Abstract: At a time of public expenditure cuts the issue of how public sector workers should be remunerated is of central importance. The paper presents an approach to wage and maintenance cost setting for municipal employees. Norm setting allows creating equal and fair conditions for local administrations, optimising the structure and number of municipal employees, attracting qualified personnel. To determine the best mechanism for establishing the norm, we analyse the key features of the existing methods, formulate criteria for municipalities grouping and create the formula for norm calculating. Norm setting methodology is empirically tested, based upon 2013 data for the 339 municipalities of Perm region, and policy implications of the results are discussed.
