Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many officials employed by her Department, of each grade, have remained at that grade since 2010 but received a pay rise; and how much of a rise each such person at each such grade has received.
Answered by Baroness Featherstone
The number of DFID staff who have remained in the same grade since 2010, but have received a pay rise is set out below:
Grade | Number of Staff |
AA | 7 |
AO | 40 |
EO | 48 |
HEO | 55 |
SEO | 24 |
G7 | 91 |
G6 | 84 |
SCS | 29 |
Total | 378 |
The Government announced a pay freeze in 2010 which meant that all pay scales for DFID were frozen for two years (2011 and 2012) except for those earning less than the full time equivalent of £21,000. In 2013 and 2014 increases to pay scales were restricted to an average 1% cost of living increase.
All staff below the SCS within DFID have a contractual right to pay progression. Throughout the period from 2010 those staff not at the top of their pay range received an annual incremental increase.
