Food expenditures of Czechs' households and Engel's law

P. Syrovátka
Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Brno, Czech Republic

The paper analyses the pay system in a particular enterprise in the Czech Republic and proposes a change in this system. The establishment of two scales based on pay classes per month is proposed: one scale that allows for overlaps of pay classes but does not allow for overruns into other categories, and another scale that allows for no overlaps at all.

Keywords: company, human resources, salary, monthly tariff scale
