answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2024 answer text <p>Pay arrangements for civil servants below the Senior Civil Service are delegated to departments. Under the framework of delegation, each department and agency has the power to determine its own terms and conditions of employment and is therefore a separate bargaining unit. Each department and agency is therefore responsible for consultation (or for certain matters, negotiation) with trade unions subject to the annual Civil Service Pay Remit Guidance. This has been the case since 1996. Departments each have their own local pay bargaining units to engage with trade unions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Queen's Park and Maida Vale answering member printed Georgia Gould question first answered 11/09/2024 16:45:36 answering member 5305

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2024 answer text <p>Pay for civil servants outside of the Senior Civil Service is not set centrally; rather, departments and bodies have freedom to make decisions on pay within the parameters of the Pay Remit Guidance published annually by the Cabinet Office. The Pay Remit Guidance for 2024/5 can be found using the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-pay-remit-guidance-2024-to-2025/civil-service-pay-remit-guidance-2024-to-2025" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-pay-remit-guidance-2024-to-2025/civil-service-pay-remit-guidance-2024-to-2025</a></p><p> </p><p>The pay remit sets a percentage maximum by which bodies can increase their average paybill. Each department will need to consider how they intend to apply the award to their workforce, before implementing it. The final cost of the civil service pay award for 2024/25 and estimates for 2025/26 will not be confirmed until this is concluded.</p><p> </p><p>Data on the size of the Civil Service is available through the ONS Public Sector Employment publication, and can be found using the following link: <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel</a></p> answering member constituency Bristol North West answering member printed Darren Jones question first answered 09/09/2024 16:54:23 answering member 4621 label Biography information for Darren Jones
