<p /> <p>In July 2014 the Executive Team of the Information Commissioner’s Office
(ICO) was restructured and reduced from the Commissioner plus four Directors to the
Commissioner plus three Directors. As a part of the restructure, the Remuneration
Committee of the ICO’s non-executive Management Board reviewed the salaries of the
remaining Directors and made recommendations to the Commissioner based on the changes
to individual Director’s responsibilities that resulted from the restructure. The
mean percentage increase was 11.7% but as a result of the restructure the overall
spend on Executive salaries has been reduced.</p><p> </p><p>The ICO is subject to
the 1% public sector pay cap but it is the ICO’s intention to focus the money available
under the cap on those staff who will not benefit from the buyout of contractual progression,
providing a pay increase of 3% for most of these staff.</p>
