Note 1: In line with the Spending Review announcements made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the communication issued by the Government Chief People Officer in November 2020, the majority of DE&S civil servants received no salary increase in 2021. However, 1,294 DE&S civil servants received an average salary increase of 1.24%. These increases were either: in line with increases in the National Living Wage; or an increase of £250 where eligible employees were earning less than £24,000 (as at 31 March 2021); or were a tapered increase of up to £250 for those earning less than £24,249 to maintain differentials. | |
Military personnel are excluded from these figures as they are not employed directly by DE&S and are subject to the Armed Forces' Pay Review Body.
