LGOIMA Request Details: LG2384

Date received: 29/08/2025

Requested information: Information about staffing, paygrades and pay increases for last 5 years

Status: Complete

Response:

I refer to your official information request dated 29 August 2025.  

Attached is a copy of our current Performance and Reward Policy which explains the criteria, performance reviews and job sizing guidelines we use in regard to staff remuneration.  You will notice that the Policy refers to a system for job sizing but does not specify that system – currently we use Strategic Pay.  

You will find all the Elected members salary information in the annual reports which are located on our website.  I've listed the sections and page numbers below to assist you with finding the figures. 

Annual Report 2019-2020 – Section 30 on page 106 

Annual Report 2020-2021 – Section 30 on page 127 

Annual Report 2021-2022 – Section 30 on page 151 

Annual Report 2022-2023 – Section 30 on page 156  

Because we have many roles occupied by only one person, we are unable to give you the information broken down by job titles and paybands as this will identify the staff in the roles. Therefore, these have been withheld under section 7(2)(a) of the LGOIMA, to protect their privacy. 

Instead, we are providing you with the midpoint/100% salary figure for each of the paybands over the last 5 years which will reflect the shifts year on year.
