Pay multiple

The pay multiple - overview of the Council

This information is based upon the Pay Policy Statement for 2018/2019.

(At the time of review and publication, the National Joint Council pay awards for Officers and Chief Officers for 2018-2019 had not been agreed. Salaries and pay multiples quoted are based on the current and most up to date figures available).

The median (average) salary is determined by ordering all employee salaries from highest to lowest (or lowest to highest) and identifying which salary falls at the mid-point of the range. The mean (average) salary is defined as the total estimated salaries payable in 2017-2018 for the full permanent establishment (headcount) divided by the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) of the full establishment. The pay multiple between the median (average) salary at the Council (£22,658) and the highest paid employee (Chief Officer) is 1:3.1. The pay multiple between the mean (average) salary at the Council (£25,442) and the highest paid employee (Chief Officer) is 1:2.8. The pay multiple between the "lowest paid employee" (£15,613) and the highest paid employee (Chief Officer) is 1:4.5. The highest paid Chief Officer (Deputy Chief Executive) receives £70,459 inclusive of applicable supplements.

The definition of 'lowest-paid employees' adopted by the Council for the purposes of the Pay Policy Statement is those employees on the lowest pay point in use by the Council. Taking account of the increase in the National Living Wage on 1 April 2017, the lowest pay point in the Council equates to a minimum of £7.50 per hour - Grade A/B; Spinal Column Point 6-7; £15,014 - £15,115.

There are 4 employees at the Council whose remuneration is greater than £50,000 (see information above on Chief Officers).
