Modelling the harmonized tertiary Institutions Salary Structure (HATISS IV)

Abstract

This paper analyses the Harmonized Tertiary Institution Salary Structure (HATISS IV) used in Nigeria. The irregularities in the structure are highlighted. A model that assumes a polynomial trend for the zero step salary, and exponential trend for the incremental rates, is suggested for the regularization of the structure. Furthermore, a model for salary review is proposed.


KEY WORDS: Polynomial trend, exponential trend, Zero step salary, incremental rate, salary modelling.
