Senior leadership pay guidance

Pay arrangements

Employees will have their first year of incremental credit in 2024 to 2025 if they:

  • transition to the bottom point on 1 April 2023, or
  • are appointed to the bottom point during 2023 to 2024

Therefore, assuming satisfactory performance, their next increment will be 1 April 2026.

For employees who are not on a transition point, including new appointees, their first year of incremental credit will be 2023 to 2024.  Their next increment will be 1 April 2025, assuming their performance is satisfactory.
