This is nearly seven-fold the average salary in the private sector. A breakdown of commission pay structures revealed striking income disparities, including at SRC itself, which could easily cause a major distortion in overall employee remuneration in the country’s public sector. He was however quick to add that the senior-most positions in the private sector compared well and often dwarfed the commissions and the public sector in general. Mr Collymore’s pay is, however, an outlier when compared to the broader private sector where a huge proportion earn close to or even below the minimum wage. There are hardly any allowances paid to private sector workers, outside of the basic pay against more than 70 classes for the various public sector institutions.
