OUTCOMES OF THE 2006-07 PAY ROUND

5. 31 public bodies have had their negotiating remits approved, of these 10 had an average increase for staff in post within the upper pay band (3.5%-4.5%) and 21 in the lower pay band (2.5%-3.5%). Of the 10 in the upper pay band, 5 were NDPBs and 5 were Executive Agencies or associated Departments. The weighted average approved increase for staff in post (which takes into account the size of each body) was 3.58% for single year remits and 7.63% for two year remits with corresponding medians of 3.47% and 7.01% respectively.

6. All organisations must provide outturn information for last year's pay round (see Supporting Technical Guide for details). In particular, you should provide detail (where appropriate) on how you met recruitment and retention difficulties, took forward reform or made changes to implement strategies following equality impact assessments. Where remits were approved with conditions, evidence that the conditions have been met, or are in progress with expected timescales for full implementation will also be required.

7. This information should be sent to the Finance Pay Policy Team by all organisations within 2 months of the end of the pay remit year for all 2006-07 settlements including those which are part of a multi-year deal.
