The Public Service Benchmarking Body was established on 19 July 2000 following discussions between public service employers and unions as provided for under the terms of the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness. It has been asked to report by end-June 2002. The body has met the unions and employers and has received submissions from the two sides on both general matters and in relation to specific groups who are being reviewed.
