Performance-related pay

Susan Davis made this Freedom of Information request to Department for Culture, Media and Sport

Department for Culture, Media and Sport did not have the information requested.

From: Susan Davis

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please could you provide me with a list of all performance-related
pay schemes in the public sector bodies for which your department
is responsible, with, for each scheme, the following information:

a) the categories of staff (i.e. job titles) to which the scheme
applies

b) the approximate numbers of staff in each such category

c) the categories of staff (i.e. job titles) to which the scheme
does not apply

d) the approximate numbers of staff in each such category

By "performance-related pay scheme" I mean both schemes where an
element of remuneration during each year is related to performance,
and schemes where the annual
increase in pay and/or benefits an individual receives in related
wholly or in part to their performance.

The Cabinet Office has kindly responded to a similar request in
response to the Civil Service, and advised that I contact HM
Treasury for all other public sector staff. HM Treasury, however,
advised that I contact each department, as they do not hold the
information centrally. You can view the correspondence relating to
these two requests at:
