The Hutton Review of Fair Pay in the Public Sector has issued a call for evidence on how more fairness can be created in the pay scales for workers in local and central government.
Economist and commentator Will Hutton, who will conduct the study, commented: "Ahead of my interim report in the autumn, I will be developing a definition of fair pay and exploring the benefits of fairness in pay and in the processes by which pay is determined."
Mr Hutton, who is the executive vice chair of the Work Foundation, also explained that he is currently looking at the issue of "pay dispersion" in the public and private sectors, as well as the links between the two.
The review was announced by chancellor George Osborne in June and its final report will be due in March next year.
Among its aims is to make recommendations that will prevent those at the highest levels of the public sector from earning over 20 times more than those at the bottom.
