Please could you provide answers to the following questions about the use of pay supplements (market supplements, incentives) for council job roles as of 1 January 2023. We have provided a spreadsheet (attached) to help you fill in the answers and would be grateful if you could complete the information in that way.
Q1. Please list the job roles in the Council that are receiving any kind of supplement in their pay (this could be a recruitment/ retention/ ‘welcome’ payment), the service area the job role is in e.g Children’s Services, the type of supplement e.g. recruitment and the value of the supplement that the role receives.
Q2. For each job role in the above list, please state its grade, its lowest and highest spine points, its minimum and maximum salary.
Q3. For each job role, please also list how many women currently receive the supplement and how many men as well as the total number that receive it.
Q4. For each job role, please list the month/ year when the supplement was introduced and the month/year when it is due to end or be reviewed.
Q5. Please say which pay spine your Council follows e.g NJC, GLPC Il/OL, or local? If possible, please supply a copy of your grading structure.
Q6. Please state the total value of the most recent annual Council wage bill and the total value of the annual spend on pay supplements.
