Current status: Initiated by the Scottish Government. Answered by Shona Robison on 30 May 2024
To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish its 2024-25 public sector pay metrics.
The Scottish Government set out the 2024-25 public sector pay metrics today in a new Framework for a multi-year Pay Policy covering 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27. The cumulative impact of the pay metrics across the 3-year period is 9.3% compared with forecast CPI inflation of 5.7% over the same period. Employers are encouraged to continue our established progressive pay approach, which may include additional protections for the lowest paid.
