Request Received: 16 November 2021
I was wondering whether the 2021/22 employee pay review/settlement has now been finalised and implemented.
If so, please find enclosed a Freedom of Information request regarding this matter.
If it has yet to be concluded do you happen to know when would be best to submit the request again?
1) Please state the effective date (day and month) of your organisation's 2021/22 pay review.

8) If any employees were eligible for individual performance-related payments or bonuses over and above the general pay rise please state the range of increases (either as a percentage of their base salary or a cash amount as applicable), whether or not they were consolidated into basic pay and please state the overall % of the paybill allocated to fund these awards.
