Civil servants compensation system and governance model are important parts of the income distribution system reform in China.

Establishing a civil servants compensation system and longterm compensation governance model in which responsibilities and authorities are combined is the goal of the future reform. This includes: carrying out position classification，job analysis and job evaluation; keeping the compensation management authority consistent with the boundary of officials grading management system; constructing the compensation budget management and performance report system; promoting wage legislation and strengthening the supporting reforms related to the compensation management and governance.
