Abstract:     
Pay determination in small firms is widely expected to follow the dictates of the market. Research on 81 firms in three competitive sectors finds, instead, loosely defined and variable pay structures. This variability is explained in terms of the interplay between labour and product markets, firms' own choices, and 'shocks' such as the National Minimum Wage. This analysis thus contributes to developing institutional theories of labour markets and pay systems.
