The research organisation, Incomes Data Services (IDR), gathered a range primary and secondary evidence to examine the use of ‘pay thresholds’, including conducting case study interviews with a number of organisations. A pay threshold in this context is a point in a pay structure beyond which further progression is dependent on an assessment of capability.
