<p>All departmental pay awards have been applied in accordance with HMT pay guidance
that restricts increases to an average of one per cent across all staff. Over the
last three years, the department has targeted awards so that lower paid staff receive
higher awards than those at the top of pay grades.</p><p>The table below shows the
number of employees of the Department for Education who received a pay increase a)
above, (b) at and (c) less than one per cent for each of the last three years.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Pay
Award Year</p></td><td><p>Above 1%</p></td><td><p>1%</p></td><td><p>Below 1%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>3611</p></td><td><p>989</p></td><td><p>721</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>2405</p></td><td><p>926</p></td><td><p>194</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>2302</p></td><td><p>699</p></td><td><p>492</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>These figures include staff in post on the 31 March each year and exclude people
that joined during the financial year (i.e. the pay awards for staff in post on 31
March 2017 are included in the 2017/18 figures).</p>
