Dear Rustam Majainah

 

Thank you for your request for information about staff remuneration, which
we received on 31 October 2012.  Your request has been handled under the
Freedom of Information Act and we are responding within 20 working days of
the day following the date of receipt.

 

I can confirm that Cardiff Met is holding some information such as you
describe in your request.

 

 

Details of the emoluments of senior staff are already available in our
Financial Statements (see
[1]http://www3.uwic.ac.uk/English/AboutUs/P... If you
have trouble accessing this information please let me know.

 

223 individuals directly employed by Cardiff Met are paid less than £7.20
per hour.

 

We are not holding information in relation to staff pay for all
contractors and are, therefore, unable to confirm the number of
individuals employed by outside contractors to work at Cardiff Met who are
paid less than £7.20 per hour.

  

Cardiff Met does not have a formal policy relating to the pay of
individuals employed by outside contractors.   

 

No employees directly employed by Cardiff Met are paid at exactly the
National Minimum Wage.

 

Again we are not holding information in relation to staff pay for all
contractors and are, therefore, unable to confirm the number of
individuals employed by outside contractors to work at Cardiff Met who are
paid at exactly the National Minimum Wage.  No individuals are paid less
than the National Minimum Wage.

 

The ratio between the total remuneration of the highest paid employee and
that of the lowest paid is 1:16.6.

 

The ratio between the total remuneration of the highest paid employee and
that of the median paid is 1:7.8.
