This data is for 2022/23 and valid as at October 2022. This is updated annually and you can see our Pay Policy in full or read the extract below starting on page 15.
“ 21.0 Pay multiples (or pay dispersion)
21.1 There is no formal mechanism for direct comparison between pay levels of the wider workforce with senior manager pay and there are no council policies on reaching or maintaining a specific pay multiple.
21.2 The pay multiple recommended for adoption by the Hutton Review of Fair Pay in the Public Sector is the ratio between the salary of the highest paid employee and the median full time equivalent (fte) salary of the organisation.
21.3 The council’s current (31 October 2022) pay multiple from the highest pay (£191,782 per annum) to the median pay (£28,226 per annum) is 1:7. This pay multiple is the same ratio as the previous year.
21.4 The council’s current (31 October 2022) pay multiple from Chief Officers within the Corporate Management Team (£138,083 per annum) to the median pay (£28,226 per annum) is 1:5. This pay multiple is the same ratio as the previous year.
21.5 The Council will monitor these ratios on an annual basis to ensure that there is no undue wage inflation in senior management pay rates. “
