§ Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will place in the Library the most recent review of(a) his Department's pay systems,(b) the pay systems of the non-departmental public bodies for which he is responsible and(c) the departmental equal pay action plan. [181349]
§ Fiona MactaggartThere is no single document that could be described as a formal review of the Department's pay systems. However, there is a regular evaluation of the Department pay systems to ensure that they meet its business needs and in response to employee representative pay claims. Changes in the reward arrangements are subject to the public sector pay policy, Her Majesty's Treasury pay remit process and the normal collective bargaining with employee representatives. These changes in pay terms and conditions are then published for staff in the Department to see.
Non-departmental public bodies have delegated authority for their pay and grading arrangements and are individually responsible for their pay systems. Again there is no single document that could be described as a formal review. Changes in pay systems are made within the context of public sector pay policy, Her Majesty's Treasury pay remit process and the normal collective bargaining with employee representatives.
A copy of the Department's equal pay action plan will be placed in the Library.
