There are also market premias applied to certain roles.
- We do not currently have retention payment as part of our pay policy.
- Our annual pay review is governed by the Civil Service pay remit guidance. Each year, we implement the annual pay remit award to increase our staff’s consolidated pay. Pay increases are structured using a graduated approach, whereby employees below the salary mid-point receive a higher percentage uplift than those above it, ensuring a consistent and fair distribution of the award. Outside the Annual Pay Remit, salary increase may be awarded as consequence of role re-evaluation (and following change in grade) or change in position.
