Overview: This paper describes how personnel policies vary between establishments with respect to pay, tenure and worker flows. In particular we have analysed to what extent higher pay is related to higher or lower turnover among the work force and more or less seniority. Can higher pay be considered a compensation for a higher turnover among the work force? If the workforce is more stable, can the employer pay less? Various theories have different predictions for the signs. Before we can answer these questions, we will have to control for observed and unobserved wage, turnover and tenure effects at the individual and the establishment level. According to observables there does not always exist a direct correspondence between high-paying, long-tenured and expanding establishments.
