Overview
Our analysis is based on the Commission’s 467 pay relevant employees in post on 31 March 2022. Our gender balance at this date was:
- 286 women
- 181 men
The Commission follows a standard public sector approach to pay and grading. Roles sit within one of eight grades (Administrative Officer to Senior Civil Service PB2), and each grade has an associated pay range. Pay awards comprise:
- a consolidated pay increase paid to all
- a non-consolidated award, also known as performance related pay (PRP) where eligible
PRP links performance against objects with individual pay awards. We do not award underperformance. Performance awards are set during pay negotiations with our Departmental Trade Union Side as a value depending on grade and performance level and irrespective of gender.
Performance pay is complemented by our employee recognition scheme. People are recognised and rewarded by payment of vouchers or a special bonus.
