Senior Civil Servants: Pay
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Practitioner guidance on the 2024-24 Senior Civil Service Pay Framework, published on 30 July 2024, whether he made an assessment of the potential merits of making civil service pay increases contingent on increases in productivity.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Senior Civil Service (SCS) pay is subject to an independent pay review body process. This year the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB) recommended an award of 5 per cent for all members of the SCS. The Government accepted this SSRB recommendation in full. In addition, departments can award one-off non-consolidated performance related bonuses to members of the SCS to recognise high performance and delivery of objectives.
