in-house cleaning contracts in the Civil Service and NHS are getting contracted out, pronto. David Cameron plans to pay managers more if they can get all of their low-paid staff off their organisation's payroll and onto someone else's.

That link doesn't go to that story for me.

Edit: Unless you're seeing that as a side-effect of avoiding pay differences.

Same with me, yes.

Yes, of course. If you link managers' pay to the pay of their lowest-paid staff then they will get rid of those staff -- they won't be able to just pay them more, so they'll have to outsource their work.
