Devon County Council has a Market Supplement Policy.

The payment of a market supplement is a way to deal with difficult recruitment and retention problems where it is not possible to recruit or retain particular staff or categories of staff. A market supplement is defined as an addition to the basic pay of a post which temporarily increases the pay awarded to the post without altering the job evaluation determined grade for that post. This policy has been agreed with the recognised Trade Unions – UNISON, GMB and Unite.
